Last I checked, hope didn't seem to provide much satisfaction.
Then again, that may be better than disappointment.

I have zero expectations when it comes to Queen...so I'm never disappointed.

It's already late Sept, if we hear nothing in the next 2 weeks, it's not happening.

I would really like to see some more or your work!
@admins or moderators@admin
I was spending time on a restored version of the album cover as all the copies on websites have the same picture with a lot of red cast. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it here. You had the tags right before, so not sure why you changed them, but in my opinion, if it's official artwork, and you've just restored it to it's original state, then it's still official artwork, so it shouldn't be posted on here. Sorry. Thanks for the reply! So is it not even allowed to post a link here that will let you look at the restored version here but is hosted on a different website like imgbb?

Not trying to be difficult but I don't see the difference with that and any other image posted on here and hosted externally (which they all have to be anyway). It's still official artwork, and we've removed other official artwork since we strengthened the rules on copyrighted material, so we have to try to be fair and consistent. 🙂

Hope something like this. Nicely done.

Yeah a great philosophy for life, but with Queen with must think like that because they never fail in disappointing people. techincally, they do nothing of the kind. most Queen fans have been conditioned [by QPL] to expect nothing at all, therefore, by default they are not disappointing us at all. by continuing to produce very little, they are actually exceeding our expectations.

But of course they're the exception to the rule.

I highly doubt they will use that cover on the boxset. The cover is regarded as one of the worst of all time on the Internet. If they actually use that one they're officially tone deaf. XD

It's not something you can ignore when fingering through records at your local music shop. I'd say mission accomplished. But yeah, it's the ugly duckling.

Flash Gordon can be discounted as it's not really a Queen LP per se. I agree with you 100% with regard to Hot Space - abysmal Warhol-type parody and utter pile of cr*p, to boot. if ever a "book should be judged by it's cover" then Hot Space is that book. It's not something you can ignore when fingering through records at your local music shop. I'd say mission accomplished. But yeah, it's the ugly duckling. agreed.

Flash Gordon can be discounted as it's not really a Queen LP per se. Flash Gordon absolutely is a Queen LP. might i suggest that you are sure of what you are attempting to correct, in future? in this instance, maybe you check the meaning of per se BEFORE you leap to "correct". FYI per se means "by itself" - and it isn't a Queen album by itself, is it? it wouldn't exist at all - were it not for the movie. it wasn't created as a standalone LP, by itself, in itself, intrinsically or in essence. but for clarity, here you go: it clearly states on the front cover that's it's an Original Soundtrack Recording. therefore: 1. it's really NOT a band LP "by itself". the song creation and track running order were structured around the movie sequences in movie order. the tracks were written for the movie - not the other way around - all being put together expressly for the movie. 2. the very nature of it being a soundtrack LP kind of dictates that the cover artwork/sleeve design might be drawn from the movie graphics/logos.

You're totally right...but it's such a shame that one of the greatest band, if not the greatest, in the history of music, gives so little to the hardcore fans...

15 pages about a boxset that still hasn't been released yet. Quite impressive :-)

Agree on Jazz, disagree on Hot Space. It's pretty iconic too. And I've always considered The Miracle to be one of Queen's "Queenest" covers. If I had to pick a bad cover from Queen's full line-up days, it'd be Sheer Heart Attack. If we count posthumous releases or collaborations, I'd say Queen hasn't got one single live artwork right except maybe for the Wembley DVD and the Tribute gig.

I kinda like the Bowl and Rainbow covers tbh, but the Odeon cover is crap, that's for sure!

I like The Sheer Heart Attack cover, Jazz Isn't so bad. I think the covers Get boring during the 80's with The Works and Magic, Hot Space. Gone were the days of being creative. I do like The Miracle, Innuendo and Made In Heaven I love.

I do like The Miracle, Innuendo and Made In Heaven I love. I don't think you can really call the 'A Kind Of Magic' cover boring. It may not be your cup of tea, but boring it is not, it is actually very creative. To a lesser extent this also counts for 'Hot Space'. 'The Works' indeed is quite boring, just a group photo. Same can be said about 'The Game'. (And yes, 'Flash Gordon' is boring too, but for a soundtrack it is OK and recognizable)
