As a fan from the nederlands already posted, there is also no shipment of the press kit edition to Austria. This makes me angry. Is it really confirmed that shipping to outside the UK is not possible, or is it only not possible to order while currency is set on Euros or Dollars? A dutch friend of mine added it to his cart, he changed the currency to Pounds to do that and it was no problem at all. He didn't go through the end of checkout yet though. |

Affairs and Gran Dame are two songs/demoes we know to exist from The Miracle sessions. And neither one is included here...So, could it be that they evolved into Water and YKYBTM??
I think those two tracks are from early in the Innuendo sessions, so they might be keeping them for an Innuendo box. |

Quite happy here. Disappointed that there are no instrumentals or alternate versions for the B-sides, so we're missing Fiddly Jam and the 10-minute version of Stealin'.
Affairs and Grand Dame were Innuendo outtakes, IIRC.

So we can be sure that will be no Freddie voices on Water and You know you belong to me, otherwise they would have sponsored like Face It Alone isn't it?

Also Hijack My Heart demo would have been a nice addition, as it definately exists.
I also find it it strange that TMLWKY is included on the vinyl, but not on any other discs.. It would have been easy to include at least a demo version to the "sessions" disc, as they wanted to make the point that it was originally planned to be included on the album.

Does anyone know since I live in America where should I buy this?
Since the DVDs will be a different format?
Thanks!

I was planning on getting the full box but I see there’s a two-disc set for £15, which contains ‘The Miracle Sessions’, which, for me, is the only item of real value. I was tempted by the same. But although I moan about all the superfluous tat, I'm a sucker for a box set! 😁 Yeah, it’s $165 for what I want, but considering what you get, it’s not a bad deal. I don’t want to miss out on this like I did the News of the World box set, so I’ll definitely be getting this (I’m a sucker for box sets, but more of a sucker for not spending money). Still, I might wait for Amazon’s presale in case that price comes down… |

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.
Also also I believe Freddie worked on a song from Barcelona in December 87 (I don’t have my FM box set handy at the moment). Maybe How Can I Go On? Wonder if there was any crossover we didn’t know about.
Also also also Mirac-umentals is still the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever read.

I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said or implied, let's just mention that 'You Know You Belong To Me' isn't a title that sits well for me xDDD
Hopefully those two unknown songs as of now, tend to be a nice sneak into Queen's kitchen! At this point *anything* slightly different from the already available recordings is very welcome, even if it's just outtakes of known songs.

I hate being that guy, but if there was an otherwise unknown promotional video for Was It All Worth It there is no way QPL would have waited 33 years to release it... think of all the additional footage DoRo could have crammed into their videos from 1992 onward!
I think it's just going to be a compilation video – as someone up-thread said, probably a career retrospective in case Freddie didn't make it through 1990. Maybe the song was planned as a posthumous single? Morbid thought, but hey.

Really sucks the alternate version of TMLWKY and the karaoke version of FIA are only available on vinyl, the latter not even being included in the set (unless you buy the bundle with the single)

Merch ideas
Face it Alone COVID masks?
Face it Alone mirror with Freddie in the corner
Invisible Man glassware?
Invisible Man mirror (aka a piece of glass in a frame, 😁)
As well as the 10" prints, they could be sets of coasters.
USB stick in the shape of that extended Q, or the 4 headed monster (another format to count towards chart sales if the album is included)
They've already issued slipmats for other albums, where's that?
Wasn't there a jigsaw back in 89? Do that again...
I Want It All oversized mug
Underwear with a still of the Breakthru train breaking through the polystyrene wall
3D Miracle Head Piggy Bank (find out if it was all worth it)
Since the tea towels have moved us into the kitchen, what about a printed silicone chopping board?
Travel mugs, key rings, umbrellas

I could add it to my basket with Euroe currency and no restriction on shipping is mentioned anymore. |

It's been said before in the context of MIH, and I've based my above comment on the line from the press release (!!!) " Queens original version was to emerge on Made In Heaven...". That could mean "as opposed to Brian's solo recording" given the relative timings, EXCEPT there is no mention of that version in the press release. |

] Also also also Mirac-umentals is still the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever read. If they HAD to try to come up with a stupid name, surely ‘Instru-miracles’ is infinitely better and more obvious?!! |

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" |

And now, the highlight of any release announcement - critiquing the press release!!! Actually, it's not bad. Not sure how strong the album is, but that's my subjectivity. David Richards getting implied credit for work on The Game and The Works (and then the implied downgrading of his work on AKOM) is a bit hamfisted, as is the "Europe Magic Tour" line, but other than that it seems to be factually accurate. The press release also plays heavily on the Breakthru video set interview being John’s very last….whereas there are already official releases with him being interviewed on the set of the TATDOOL video…. I noticed that too! Wtf? |

Wow, the 2cd is a very welcome surprise, I hadn't dared hope for that! Water and You Know You Belong To Me don't ring any bells - do we know them by different names (like When Love... for A New Life Is Born), or are these as much of a mystery to you guys as they are to me?
I was thinkin the same about Water and YKYBTM. I guess now it's time to begin speculating... 
Affairs and Gran Dame are two songs/demoes we know to exist from The Miracle sessions. And neither one is included here...So, could it be that they evolved into Water and YKYBTM??
Unless, just possibly, they were from the later 1989 sessions that started "Innuendo"? |
