Any info on The Miracle Box Set

Did you have Face it alone?

That is good news, I mean that, there is a big possibility all these unreleased songs to be included.

I don't remember about Rivers of words.

Yes that snippet couldn't be more 'Alone' if it tried.

I swear The Miracle is the most plagiaristic (is that a word? It is now) of Queen LPs/eras. Breakthru, Rain Must Fall are at their core direct take offs of Boys of Summer and Young Hearts Run Free. Invisible Man is often compared to Ghostbusters.. and the much loved riff for Was It All Worth It poaches the theme from the Guns of Navarone. Even the Scandal riff I was originally convinced I'd already heard, but still can't remember where.

If you strip out the 'recycled' bits, only Party/Khashoggi's as an intro, IWIA as a complete song and a few isolated moments from a few other songs really do it for me on this record. (Hang On In There is great though.)

Then again if I hear The Miracle album in one go on a Spring day, it always cheers me up, with memories of 1989 when I was 16 and and beginning a gorgeous long summer with time and energy to burn, and pretty much zero worries. What you gonna do? (Other than spend £150 on a box set, I mean).

Release Date will be 07.10.2022

I also found this info on korean e-shop yes24.com. I don't know how reliable this shop is though.

Doesn't seem reliable to me, because, I think, QPL would've added demos for all songs from the album on CD2; Party and WIAWI are missing.
Also, Greg Brooks showed unseen Freddie cam footage from the IWIA promo on the 2020 convention. I am doubting that it ain't going to be included, alongside more alt angles/behind the scenes footage.

Maybe because this is still all speculation and rumour? I think there will be more of a reaction once an official announcement is made. I don't see why QPL would release detailed information to this particular website, and nobody else, so whilst it might be partially accurate, personally, I don't look at this as anything more than supposition.

We had read that already. Some of that info seems like baseless speculation and some descriptions can't possibly be real (they would not specify whether a demo was played at a convention).

I'm expecting something along the lines of "raw sessions", as in alternative versions comprised of several outtakes edited together. We should get a new track or two as well, and by that I mean something never released or leaked before, even if it's very little.

It wouldn't be QPL that released the tracklisting to that website, it's the distributer giving the information over early ahead of the release which would be embargoed until a certain date. It's usually these type of sites that accidentally publish it early. However, I agree with all the scepticism. The descriptions are odd, even for Queen.

The only thing that makes me think it is real is Disc 3. For absolutely no fathomable reason, only QPL would sequence the respective A side mixes and respective B sides out of order

That list that was leaked for CD2 only has songs and versions we already know and were leaked for demo casettes atc. If they have gone through the archives, dont you think there should be at least a few surprises? Thats what makes me think it is not real.

I'll vouch for this.  It happens in the book industry all the time - amazon frequently has books that haven't officially been solicited whose contents and write-ups change as dates get closer.

Just forgot to mention: "The Miracle" was released 33 years ago last Sunday (May 22). Missed opportunity or imminent announcement?

Because we're humans who feel emotions and we can't but help project that onto inanimate objects. So it's fun to think of these albums as our friends who have birthdays which should be celebrated. In short, it's just nice.

A bleak, but probably accurate speculation, should they tour again, but I would guess something on the scale of the Rhapsody tour is perhaps unlikely to be repeated.
