Also this is news to me that they regrouped on December 3, 1987. All these years – in official releases as well – the common knowledge was that they started in January 1988. I’m not saying this is a mind blowing fact, more like why go 35 years withholding this bit of information? It’s just strange. It's actually pretty mind-blowing to me. December 3, 1987 is substantially different from "some point in 1988" - suddenly it's just over a year after Knebworth, which carries a whole other sentiment when looking at the timeline and everything that came after. |

For EU-Citizens: to order the Deluxe Edition including the Press Kit, you have to change the currency to British Pounds. If you try to order with Payment in Euros, you will receive a message, that this article can't be delivered to your country. It works, I already ordered it and received the order confirmation.

I thought someone said it was the MIH version of TMLWKY, so not a big deal anyway? Based on the Korean website that seems to have had the correct information all along, it's gonna be a different one "- DISC 8 (LP): 180-gram 1LP vinyl featuring the 2011 Bob Ludwig master plus additional track “Too Much Love Will Kill You”, in a different version to the one that came out on ‘Made In Heaven’, creating the Original Long Lost Cut"
This site says it's the "original unreleased version" - although they could just be referencing the Korean site, as there's no mention of this in the press release. |

I’m a sucker for box sets, but more of a sucker for not spending money #firstworldproblems
You know you're gonna do it. Why fight it ?  Oh I got both it and the NOTW box set Lord Fickle linked a few posts up! |

Hmm yes, but still the new listing on the Dutch site I shared also says it's gonna be a different version. I have a feeling that track listing was a fan made guess based on the discs titles, rather than taken from the website. Some discs just have a question mark, and all of the content given is already available content.

(but you can't buy the Press Kit version there, argh) |

The track listing to disc 2 looks marvellous. Pretty sure Breakthru with real drums and bass will be the standout cut - that's the one I'm looking forward to the most. Same. I've been waiting 33 years for this! 😁 Just noticed it's almost an entire minute longer than the official released cut too. Definitely going to be an interesting one. |

Some of it could be studio banter, but I wonder if it will still include the 'A new life is born...' intro? If so, then it would appear twice on the same disc. Curiouser and curiouser... |

Does anyone know since I live in America where should I buy this? Since the DVDs will be a different format? Thanks! Good to see you've managed to login again. I guess you would need a multi-region DVD player to play this in the States? Not sure if the Blu-ray is all regions. I've heard that Amazon sells the DVDs and Blu Rays in the American format, but I don't know if that's true or not. |

It seems to be available with Amazon US on Hollywood Records, so presumably it would be in compatible formats. The Miracle a.co/d/iDkYaN6 |

It seems they have lost the video reels from Breakthru and Scandal, in any case, I have not met HD fragments in new releases. Just had a thought. I Want It All was the only video from The Miracle that was NOT filmed and edited by DoRo Productions. Maybe Queen only have the master print to I Want It All in their archives? |

Here's the ONLY thing I'm pissed about - an extra £25 for the "exclusive" version with the press-kit and teaser tapes. Basically, £25 for a CD. Really annoyed at the price of it over the NOTW set, when they haven't just put the extra disc in. Really poor performance on that. I'd have thought the exclusive version would be signed and with the press-kit. Didn't realise they had skimped on the other disc on the £145 set.

They have already changed the tracklist on queenonline, yesterday track 6 of the DVD / BD was "was it all worth it promo video" bringing to 9 the total number of tracks of the DVD / BD, today they are 8

That’s quite a howler though! |

The Miracle - John's Ending sounds interesting. Couldn't this just mean no "That time will come..." section? The jam that precedes it (and is partly overlaid on it) is based on a bass riff, so perhaps he was the originator of the idea and hence "John's" ending. Exactly - maybe an extended version of the ending on this one:

Also also also Mirac-umentals is still the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever read. A poor man's version of Pink Floyd naming conventions ?
1965–1967: Cambridge St/ation 1968: Germin/ation 1969: Dramatis/ation 1970: Devi/ation 1971: Reverber/ation 1972: Obfusc/ation Which was Roger Waters' idea to put in the forward slash in those random spots, based on that white stripe from the black van they used to drive around in. |

So, I had a few questions that I have regarding the box set and the picture disc. I didn't see them answered when scrolling through the thread (So, if it was, I apologize):
- "Too Much Love Will Kill You" is exclusive to the vinyl edition found in the box, correct?
- Is the mix of that song different or the same as the one found on Made in Heaven?
- Do we know if the version of the videos that will be on the DVD/Blu Ray are newly mastered versions or rehashes of the version found on the Greatest Video Hits II DVD?
- Besides the teaser CD, what else will be in the replica of the press kit in the QOL exclusive?
And regarding the QOL Picture disc, they say it's limited edition. Have they listed anywhere how many copies it's limited to?
Thanks in advance for any answers/help.

If the BluRay hasn't had rescans of the vids, then it has no reason to exist alongside the DVD.
There was a note about Rudi newly-compiling something, so there's def been involvement.

Just bear in mind, if they haven't sorted out the VAT issue, you could face quite some quite hefty additional charges. Indeed, and above that it is mandatory to pay additional import duties for packages above EUR150, which this boxset clearly is, so ordering from QOL will make the boxset more expensive as buying it at the local recordshop anyway.... (but you can't buy the Press Kit version there, argh) Jeroen, import duties on CD's, which I assume they will describe the goods with, are 0%. www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/internetaankopen/content/zijn-er-extra-kosten-als-ik-een-pakket-bestel-buiten-de-eu#:~:text=Dit%20zijn%20de%20extra%20kosten%20als%20u%20bestelt%20buiten%20de%20EU&text=Die%20moet%20u%20altijd%20betalen,een%20verlaagd%20tarief%20van%209%25.&text=Is%20uw%20aankoopbedrag%20%E2%82%AC%20150,Dan%20betaalt%20u%20ook%20invoerrechten. So that should ease the pain. I took the gamble last night and ordered the Boxset + Press Kit from Queenonline. On the order it again clearly states that VAT is included, so I hope they have sorted that out now. At first, I was still a bit shocked by the price. I was expecting something around € 160,-, but with the Press Kit and postage I still exceeded well aboved € 200,- but hey: * I think the boxset and contents look great! * I've been waiting and saving for this for at least a year. * Really looking forward to the 'Session' and 'Instrumentals' CD. * The 'Teaser Tape' CD and Press Kit is a nice bonus. Looking forward to it! I will put the 2 CD edition and Face It Alone 7" single on my Sinterklaas/Christmas wish list 😀 |

Having had the recent experience of double VAT and import duties (total 15 € extra) with the RT Outsider Live vinyl, I decided I won’t be buying from the official store again, even if that means not being able to purchase the box with the press kit (my much younger and blinder fan version would have gone for that option no matter the price, but in the end you read/look at that stuff once or twice and that’s it, and you won’t play the teaser many times more).
So I’m happy with the option I found from the Universal Music spanish site. The big box (sans the press kit) + the Face It Alone 7” at total € 180, including postage. Not bad compared to the official site.
The box will be much cheaper in a couple of years, but I can’t wait that long 😎
