I have a hazy memory of Kes, a mod over on QOL, saying that things like All God’s People and Too Much Love were “probably” being considered for the release. But that was a long time ago (mid-2000s) and that was before the forum’s, like, fifth server failure, so I’m afraid I can’t corroborate my own story.
I wonder if Alternative Miracle was suggested (by the band I’m sure, as Jacky Smith, by her own admission, had no idea Freddie was sick) as a “clearing house” activity in the event that Freddie didn’t make it through the Innuendo sessions…

Look at the Pink Floyd, look at The Beatles... a lot of alternates to chose from for the buyer. Though that being said, The Beatles are dropping the ball a bit by not including a 5.1 mix with the upcoming Revolver boxset  There is a Dolby Atmos mix that was announced. This is surround and my guess is that the usual DTS/5.1 will be included as well |

This is surround and my guess is that the usual DTS/5.1 will be included as well From superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-beatles-revolver-box-sets-official-details-and-pre-order-links/: "Controversially, there is no blu-ray with the CD box set. Every Beatles CD box set since the album reissues started back in 2017, has contained a blu-ray with a spatial audio mix (Sgt. Pepper actually had a blu-ray and a DVD) so to omit this from Revolver is a truly bizarre decision. An Atmos Mix has been created but it is simply not being made available physically, which is going to disappoint many fans. No blu-ray also denies us a hi-res stereo version of the new mix on a physical format."
So it will not be included physically. And by the looks of it it will only be available through streaming services...

Guns N' Roses are charging about £280 for the CD set Of Use Your Illusion 1&2 and £450 for the LPs in the UK.
That's incredible pricing.
Are Queen going to match that sort of price?
I was thinking £100 for the Miracle box would sort of be ok if I don't look at y credit card statement. I can see it coming out at a lot more though

I can see it coming out at a lot more though I seem to recall the News of the World box set was just over £100. I think I paid £106 for mine, which I thought was incredibly expensive for the single CD that I actually wanted. |

I paid £95 apparently from Amazon.
If I had wanted to pay more I would have bought it from the official store....
£100 is a lot for a single album set no matter who the group and how many actual discs there are.
You could do a 4CD set of The Miracle with everything on it for £20-30. I suppose there is no fun in that though.
There are going to be a lot of unsold box sets this winter with this sort of pricing

"feasible"
LOL, I remember that, basically why go an extra mile for their loyal fans, they never have.
Look at all the BM boxsets, could easily have added live concerts for each period.........

That's a shit idea. Well, I guess I can save me some money. There's no way I would buy a digital Atmos mix. |

Here's an update from the Spring 1990 fanclub magazine. Thanks for this much needed update! Finally, some closure 32 years later. And at this rate, watch me wait another 32 years for the box set! |

I was just fooling around on the web, while I visited the QOL forum, I am rarely visiting this forum, I almost forgot that is still exist.
Anyway, I found this post,

This is my question to Greg Brooks.
Hello, Greg, There are 8 days left until the end of September, and we still haven't heard Face it alone. Can you tell me what the delay in the release of this track is related to?
This is his answer
No because it’s not up to me. That’s the band’s business. There isn’t a delay. There is a plan that has been organised and there will be a press release in due course.
Greg is not the the best source, but he is near the Queen productions.

I would suggest that 'TheMiracleMan' might not be the best source either. He was on here several times under different user names ('was', being the operative word), spouting lots of unfounded and unverified speculation, much of it very similar to his posts on QOL, and we believe he also used to inhabit QZ. Honestly, no one knows when this is going to be released except the band and the record company. We just need to wait for the official announcement. |

...and let's face it:
GB's reply (such as it was) if it was even his reply, was as non-committal and nebulous as ever
in due course means at the appropriate time
that means nothing.

Jacky said that on the OIQFC, Greg Brooks will put an exclusive thing that it will arrive soon. Probably Face It Alone?

Hi everyone, Jacky here! I know Cheryl is preparing a letter for your all in good old plain language to explain what you have to do about getting your refunds etc. It's a situation none of us could force, and luckily, our wonderful Arena team still have jobs, and the convention is still on!!
But ANYWAY.... I have great news! We have permission to “premiere” some NEW product at the convention! I’m afraid I can’t tell you excatly what at the moment… but it’s quite exciting!! Greg Brooks will be with us to discuss this, and much more, as will Simon Lupton with some other little surprises!
Also, we will be playing some of Rogers brilliant new LIVE album, and he has not only agreed to sign a bunch of copies for us to use as raffle/auction prizes, but will also do a message for us to show too... and as you well know, he's not ALWAYS good at messages!! But we love him just the same!!
So all YOU need to do is BE THERE and we can get this party STARTED!! See you soon!!!

It's obvious that at the time of the quotes, it was going to go out in September. Sometime between now and then it got pushed back a few weeks (probably). I'm not that concerned. I would be very surprised if we don't get Face it Alone by November. It appears to be a part of the boxset which if it is coming out would most assuredly be released in time for the Christmas season. A little patience is all that is needed....and as a longtime Queen fan who knows how many releases have gotten scuttled etc., I feel very confident that by Christmas we will have Face it Alone and a Miracle Box set which some people will hate because there isn't enough unheard material on it while some will dig it and be mostly happy to get anything new.

Yesterday the fan club advised that there would be some premieres, not explicit about what will be premiered, at the fan club convention and that also Simon Lupton would be there, interesting. So I think that probably means November most likely delayed due to production problems.

The box set is probably complete since about a year ago. |

So I think that probably means November most likely delayed due to production problems. What makes you think that? Greg tends to take full advantage of convention to premiere tracks from upcoming boxsets and album releases. I had (and still have), NO doubt in my mind, that the Miracle Set was always set for a November release. |

Perhaps it was indeed always to be November. Hopefully we will hear something from the QFC convention. |

Any day now!
8 discs? Even if it's a double LP and DVD and/or Blu-ray + album remaster (new or not), it's no less than 3 CDs worth of extras. Raw sessions, outtakes/demos and instrumentals? Interviews too.
