Only half right. Brian did state that Platinum will be withdrawn soon, but the whole idea was to get folks more interested in the original albums. Adding a new complilation would make that idea redundant.
So I don't believe there will be a new compilation.
That said, I've always thought it would be cool to have a maximum capacity single disc compilation like the Elvis or Beatles discs which run close to 80 mins.
And perhaps this is why Greg is interested in my edits. I sent him a disc a couple weeks ago.
Ugh, I would really prefer they hired me to actually do them rather than recreating mine. Nobody else will be able to get them just right.

Uh oh....
Darren had a preminition last night...
In this vision he saw that Brian wants people to get back to the original albums...
...'Rocks' has already gone...
...but the Platinum Collection stands in his way...
...EMI unwilling to sacrifice one of it's continuingly well-selling selling albums...
...so a compromise is made by issuing a 1-disc 'best of the 3' album for X-mas...
???

Which brings us nicely back to my original prediction...
But that Queen Disco suggestion. Yes, a CD of Queen dance classics with a bonus CD of all 16 mixes of You Don't Fool Me...

Actually, Hollywood Records had plans to put out a disco set in the early 90s, which why some of the 12" mixes never appeared on the re-released albums - why it never happened though is another great Queen mistery :-P

thats got to be one of the strangest tracklists I've ever seen. Live tracks, (instrumental) remixes, retakes etc, all in random order....

All I can say is Ohhhhhhhhh Nooooooooooooo !!!!!
Lets just hope it does not have another version of WWRY on it sung by somebody else?
Hey now there's an idea - release a WHOLE album of WWRY !!
All the different versions with different people singing it (Robbie, John Farhman, and such)?
ROFL
LOL
Bring me a straight jacket !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha Teddybear!
If this compilation includes 46664, or any new things, I'd want to buy it... otherwise I'm fine with the albums (goes away to hug the CDs).

Aw gosh...thanks for noticing...I just realized there's no such thing as WWRY w/Foos...
Maybe more like BBC 1977 0r "It's Late" BBC
crappy? I take that to mean you consider yourself a piece of toilet paper, pathetic earthling!
