The Miracle Collector’s Edition - All Discussion

After listening to the sessions disc many times over my top 5 in no order are

Breakthru - Ever wondered what The Mircle tour would sound like? Put some crowd noise in the background and this Breakthru take sounds as close as you'd get!

I Guess We're Falling Out - the new lyrics were a surprise. Sounds as nice as the well known leaked version.

I Want It All - Was nice hearing a different version to a classic.

Was It All Worth It - Lots of lines I felt were better in this take than the final one. I love this song.

Party - It shocked me how much better it is than the version released. I'll never understand why they released that version when they had this.

I liked and enjoyed everything else other than two. I even liked Brian's demos.

The two I didn't enjoy was The Invisible Man because its pretty much or might be the same as the one released in the deluxe version of Miracle. Does no early takes of Freddie singing this song exist? If so then this inclusion makes sense.

Scandal I found boring even though I love this song. Same vocals as released version, would've liked to have heard a different vocal take on this. Teaser tape had a different take of Scandal, right?

Overall though I loved it! You're all in for a treat.

I thought the Teaser Tape version was the same as on the album. Differences are in the Capitol Records and Rough Mixes Tape.

Hi! a question ? A blu-ray or dvd a full album in DTS or Dolby digital?

Only slightly, but it's certainly not as different as the other songs' vocal tracks. I wonder if Brian more or less had the song in place when he wrote it? I'd say this is probably the least essential track on the disc, and there's still enough to keep it interesting. (Though they went too hard with the 'clap' sound effect...)

Yep, had another listen and I'm wrong here. I meant to say the lyrics are the same and sounds very similar to release version but it is definitely a different vocal take. My bad there. 

But I still feel it's one of the lesser interesting ones as the others had studio chatter and different lyrics. I guess as someone said already this was one was pretty much already ready to go. 

So..Just a few things: party and kashoggi are way better than the album version, as if you could imagine them playing a Miracle live tour. The Miracle John ending: wow, John was so fucking genius, kind a like Super Mario Bros theme ending,so funny, very interesting. I loved Breakthru, it seems another song, brilliant. I Want It all starting reminds me some Bring Back That Leroy Brown, cool! I don't know why they mixed Dog With a Bone without all of those Freddie power vocals we had on the previous fan club version. I Guess we're fallin out, they done a great job putting together what they had from other takes. Overall I Love the miracle sessions, I think It was worth waiting years for this.

So do we think it was Brian that was so fond of the drum machine? Makes sense given what they were saying about the retake of I Can’t Live With You for Queen Rocks they mentioned that Roger wasn’t pleased that his drums were left off the original. 

Perhaps we’ll get an Innuendo box set……………

Yes...and not exactly..because you can hear clearly at the end that Freddie wants to take it to the Hang On In There direction, but it's brilliant to hear these kind of things because we have finally a "how to" of what they have done The Miracle album finished with choiced songs instead of others ones rejected. Of course the rejected songs are gold for anybody in the music industries but we know Queen were perfectionist.

Because it was 1988, and nobody could've predicted how dated that technology was going to sound in just a few years' time.

Same with Pink Floyd and “A Momentary Lapse Of Reason,” which is why David Gilmour re-mixed it a few years ago with help from Nick Mason re-recording almost all of the drum parts. If Queen could do the same with “The Miracle” it would be an even better album

They still had the title track to film in November. But technically it is “one of” the last videos, I think it’s just weird for us to read that knowing there were six videos to go.
