There seems to be basically no info on the album and I'm wondering what it was.
I know it was planned for 1990, apparently it was supposed to have 11 tracks and Freddie specifically said it would have material recorded for it. Based on that I feel like it could be a few things:
1) A compilation of singles and b sides like the cd on the collector's edition - which does have 11 tracks. 2) Alternate mixes or takes of The Miracle, including TMLWKY. 3) Just a completely different take on The Miracle, with songs like Face it Alone, Grand Dame (possibly Rock Jam) and Affairs (Stay Tonight, Let's Go, or Now it's Over) being meant for the album and recorded for this project rather than Innuendo. I know Roger especially disliked The Miracle and it seems to have gone in a lot of different directions throughout its development.
Anybody got any more info?

As far as I know it was option 1 - I think that was also reported by the fanclub at the time. Apparently it got shelved because the band immediately got in the studio to record Innuendo after The Miracle was done.

Yeah just to confirm it was exactly the same tracklisting as the "Alternative Miracle" disc in the box set. Nothing that special but just nice having all the alternative versions in the same place.

That one does make the most sense, but it seems odd that it was dropped with how little involvement it would have needed from the band.

I remember the fan club magazine talking about it being option 1. If Roger dislikes the album…that opinion may be shaped on the opening tracks having a drum machine. I can see how they may have done that for the Invisible Man, but those 2 openers are meant to have a live rockier feel.
