Let's discuss the upcoming Full Works set

What part of SINGLES meant demos to you?

Thank you for paying NO ATTENTION WHATSOEVER, and making an utter asshole out of yourself.

ONCE MORE, for the LAST time: this box will contain B-SIDES, EXTENDED VERSIONS, SINGLE VERSIONS. That is NOT demos, alternate takes, whatever.

Can your struggling brain FINALLY grasp this?!!

We can all wait and see what is released, if they ever release the box set.

And anyway, would you not rather that they did release all the old demos etc. to give a more complete official collection.

I also used the term demo in a loose term in that I meant all the remixes, extended versions etc. as well.

And I describe you as a genius in exactly the same terms.

Ah.
So this isn't the boxset I've been waiting for then.
Ah well. Might as well give QPL some more moolah this winter.

I for one, won't miss the YDFM remixes as they're all shite and not even remixed by the band.

I hope it contains unreleased remixes (by the band) - what was it that John remixed in 86 that was never released? Was it a Queen or Freddie track?[/QUOTE]
Thanks for being nice, unlike the_hero[/QUOTE]

*sigh* childish. the unreleased remix of John were Staying Power and There must be more to life than this (at least a Freddie solo track, could be Love me like there's no tomorrow as well.)[/QUOTE]
Well I am a child, unlike you.

In this month's 'Rhythm' (UK Drum mag)there is a short interview with Brian in appreciation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He says in this that the mix of We Will Rock You featuring Chad Smith and Flea will feature in the singles box set, but that it is the only one of the Rick Rubin mixes to be in there as it's the only one that he likes. This suggests that the box will be heavily 'pruned' simply according to what Brian/Roger/Jim Beach like, as opposed to being complete with all singles releases/mixes.

Not really. That just refers to the alternate mixes out there a la YDFM.

Peace,
Adam.

Some of the YDFM remixes were quite good. The Late Mix for example...

V.

By not having all of the versions of songs or all the songs themselves that were singles on the boxset it will allow them to include them on re-issues of the original studio l.p.s Hence why calling the "The Full Works" may not be such a good idea.

Funny... I always thought it would be done in the same fashion as the complete works. There are no rules to this set.

Peace,
Adam.

P.S. I too like two or three of the YDFM mixes!

I'll be quite happy to have ALL of the original 12" mixes in one place at decent quality, all of the b-sides including unique stand=alone versions of crossfaded tracks for example.

When it comes to stuff like You Don't Fool Me or the WWRY mini-album by Rubin, I hope they use good judgement and don't waste too much space on those.

That said, I'll buy the thing anyway.. and they know that guys like me will buy whatever they put out :(

I am not looking forward to it at all. It seems like a recycling project to me. I would rather see more concert DVDs like Live on Fire, for example. I would rather buy a recording of Freddie blowing farts than pay for things that I already own in 98%.

I'm actually looking forward to this - I've got the Elvis Costello singles box sets, and they're quite good, so I imagine Queen's will be just as good. Certainly, Mr. Costello was far more prolific than our boys were, but I think the price of the boxes will be worth it to have a lovely-sounding version of 'A Human Body'.

Also, when'd you become a moderator, Thomas?

Thomas has been a mod since he was born, just ask his Mom :)
Anyways...no clue if im gonna spend some $$ on this...
