Oh good grief, when will Anton ever figure it out that the fandom doesn’t want him involved... I should say, we have no evidence this was that Anton. Maybe just an inkling...

Personally don't understand the enthusiasm for this. Whilst understanding that everyone's tastes are different, The Miracle features more bad songs than any Queen album. No one in their right mind would call it a classic Queen album, and it broke zero ground. Well, you know, AKOM was my first Queen album which meant that TM was the next eagerly awaited "new" Queen album for me (after nearly 3 years of discovering everything else incl Roger & Freddie's solo albums), and it didn't let me down. It didn't need to break any ground - it just had to be the almighty Queen rocking away, giving it all they've got. I put my hearing problems down to listening to this everyday at full blast on my cassette walkman whilst In was out and on my record player when I was in, for nearly 3 months solid. It was all I listened to during that time. That's how good an album it is. Innuendo was a let down in comparison. But as you say, everyone's tastes are different.

I’m with Brian’s Wig on this one. I got into Queen via my parents cassette copy of Greatest Hits and then went forward through their catalogue first and then back through their 70’s output. I remember being exposed to the Miracle for the first time at high school. I played it to absolute death, loved it to bits and I’m still really fond of it. I loved the songs, the videos, the album cover, the artwork for the singles etc. I can’t wait for this release.

Nobody in their right mind? It's totally subjective. I quite like The Miracle. It's not Queen II, but it has some enjoyable stuff on it. I remember I nearly creamed myself when I first got hold of the demos about 20-ish years ago, so I'm looking forward to this. I'm just hoping that it's not butchered or Frankensteined, and that it's a proper set full of the all the rarities.

I don't know, if any other observed and posted previously, I just checked the recent news over past few days, there is this one about the miracle, www.queenonline.com/news/see-22-3-89The well known picture of tape with TMLWKY stating the day with comment 33 and a third years ago today.. So I concluded that 33 1/3 is the LP. For sure they are going to give us the album on vinyl, as it was to be with TMLWKY.

When can count on an announcement? What do you all think? Here is a copy of the clouds on blue sky image used for the album cover. Anyone able to find the source picture? It was shown in the making of of the album cover but unfortunately I did not find the source via Google.
Here is the video:

It's just too silent now for being not far away from hearing unreleased Queen material. I am really excited about it. Must be silence before the storm then...

I think the first announcement we’ll hear is the new unheard single. They will run a fanfare around that. Afterwards they’ll announce the boxset track listing.

Must be silence before the storm then... well, it's hard to second-guess QPL - as down the years, they've take just about every possible option when it comes to alleged new releases ♦ big fanfare ♦ surprise last-minute announcement ♦ no announcement at all ♦ no actual release materialised sometimes, multiples of the above co-existed for the same "releases". credit where its due: QPL are masters of misdirection

My money is on a big single and album announcement in one. If the single is due in September, it's got to come within the next couple of weeks.

In September 2014, the week after Live At The Rainbow '74 was released, BBC Radio 2 and Chris Evans kept teasing about three worldwide exclusives form Queen on Friday 19th. (It was the day that the Scottish Referendum results were announced.) I remember waking up that morning and seeing that Queen Forever was already announced, or at least on Amazon, and from 8am on Radio 2 that they were playing the new songs track by track.
What I reckon is, they'll announce the Miracle boxset the same day Radio 2 will get to play Face It Alone in public for the first time. It sounds like there is only the one "complete" new song though but I can't imagine it being too different.
What week of September I'm not sure, it depends whether they'll want to announce it on Freddie's birthday or leave it until a Friday.

At this point, there's a chance they'll wait for this year's convention on Freddie's birthday (around September 5th). I mean, most people are on holidays these days and it only makes sense to sit on it while everyone's away.
That said, expect leaks any day now.

It is bound to be released at the end of October or early November as usual - so folks will buy it as Christmas Presents. Greg Brooks will want to play the unheard tracks at convention as part of his Archive Session before it's released. So announcement will be end of August, beginning of September.

Hello there! I wonder how much FIA will change compared to the version that we have been listening to since 2011.

When FIA was originally played at the convention was it discussed at any length? Was mention made to how many takes there were? I only know the demos I’ve heard, I don’t know how many other takes and sets of lyrics may exist. With any luck we might be pleasantly surprised

With any luck we might be pleasantly surprised Don't know anything about the number of takes, but I'm almost sure that I've heard it was shelved during Miracle era and reworked for Innuendo at some point.

We definitely know about the existence of 3rd take, but how many of them are not known exactly.

1. Dog with a bone 2. Stealin' 12 mins 3. Face it alone 4. I guess we're falling out 5. My baby loves me. 6. New life is born I hope I haven't forgotten anything. These tracks have been removed from YouTube. Is this a sign that we will soon hear them in the box set.
