"Crown Jewels" selling for $35 new

All of the Hollywood Records "extras"! I am a Queen snob in that respect because I hate the "remixed" versions and the so-called "rare" tracks that were added on to the reissued material aren't actually all that rare!!. I much prefer the original releases on the original labels (domestic and import). The absolute worst was on GHIII, the Wyclef Jean thing. Pass the barf bag!! (LOL)

Jeffrey, you must be a newer Queen fan because the early ones you mentioned have been floating around for many years now. A lot of the "rare" tracks were B-sides to UK and US singles or on much-circulated bootlegs (which so many of us diehard fans possess and wouldn't live without!). I will give Hollywood a kudo for making them public at long last, but I still won't forgive them for the remixes or the content on the Greatest Hits albums. They're horrible! The edited songs are so bad. Freddie would be very angry about that if he were alive to see/hear them (thank God he doesn't know).
Funny how Capitol Records (USA) never did that to any of the Beatles' many hits compilations (including last year's "1"). Why Hollywood chose to edit some of the Queen songs for content is beyond me! Thank God they left Bo Rhap alone -- that truly would have been an unpardonable sin if they'd done something to that!

Deacon Fan seems fairly knowledgable to me ... but what do I know?

The ad says: "Please note: International shipping is not available for this item."

Is $50 a good price for this box?

Btw, how much does it weigh (pounds\kilos)?

The 'long lost retake' on the 'Queen' Hollywood CD, and the 'long lost original' on the KYA anniversary CD are the same. Nothing 'new' that I can tell.

One of the few good 'remixes', along with 'Liar', SCC, and FBG. Remains true to the original.

I love the liner note in that KYA CD about the 'Crown Jewels': "for the first time, the original album packages are duplicated to the last detail in CD format." The NOTW cover certainly wasn't.

Didn't know the Disney deals cost was going up. I thought it was in the high 40s this summer.

As to weight...8 cds in their little cardboard album sleeves, a small booklet with the lyrics, in a small durable cardboard container.

Worthwhile at the current prices. A true rip-off when it first came out. Wonder why there's so many still available;-)

And the Bicycle Race poster in the Jazz sleeve -- a lot of people didn't expect to see that, surely! ;-)
I love my box, even kept the sticker on the shrinkwrap in case I ever sell it (not in this lifetime!).

"As to weight...8 cds in their little cardboard album sleeves, a small booklet with the lyrics, in a small durable cardboard container."

Yeah, but what about the big box? :)

Can you tell me how much does it weigh, Lisa? I don't need to know the exact weight, only approximately :)

I put it on my postal scale and it reads 2.7 pounds. Disney packed it very well in tissue and bubble wrap and it arrived intact, no mashed box -- I was very happy about that, knowing the way the USPS mishandles packages...
