SUNBURY AUSTRALIA CONCERT 1974 / OTHER QUEEN RARITIES

I can imagine the frustration - irritation - to QPRod/GB about that so much material, footage and much more is held behind.
I heard GB once telling that basically Roger and Brian are deciding what might be published and what not. (at the dutch queenmeeting, I am sure more of you heard that)
GB is not more then the man who puts it all in, doing the dusty work, so to say.
It is easy to assume here, in the postings, that he should publish more, but it is most likely that not he but others in the QPROD team are responsible for, for example, the permanent delay of the Queen -box, and the decisssion now to do a single box.
Point to the proper persons if you can.

And assuming things, 'thinking' that there should be done something, 'thinking' that (in this case GB) he should such and that is not realy fair as long as you are not aware of the position that he is in

I think (ha, yes, I think as well) that Isis made a nice point in here, I agree with what she tells, that the ones who realy can clear up in this are not we, the fans

I do hope that one day QueenProd or the responsible people there - or their spokesmen- will turn to QueenZone and clear the things out a bit

In my opinion we, the fans, have the right to know what will be done with stuff (as well as with emails, but therefore we have another topic)
But before they can tell they should know themselves of course what is about to come and what not

Further, thanks to the many leaks, we have the privilege to KNOW a lot of the things that for one or another reason are not officially published

I think that we cannot blame anyone for not officially publishing it
We simply know (and most of us HAVE) too much info, or even tapes and so more, with the things that should not have gone out if it was to QueenProd and Queen

In this case I think you need to point to the traders (who more or less press to get the things out), and most of all to the people responsible for the leaks

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Isis wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Yes luthorn I noticed that. On QO there was a thread up a while back where a few of us tried to encourage QP to release some of the footage from the vault for the next DVD release - it was hinted that there was not much left in the vault nor was of it good enough quality or complete to be released on a dvd.

I am rather miffed slightly with the mention that there are thousands of tapes in QP storage under Greg's care on this post. Hmm if there are indeed thousands of tapes don't you think it would be great if QP released some new footage for us to buy instead of the same stuff recycled all the time?

Imagine it if they released new material out there from the vault from the days of Freddie - stuff we have never seen before. I don't understand what is gained by not releasing the footage officially for sale if there is this much footage sitting under Greg and QP finger tips. Brian did mention on his soap box that Roger and he have no say in the Freddie solo footage and it is to do with the estate of Freddie. But surely there must be Queen Footage in that 1000 pile of tapes collection QP has there.

Maybe someone can clear this up for me.
I can give you the link where this matter was responded to on QO if you like. Just confused by this mention of how much footage and the level of quality Greg mentioned on this post.

Isis[/QUOTE]

That's right Isis. I would like to read those posts, so if you please post a link that would be great.
Point to remember, as we all know, is that in the past ten years we only saw one unique release from QP and that was Queen on Fire. Everything else was re-make of already published material. I would say that it is fans who have THOUSNADS of tapes in their archives and not QP. In all honesty, I built my Queen collection thanks to all of you here.

Audio tapes not video tapes that Greg talked about. See earlier FC mag about 4000 tapes, 75% of them are various backups

This is where it gets touched on in the first place that I was aware of - this was when there was some communication between the fans and Admin about what was going on for Freddie birthday stuff to come.

You will have to sift through it to get everyone else’s mention to get new stuff out there from the vault for release for Freddie’s birthday.

Now the mention of the quality of footage and so on did go up on the boards somewhere - but it was on another post that I did not comment on I just read it. I will keep on looking for it but it is hard to locate it once you lose track of posts. If I can find the comments about the quality of the footage and lack of footage in the vault I will let you know that link. Sorry I have not been tuned in on QO for a while - busy elsewhere
