Has the rumour machine now become a snake eating its own tail? From Facebook: Looks like the Queen I box set might be closer than we think. We would have a final tentative date for this year, as well as the one for The Miracle. This box set will include a new mix made by Brian May, Roger Taylor and the original producer of the record John Anthony, who for several months had said on his private Facebook that he was working with the two of them as well as recording an interview. The YouTube channel Queen Review states that a person from Universal Spain has told him that this set box is a reality even though it seems that it won't have much unreleased material. It would include: Queen I (2011 remaster) Queen I (2024 mix/remaster en Dolby Atmos) Demos / Raw Mixes of Songs The De Lea Lane Demos (Out in 2011) Instrumental Some tracks from Rainbow ‘7 Some issues from Live At BBC Possibly a DVD/Blue Ray with this material including promo videos from the time A book as always —— Special request Mad The Swine original version (This song came out as the B side of Headlong as an unreleased track but apparently there is a different version) Hangman (A track they played live but doesn't exist in studio version) - Here they could use AI like Peter Jackson's and make it sound like it was studio- - Apparently a fan claims to have an original acetate of the song recorded in studio - (We repeat, thanks to the Queen Review channel on YouTube for the information) That post is related to the info that I give you here a few days ago He simply summarized all the rumors that we write over the course of 19 pages. |

All of a sudden rumour is presented as fact with words like "final tentative", which to me sounds a lot like "possibly certain". |

Any Queen fan with even the remotest knowledge of a "studio Hangman rumour" would already be aware of John's death, surely? |

If it's not too much trouble, remind me when the release date of the Miracle album box set was officially announced? Although I'm probably asking in vain, since there is a tradition of announcing something to celebrate Freddie Mercury's birthday, but suddenly two years ago everything was different. |

Believe me, if I sell a washing machine to a customer and they don't like it, they will complain, a lot. So this is the same, friend In my particular case, I tend to be benevolent with Queen releases and I have made it clear, what I have on my shelf is: * The entire discography on CD of Queen, Queen + Paul Rodgers, Freddie, Brian, RMT and The Cross. * The entire vinyl discography of Queen, Queen + Paul Rodgers, Freddie, Brian, RMT (except "Happiness?"), The Cross and... The immortals. * A few original singles, both on CD and vinyl by Queen, Brian, Freddie, Roger and The Cross. * All Queen VHS and some of Freddie. * All Queen DVDs / Blurays and some of Freddie. * All Queen album-books. * All Queen, Brian and RMT boxes. * Approximately 10 books that have to do with Queen. I don't have a duplicate discography (except for the discobooks). I also don't have the Freddie box set that was released in the 90s, nor the Queen singles box set, nor anything that Adam Lambert was involved in. Still, I think Queen has already released a lot of stuff since 1991. In fact, many are complaining that the Queen I box set will include the BBC and De Lane sessions... that means it's already edited before, then you can come to the conclusion that Queen has edited things that are worthwhile. Finally, I don't like everything that Queen puts on the market because I'm not a fan or a fool, but when they release something good, I try to value it appropriately. I try to enjoy what I have. Kind regards. |

I'm no hater at all, in fact, usually they are quite fun to watch, but -please don't take the piss on it-, unnaccurate at times. And YES, you did complain a lot. Is it bad? Nopes. Besides that, I'm a collector like some of the good old folks in Queenchat, and I'm nowhere happy with Queen Productions. Personally, I think the speculation -in a bad way, with negative point of view-, is bad for the Queen fandom, specially the younger ones. Take these words only as my personal perspective, and don't take it personally...I'm not trying to insult you by any means. |

Of course, not problem mate. But, in the case of this Queen I box set, the info came directly from Paco Salazar, that is one of the most popular musical producers here in Spain (and a good friend of mine). And obvously, he works with the record companies, and one of his best friends is a big boss here in Spain on Universal, so I asked him about it. On that video, I first give all the info that he tells me, and the rest is just my speculations about what can it came on that box

The Chinese whispers of speculation is both fascinating and frustrating.
Person A states that they're speculating wildly.
Person B re-states, adding a little of their own speculation and doesn't mention either their "source" or the degree of speculation.
Person C finds both statements separately, treats them as independent sources and posts them somewhere as a strong likelihood, perhaps with a sprinkle of their own speculation.
Persons D-Z aren't engaged enough to realise what's going on, and are then disappointed when nothing actually happens.

With all the things discussed on here, this is what I predict the box set will consist of (but I'll probably be wrong!):
Disc 1 - vinyl of original cut (including Mad The Swine) OR New 2024 Mix
Disc 2 - 2011 Remaster CD
Disc 3 - 2024 Mix CD
Disc 4 - Queen Sessions CD (outtakes, alternative versions and unreleased tracks incl. Polar Bear, no comment on Hangman)
Disc 5 - Bonus Tracks CD (such as Mad The Swine, Liar single edit??, KYA retake??, De Lane Lea, BBC Sessions, Live at the Rainbow tracks)
Disc 6 - Instrumentals and Backing Tracks of original album CD (I'll be surprised but it happened with The Miracle box set)
Disc 7 - Promo Videos + Documentary Feature with Brian, Roger and John Anthony?? DVD
Disc 8 - Promo Videos + Documentary Feature with Brian, Roger and John Anthony?? Blu-Ray
Like I say this is a guess, I've based it on both NOTW and Miracle box set plus the rumours that have been said over in the past few months.

I just checked the official Queen youtube channel, and yeah, KYA and Liar are not listed on the channel... so another evidence that something is coming (let's hope...) |

Don't have any grudges at me if I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if there's an official announcement this week. I'd say keep an eye out in your email inboxes Thursday afternoon...
Queen press releases are usually in the afternoon and it wouldn't be the first time they've announced something on a Thursday nor on Freddie's birthday.

"Disc 3 - 2024 Mix CD"I understand that this is your assumption, but if you think sensibly, it would be stupid to do this in a box set, although......... Disc 4 - Queen Sessions CD (outtakes, alternative versions and unreleased tracks incl. Polar Bear, no comment on Hangman) Why do you all dislike Hangman so much? |

It's strange that they didn't choose a single to advertise the Queen I box set. This could mean that there won't be anything interesting.

I think it's still too early to have news about the box set. Taking into account that Queen releases are generally in November, in the case of The Miracle box, it was announced on October 13, and was accompanied by the announcement of the single, also responding to airpodsmax. It is very likely that we will still have to wait a little longer, and the announcement will be accompanied by the single in question. Likewise, I hope we have an announcement tomorrow, but I doubt it.

I said the 2011 Remaster too as I think it happened with a recent box set from another band. I can't remember which one though. Inevitably there will be some people who rather the 2011 Remaster so... I don't hate Hangman, I just think it isn't as likely that it will be included unlike Polar Bear. I just don't know why it's always been hiss-hiss in regards to it's existence. It could several factors such as being a rough recording or controversial lyrical content. But that's just my opinion, I just don't want to say it will be included, in case it isn't. It's now or never. |

It is very likely that we will still have to wait a little longer, and the announcement will be accompanied by the single in question. Likewise, I hope we have an announcement tomorrow, but I doubt it. It depends on the content in the box and none of us really know. We'd like to think it would be like The Miracle box set, a new single etc. But that was said for months prior (there being a new song). We've had nothing this time. Admittedly Brian and Roger were touring two years ago so did more interviews etc. But I believe there will be more in common with the News Of The World box set. Interestingly it was announced on Monday 4th September and wasn't released until Friday 17th November: queenonline.com/news/press-release-news-of-the-world-40th-anniversary-edition?prev_filter=09-2017. Queen releases seem to be in November so there isn't really any consistency in time from press releases to release date. There always seems to be six weeks, but I'd say the norm in the music world is about 8 weeks or 2 months. And the fact that Keep Yourself Alive and Liar videos have been made private to me suggest an imminent announcement, why would they take down two of their music videos for no reason for more than a day? |

I doubt that the album will get a new remaster. But if John Anthony was involved, then most likely the album will get a half-remaster. That is, some tracks will be as 2011 remaster, and some tracks will be as 2024. I understand that sounds like complete nonsense, but then why would they involve John Anthony.

What single do you think will be used to advertise the box set? The choice is between Polar Bear, Crazy Pig, Hangman, or keep yourself alive in a new arrangement or Liar. I know it wasn't a single but the Freddie version of All Dead, All Dead was the song that got played on BBC Radio 2 prior to the box set being released. I think it will have to be something that will be unique or appeal to the masses. To me Polar Bear seems a lot more suitable to radio than Hangman, or even new arrangements of Keep Yourself Alive and Liar. I wouldn't rule out Doing All Right as well. Maybe they attempted a version with no piano or tried sharing vocals like the two Smile versions. I'm not sure there will be a proper single to promote this, maybe simply a couple of the new songs for people to listen to to entice them into buying the box set. |
