I feel like this image was included just to make it absolutely clear that this album is, in fact, from 1992.  |

Brian said, that next release from the (not so) GOLD series will be ANOTHER WORLD. Finally we'll have an opportunity to listen to never heard before 'Maybe Baby' and 'Only Make Believe' tracks  Borrowing my own post from the Neil Murray Interview Topic: "I think we can already tell what the AW extra disc will consist of: 'The Business' (Rock On Cozy Mix) Business (USA Radio Mix Uncut) Hot Patootie Maybe Baby It's Only Make Believe FBI Brian Talks Otro Lugar Another World (Unreleased french version - don't bet on this) On My Way Up (Live in Paris) Hammer To Fall (Live In Paris) Why Don't We Try Again (Edit) If (and this is a HUGE "if") a DVD will be thrown in as well, you should expect VH-1, not RAH. Mr May may mention in a interview or IG post that he has found 100 tapes full of demos, outtakes, work-in-progress, bits, pieces and blah blah blah. Do not believe any of that. We are not getting anything we do not already have." |

Whether you are a fan of this release of not, it sounds fantastic. I went ahead and bought the box set, so looking forward to receiving it when it gets here. But for now, it sounds great on my Apple Music stream.

Anyone else a bit miffed that the book isn’t hardback and thinking he should have included a commemorative sixpence rather than a bloody useless badge?

Using a fake actual Queen audience picture when he wanted to have nothing to do with Queen, and with the purpose of pretending that he played for massive audiences rather than small venues. Classic Brian May. |

Listening on Apple Music, and it sounds great! So happy to have this available again... my original CD is scratched beyond playability.

What? Mine is still in mint condition. It staggers me how people can't take a CD from a case, put it in a player, then take it out of said player and put it back in it's case without scratching it. |

Disappointing extras, no live concert film included, that god awful GOLD series logo and badge… now a paperback accompanying book. It’s staggering just how they continue to be *this* bad continuously. |

George Harrison's all things must pass 50th anniversary edition also came out today in bunch of different formats so it will be cool to see which album of those 2 guitarists (from arguably Britain's 2 most popular bands) will chart better in UK.

That's a tough choice, “I just got Paint Shop Pro this morning” vs. “Live at the Powder-blue Void”. |

Gotta say, the album sounds absolutely tremendous…. I’ve a good stereo in my car and was blown away.
Unfortunately I ripped the case of the deluxe version within 5 seconds of opening it 🙄

YES — and given that the original commemorative sixpence was to promote Back To the Light, I too question why it could have been part of the merchandise. Plus it’d go great with my full set  It may still happen. Who knows. |

I've just listened to bits of the album on my computer, and I'm finding it's still a bit lacking in the bottom end, which I'd hoped would be improved on. Need to hear it properly, but that was my first impression.

Brian said, that next release from the (not so) GOLD series will be ANOTHER WORLD. Finally we'll have an opportunity to listen to never heard before 'Maybe Baby' and 'Only Make Believe' tracks Star Fleet may come after that, according to this interview with Ultimate Classic Rock published today. Also, we may hear some unreleased stuff from those sessions. Here's an excerpt: UCR: This is the first wave in a series of planned reissues. The Star Fleet EP is such a special release, how much you can expand that one? Are there additional songs fans haven’t heard? Or, at the very least, is there some good jamming that could be included? Brian: [Laughs] I think the latter. I haven’t gone back in there yet, but there’s a few tapes of everything, which I’d love to get back into. I know Edward [Van Halen] played the solo on “Star Fleet” three times. Each time it was incredible. Each time it was different. So I’m going to go back in and look at that. I think that will be interesting. I mean, Edward is another … . I don’t like to call him Eddie. He always used to say, “I don’t like this ‘Eddie Van Halen’ thing! I’m Edward!” [Laughs] But I’d like to get back into that. I didn’t want to do it first, because I wanted to put my proper solo album out first. I think I’ll do this first, Another World and then the third one will be Star Fleet. ultimateclassicrock.com/brian-may-interview-2021/ |

Lots of travelling with a discman in less than ideal circumstances. That doesn't negate your comment at all though! There's no good reason for it to be damaged  |

i preordered the picture disc bundle as well as the box set , the pic disc has been removed the site , i wonder was it withdrawn . anybody else here order it The picture disc bundle is sold out, but a "very limited small handful" of the picture disc is now available individually for £24.99. Maybe from cancelled orders after they sold out? They're numbered and limited to 3000 copies. |

Finally have time to sit and listen to the new remaster. I think it sounds crystal clear with excellent balance. The vocals sound as if he's right in the room, especially in Love Token during the spoken dialogue. I always want more bass, but it's sounding good so far on the stuff I have listened to. I did take a moment to sneak and listen to my original copy, and perhaps I should spend more time deep listening, but the production was already near perfect then. I guess it's mostly nice to just have this back on the market.

I got my box set today which came as a surprise, i didn't think it would come day after release. remastering sounds great to me. despite the facts we didn't get anything unreleased on it (would love to hear resurrection outtakes and demos) I'm still pleased i got it. it's a good album with some killer guitar and with Brian in the best vocal form of his life. also love big booklet which is the size of LP cover but that is to be expected from these kind of releases.

The booklet is nice, and the signed print I'll get framed. CD sounds very good although not had a chance to play the LP yet. Worth £70? No.

I was suprised to see the picture disc + boxset + tape + 2CD + black vinyl LP already being delivered today. It looks well made and sounds pretty good. But was kinda disappointed that the booklet didn't include any new information except for some pictures of handwritten lyrics. I was hoping for maybe a longer introduction by Brian or something. But we only got a 1 paragraph note  |

Driven By You 2 was basically a revisit for another Ford TV commercial. The original caused a lost of interest as I recall so it was followed up with second advertisement a few months later.
