OK - you read it here first.

According to the Fan Club magazine:

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fabulous A Night At The Opera album, there will be a special edition release later this year.

Deja vu anyone?

John S Stuart: 11 March 2005 - 00:50 (UK) - "The "boxsets" have been cancelled - because they are in NO one's interests... The first release WILL be some time THIS year - "A Night At The Opera" 30th Anniversary special edition (heralded to a great fanfare) - possibly followed by "A Day At The Races"... Meeeeooowwwwwwww!!! That's another cat escaped from the bag!

So it's happening.
All right, can't wait...!

There is a big Jackpot in the german lottery tomorrow... more than 20 million Euros.

Please name 6 out of 49... plus one out of 10... 0...9! Please!!! :-))

There is stil time for Jim Beach to change his mind, and cancel it because he does not want to flood the market.

Looks very promising though.

it'll be interesting what is on the second disc.....hopefully an instrument version of Bo Rhap (with piano, bass and drums only) will be there.....

were there any outtake/demo tracks recorded for the sessions?

"But i would love to hear Bohemian Rhapsody with no vocals..."

And what about the "opera section"? Always thought they put some much effort into it... ;-)

Lets hope that this will open the door for more stuff to follow.

bitesthedust: "...hopefully an instrument version of Bo Rhap (with piano, bass and drums only) will be there..."

John Lydon: "...i would love to hear Bohemian Rhapsody with no vocals."

NO - no, no, no, no, no, no...

This officially exists already! Seek it out!

Why take up much valued space on a special edition CD with stuff which is already out there?

I want stuff that I can not get hold of anywhere!
For Goodness sake, let's make special MEAN special - and NOT - rather mildly interesting!

AMEN!!!

Great. Can't wait too. And I'm really interested, if they do a new remaster of ANATO. Today's technology is much better than it was before. Or maybe they could use DVD-A remastering here.

Er, who says this will be two disc, or have anything new on it?

It could be a CD in a 12" LP sleeve...that would be "special".

Shite, but special.

I wasn't aware an instrument version of Bo Rhap (w/ piano, bass and drums) exists officially.....

The fan club actually published and distributed a magazine this year? Astonishing.

You could very well be correct - or in the words of Metallica...

Sad But True! - and don't go believing that such a scam is outwith the realms of QP!!!
