We don't care because we have been lied to again and again... and again... and again.... Until a member of Queen says something, or the box set is in my freaking hands, I will pay no heed to the constant bullshit of the Queen Box Set. It's just like when I was a kid and said, "Where in the hell are the X-Men, Spider-man, Fantastic Four and other Marvel comic movies????" Like then, same as now... eventually they will wake up and figure it out.

Thanks for the answer.
I´m sorry for my ignorance, i don´t read the Queenonline Forum because i don´t have time, and i prefer the Queenzone forum.
But, who is this Ken?- Apart from being the moderator, is this information from the inside, or it´s just what he thinks?
Take care

Yup, when we've been dead and gone for 200 years.
The next QP release will be called "Paul Rodgers' Greatest Hits", and the worst part is that it will be better than anything Roger & Brian still have up their sleeves (Pepsi/Britney, 5ive, Robbie, Greatest Hits 3 to 25, Best of Greatest Hits, Best of Best of Greatest Hits, Hittest Greats, Bested Tits, Hated Bits etc.)

Hmm...
Perhaps before I'm 200, ill actually live to see the announcement "in 20 years from this day, QP will finally release their long anticipated Queen Singles Boxset"
In which case i'll have my nurses aid turn up the oxygen tank and keep cranking the morphine because id atleast like to be buried with this box set...
Maybe I have better hope for a new Guns N Roses album?? *shrugs sholders*
But I dont think that because Brian and Roger booked STUDIO TIME with Mr. Rodgers is the cause of the delay. Although, with such prolific musicians going into play around in a studio, its highly unlikely taht nothing will come from it...

“Some bitter old idiot who likes to play god?” The qualification for this unprovoked pre-empitive and rather vindictive diagnosis is based on what exactly?
Oh Bubbles, you might talk some sense if people weren’t forever famously blowing you. The ultimate qualification for your statement is based in seeing if I turn out to be right, or not. Better hope the person you so bitterly attack is wrong, or you’ll look a complete see you next Tuesday, won’t you?
While you’re waiting for that, expect one of the next major Queen releases to be a gig “the faithful” will probably all already have, only this time it will also be available on double CD as well as the visual format. If people were upset by the Q+PR live album, and then by the Freddie album, then my prediction is just watch this space.
As I was once told, often it’s not what you know, but who you know.

Yeah I spent a little while at QOL until his bitter, bitchy replies to people (when he should have just shut up) annoyed me enough.
I was amused however when he argued that the first BBC session DID NOT contain any elements from the first album's backing tracks.
People would ask legitimate questions and this asshole would jump in with statements like "who cares?'. From a regular board member this might be alright, but somehow this idiot became a moderator of sorts.
So with that type of person 'above' the common folk, I was not interested in hanging around to watch anymore.

essiek = Kessie backwards.
Kessie = Kes?
Kessie = Kes?
O.k. someone somewhere might have said the box set were to be bookend projects but I don't see that as the case whatsoever on the basis that...well there is no reason for that. You all have to understand there are strategic ways to release things and that includes some years where nothing may happen! No one lied to anyone about anything. Plans change...it is a business...Queen aren't anyone's slaves. You all want them to do this right. It would suck to have product released and then go out of print. That's why is important for them to be strategic so that the product sells. What would be worse is if they flood the market (and as much as the gripers say they haven't done that at all) and then the stores start not releasing there material or become very selective to it because it doesn't sell. I believe over the years we will see all of this material from the vaults released along with new material from Queen + Paul Rodgers of which I am awaiting like a mad-man and have been for years now...
Can someone remind me the name of what the singles box set was supposed to be? Something about using the name "The Works" again even though that was already done for the limited edition box set in 1984 called "The Complete Works"...which is why I thought something seemed suspicious about it being released at all...there already had been a box set with this similar name! I don't know...
Bubbles. The strangest thing of all is that you come across as being at least as much of an asshole, if not half as much again, on here.
By being so negative about other people, who up until that point hadn't and wouldn't have commented on you, you are doing exactly the same, if not worse, to them as you accuse them of doing to you. Pots and kettles spring to mind.
I'm not idiot enough to think you represent the good people, in other words, the majority here at QZ, a few of who, know me a bit better than you seem to.

As regards the sessions containing elements of recordings made outside the BBC centre at Langham Place, then I'm sorry to say that I think I said something along the lines of "It would be hard to believe that Queen then cheated the spirit of the sessions, which was meant to be a live recording with only the one chance of an overdub run through the heads". As far as I'm aware, The Beatles adhered to completely live recordings without ANY overdubs, and would probably have fainted if anyone suggested backing tapes.
The BBC had previous used these guidelines to allow genuine musical talent to come in there and shine through, and not be corrupted by people taking backing tracks in there. THAT is just one step away from a bloody Stock Aitken and Waterman style BBC session. Even in 1978 the BBC were still adamant that everything recorded onto a BBC session had all originated within their studios.

Totally agree. But I don't know that everything from the vaults will be released. I can only put this down to hearing new demo stuff from Freddie, recently!
Adam.
