In an attempt to reduce the instance of some of you desperately clinging to whatever year it is / going to be, as a reason for any given reissue to be likely / inevitable - I present the following.
1998 The Crown Jewels
2000 Freddie Mercury Solo Collection
2001 A Night At The Opera DVD-A
2002 Greatest Flix DVD
2003 Greatest Flix 2 DVD
2003 Live At Wembley DVD
2003 The Game DVD-A
2004 Live At The Bowl
2007 Rock Montreal & Live Aid
2012 Barcelona Orchestral
2012 Hungarian Rhapsody
2013 The Lot
2014 Queen Forever
2014 Live At The Rainbow
2015 A Night At The Odeon
2016 On Air
2017 News Of The World
2021 Back To The Light
2022 Another World
2022 The Miracle
2023 Star Fleet
Twenty reissues, four of which lined up with any kind of anniversary.
Twenty five years, four of which had an anniversary release.
This is not a band that can be relied upon to work on an anniversary release basis.

In all seriousness, there was also the 30th anniversary edition of ANATO in 2005.

I could be wrong, but I think it was a different 5.1 mix to the DVD-A, of which itself there were two different mixes. So we've had three different 5.1 mixes of one album, yet QII and ADATR, both begging for surround mixes, have never been touched (other than the tracks on GVH1). |

So we've had three different 5.1 mixes of one album Can anyone tell them apart? There are definitely differences, but don't ask me to list them. The 'clickety click' with the drumsticks at the end of Seaside Rendezvous is definitely more pronounced on the DVD-A, and there will be other nuances that I'm sure someone with time on their hands could compare and share (in writing). I've not heard the 'black' DVD-A, which I think was withdrawn soon after release, but I don't think it's exactly a rarity on the scale of the blue Bo Rhap single. |

Thank you. For the record, this is not designed to be a complete discography. RTs best of is a single disc "highlights" of The Lot, with no additional archive content. I didn't include GH3 or the Platinum Collection either... |

One big difference with the various DVD-A’s is the original GSTQ 5.1 mix was only upmixed from the stereo master…. For the later pressing/releases the multitrack was located and a proper remix was done.
