OK, I talked to Jim Beach a bit in Cologne. Our conversation was like this:
MS: "Jim, where's the damn Queen anthology? You promised to release it soon."
JB: "Oh yes, it's scheduled for a release."
MS: "Yes, sure but for what date? 2024?"
JB: "2009 actually."
MS: "OK, enough jokes... when will it be released?"
JB: "2009, seriously."
There you have it. Don't know if he was kidding or not but he seemed to be serious.

2009 is better than never. :)
Serry would be in the grave in 2009, so I hope my kids will buy it as a tribute to me!
well... would be good, wouldn't it? I read Greg somewhere saying that they have planned releases for couple of years so...
Soon enough :) great post.
Probably they'll release it the same day Axl issues Chinese Democracy
They should start releasing a box set every year. From every tour *dreams away*.
But it IS possible.

By then 40% of fans will be sick of Queen from all the re-issues.
Apparently, 2009 is the year that hell will freeze over.

that is the best reply to a Queen Anthology thread I've ever seen =)
The first one should come out in 2011 so that they can re-release the catelog in dual disc form to also include 5.1 like Sony have done for their artist. They need the re-released catelog first so that the box sets will have the latest information concerning what has or has not been released at that point. PLUS the catelog needs to be re-released as dual discs and in 5.1 first so that any unreleased material and film that they want to release with the actual original studio l.p.s will be included and again so that the boxsets will have the latest information concerning their studio c.d. releases. You don't want the box sets released and then re-release the catelog like I said afterwards having material on them that is not discussed on the box sets. Plus they will need a few years for the catelog to sell before any huge box sets are released...
So far for me, the Queen Box set I have been waiting on since 1996, so thats what, 13 some odd-end years?
I remember when made in heaven came out, and at the end of the year they said how Queen was gonna do a box set..*sigh*
