It was never officially announced to begin with, but it's certain to exist as it's been mentioned by official sources. However, they have a finished box set that they seemingly do not care about as much as they should.
Perhaps if we were to nag on social media, we might get some replies and/or make the wheels turn but that's a stretch.

If it exists, and as has been rumoured, is finished and ready for release, then why wouldn't they release it? They must have invested time, effort and some money in completing it, so you would have thought that QPL would have wanted to regain some of that investment.
Personally, I don't think it was ever anything more than rumour and speculation. They may have had plans for it, and those plans may have formulated into a theoretical product, but I don't believe it went any further than that.

and the "ready to go" [mis]information appeared to be the usual prick-teasing rubbish spouted by a certain archivist's social media account. why would anyone believe any of this? ever.

I am not entirely sure, but I think JSS did mention that there was work being done on anthology box sets divided in early years, middle years and last years. This was back in 2001-2002, not too long after the FM collection had released. I suppose they would have contacted him to obtain a number of recordings that were only in his possession for that effect.
Of course, you can see that their greatest effort to release archival studio recordings since then and until now was the 2011 40th anniversary editions. So far, it doesn't look like we'll get anything nearly that relevant this year.

I was in the room when Jim Beach announced the boxset. It was at the casino in Montreux during Freddie's 73rd birthday celebration. So it's much more than just a rumor. My guess is the pandemic and "Live Around The World" stalled its production. |

A few of us came up with a date for the release, all from different sources, which was strange. I hope we do see it at some point, but it's Queen...

Let's not forget that in 1996, the B-sides to the "Let Me Live" single were supposedly taken from the forthcoming Queen at the BBC album. At that time, the fan club magazine I'm sure said that they were going to release all sessions. It finally appeared in 2016.

Where do we sign? |

I suppose it would be inappropriate to send QPL a "personal sackful of salt" as a reward for QPL's "exemplary" customer service??? Just asking for a friend ... |

so, it seems that we will have finally on 2022: www.fan.pl/queen-the-miracle/sklep/muzyka/9lp,p94208612 9LPs that probably means 9 "objects", that could be 2 CDs, 1 Bluray, and 1 LP (the original album) and maybe 5 7" singles replicas of the singles? also, it's listed an LP and a double CD. |

I think I'll wait for an official announcement before breaking out the Digestives. 🙂 |

I have that sinking feeling that it won't be released anytime soon.

Someone ought to make a parody of the song and make it about this illusive box set. That'd be hilarious. I'll start.  The one thing we're all waiting for
Is peace on earth, an end to waiting
It's a miracle box we need, the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today
...
That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all bitch and moan |

Captain Cook and cain and able,
Will I see the box set on my table?!
If all God's people could be free
To stream the box set on my 4G!

Was it all worth it?
Spending all my hard earned dough
Nine disc box set of stuff we know
Was it all worth it?
All the waiting and all the pain
Just to be let down again
Was it all worth it?
But let's try not to moan and grouse
It might just be miraculous!

QPL has gone dry
Greatest Hits keeps on spawning

My boxset, boxset does
My boxset does, me good
My boxset does
My boxset does me
My boxset does me good
QPL don't cares
They do not care
They do not know which tracks are right for me
Does me bad then they hurt me so
They hype us all with rarities
But then we get items we don't need
It's just a piece of crap

We had a good blight coming our way
Greg's full moon was showing and it wasn't great
At QPL they said next morning
"Box set is over", uh uh!

I'll give it a shot. Please sing this to the tune of the song The Miracle.
Greg Brooks told us it was done
But it's not here in '21
Where's The Miracle?
My Baby Does Me, Rain Must Fall,
Party, Breakthru, I Want It All,
Where's The Miracle?
Scandal, Stealin', Khashoggi's Ship
It's not in stock, it does not ship
Where's the Miracle?
We're craving The Miracle box set
Greatest Hits is all that's sold to us
Chinese Torture in surround sound
Or Hang on In There -- new take found
4K, Blu-Ray, DVD
Why's there nothing for TV?
Where's The Miracle?
Where's The Miracle?
Where's The Miracle?
Where's The Miracle?
The one thing we're all waiting for
Is Hijack My Heart, take 34
It's the out takes that we need, The Miracle
The Miracle we're all waiting for today

Well, if there's bugger all "Queen" coming out for 2021, their 50th anniversary, other than the re-re-re-re-release (ad infinitum) of Greatest Hits, I guess The Beatles can have my £110 then for their 6 disc "Let It Be" boxset, with 100 page book rammed with info and interviews (not just a smattering of poxy photos), original album mix, remixed stereo, surround sound Bluray mix and 3 CDs of recording sessions.
Queen ain't NEVER going to top a Beatles release (unless it's on "LESS value for money").
