Then again, that's exactly the type of "monkey's paw" situation that one should expect from QPL. I personally think the 2005 5.1 remixes suck raw ass, so I'd be very happy to hear a more modern approach. Not many notice, but the actual mastering of ANATO's '75 mix has some objective issues that could definitely use some ironing out. I'm nowhere near an expert as you are for sure, but when I split ANATO's 5.1 remix I was able to hear a lot of tracks more separately much better. Easiest example being '39 where you can hear Brian's split higher and lower vocal harmonies towards the end. I only got slightly similar effect with the Game (it wasn't as clean but still OK). The GVH ones were very much less so. The latest TNCD one - sounds nice but I couldn't really hear separate tracks. The ANATO 5.1 remix is super inaccurate, with missing harmonies, effects, some outtakes were accidentally put into Bohemian Rhapsody, etc. I'd be able to put inaccuracies aside if the actual mix was good, but it's straight up ass in my opinion. |

I recall there being one or two instances in '39 where it sounds like Brian re-recorded his lines? It was pretty jarring from memory. I downmixed the 5.1 albums a while ago for fun and the 2002 ANATO mix was the most listenable for me overall! I thought some parts sounded quite good. It wasn't brick-walled to an absurd level and the 2005 one sounded muddier for some reason. The Game, sadly not a patch on the original mix. Sounds to me like full-on compression was involved. The Hot Space tracks on GVH 2 had some good moments in my opinion! I remember Calling All Girls sounding fresh. Killer Queen on GVH 1 was interesting as well! I could be forgetting a few others. But yeah, overall, they'd be capable of getting a much more accurate result with today's technology (although I don't trust that they wouldn't apply pitch correction). May just be my opinion, but I'd take Brian's modern overdubs over pitch correction. At least you'd know they're real... |

2025 year for ANATO,MiH and Freddie Mercury Mr Bad Guy .
I doubt that they can add something lost for MIH.
In 2019 was reissued Mr Bad Guy I also doubt that they will be do something with it.
ANATO. I don't know what they can add. Except for a dvd with performances in Hyde Park, Earls Court.

I hear you, and I mostly agree but it's not a 100% sound rule. 2011 - Queen 40th anniversary discography reissue + Stormtroopers in Stillettos exhibit + Days Of Our Lives documentary 2014 - Live at the Rainbow 40th 2015 - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 40th 2017 - News Of The World 40th Boxset + American Dream and Rock The World Documentaries + QAL adding Frank visuals, Spread Your Wings, It's Late, and Get Down, Make Love It's inconsistent. The Miracle and Queen I weren't on their anniversaries, but those 4 were. I wouldn't rule out anything 100%. When we're literally just discussing hypothetical situations for fun, there's nothing wrong with using anniversaries as ATLEAST a launching point. |

Well ANATO songs also were on Earls Court ANATO songs were on every tour after ANATO, so that doesn't really make sense. I will say that Earls Court has the advantage of having the only filmed versions of the full Death On Two Legs. That said, Hyde Park has the only pro-shot footage of The Prophet's Song in full, the debut tour for '39, and the only pro-shot footage of Sweet Lady (unless it was played at second Earls Court.) Hyde Park would make a lot more sense for an Opera release, but I would much rather get an Earls Court release in general lol, that's a far better show + we have very little from the second night. |

I do wonder if The Miracle was originally penned in for 2019 and Q1 for 2023 but the Miracle got held up for some reason pre Covid and I have a feeling Covid cast its shadow over Q1. Lets not forget that original release of The Miracle in 1989 was a lot later then originally planned too. |

News of the World is perhaps the only album that was lucky enough to see a box set release exactly in the year of its release. Then, for reasons beyond Quinn's control, everything didn't go according to plan, if there was such a plan, of course. |

Lets not forget that original release of The Miracle in 1989 was a lot later then originally planned too. My theory was that they wanted to turn Face It Alone from a demo into an actual full song single for promotional reasons, which delayed the boxset. Then, COVID delayed that.Again, that's just my theory, because I seriously can't think of another reason for the delay. We KNOW that the boxset was done ready to go by then, so its intended release date was probably the 40th anniversary. |

The ANATO 5.1 remix is super inaccurate, with missing harmonies, effects, some outtakes were accidentally put into Bohemian Rhapsody, etc. I'd be able to put inaccuracies aside if the actual mix was good, but it's straight up ass in my opinion. Are we talking about the commonly available 2002 version, or the harder to find withdrawn 2001 mix that really sounds like ass in comparison? (I've got that one) |

Instrumental Version (Backing Track - w/o Backing Vocals) 14. Live Version from 'The Tube' Vinyl #1: Same as CD, but on 180g audiophile black vinyl Vinyl #2: Same as CD, but a picture disc version Original 1986 12" Maxi Single Replica BluRay #1: 1. Biggles Movie 2. Biggles Movie TV Trailer #1 3. Biggles Movie TV Trailer #2 4. Video Clip upscaled to 4K 5. Video Clip (Behind The Scenes) 6. Interview to band members 7. 'No Turnin' Back Tour' 1986: A Retrospective 8.

You thought about that way too much, and then forgot the cassette and QOL limited signed card that will be on eBay for £400 because by the time the Queen newsletter arrives in your e-mails, the £19.99 offer has sold out. |

Someone needs to send this link to QPL: superdeluxeedition.com/news/bob-dylan-and-the-band-the-1974-live-recordings27 discs of live shows from 1974, most of it previously unreleased. Bobzilla fans are no doubt tickled pink - this was a great period for him, leading the way to Blood on the Tracks. Much of it is from stereo soundboards. Imagine if Queen did this for 1974-78. We know they recorded a ton of their gigs. But at least they're starting to open that vault, so we'll see. |

This would in no way obstruct the more commercial live releases they will probably do at some point (stuff like Earls Court, Live Killers stuff, Rio '85 or Knebworth). That said, from years like 1977 or 1979 they can probably also make very big 27 disc sets! It'd be a dream come true for me. Heaven on earth 😍 |

the next boxset, for me and just me, should be or could be “the game” for the 45 years or, I hope, “innuendo” for the 35 years. these two, Ithink, are the only with a surplus of unrealased tracks. 🤞

That kinda sucks. Jazz could definitely benefit from a remix imo.
