I agree that Queen II and Jazz need a remix, but, except for those two albums, I wouldn't remix any other albums either. Without going any further, the sound of Sheer Heart Attack seems great to me.

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. 🤞 Innuendo song session alone is a worth to be released. Those who attended the townhouse studio in 2017 were very impressed. Despite I don't like the album Hot Space, according to the press release of Forever (TMBMTLTT 1981) and the Brian's 1982 interview shared in this discussion forum. Hot Space must have the most interesting material very different from what Queen released in 1982 and also lot of unreleased stuff, including jamming with David Bowie. But first Queen II remix with bonus unreleased stuff.

I’d assume the actual answer is because they might give it a surround mix.

I would actually like to see the boys do a reimagined version of Hot Space. Drop the drum machines or update them. Some 80’s music dates really well with synths and drum machines, Hot Space sadly doesn’t. It feels really dated and it wasn’t even well received at the time. They really just missed the mark, and I do like the album. When I first got into Queen 30+ years ago I played Hot Space to death. I think there are good songs on there that are poorly executed/produced. Freddie’s vocals are great on that album. I would like to hear how Brian and Roger would have preferred it to sound. Maybe there are some decent raw takes that feature real drums, piano, base and guitar? I loved hearing Football Fight and The Kiss in their raw early states. Another cool idea I’ve thought about over the years is to let some other artists interpret the album. There’s an awesome live version of Staying Power by Extreme on YouTube as an example.

Why most people want to remix Queen II? Because the mix doesn't hold up well. C_Matt did an EXCELLENT job with Queen II years ago without even having the multitracks, so a remix with the resources of the true multitrack would be amazing.

One big thing of Queen II is the drums (mainly toms) distort badly as they were bounced down like that (unintentionally). If QPL have the early multitracks before bouncing (like The Beatles have) then the mix will really clean up. There'll be other benefits too... including a Dolby Atmos mix if the multitracks are available. I'm 100% behind having Queen II remixed.

I heard it back on the day and love it. Even more, I personally told him that when we met a few years ago.

Queen II box set, or a ANATO box set will be welcomed to me.
Queen II sounds much better with C Matt's Revision, and with for me they will do the same thing that they did in Queen I album... so for this i wanted the bonus CDs, the takes, rough tracks, demos, takes from BBC, maybe a version of Brighton Rock, i readed in some place that this song maybe was concepted for this album but they not finished. The live material will be curious, or not, of course a lot of things os Rainbow but we can take some hope felling with something from a concert never heard before.
For ANATO, i think they will do the same, but with some surprise equals "You Know You Belong to Me" & "Water" in The Miracle Box... maybe they have a lote of demo tapes like first version of I'm in Love with my car, or the guitar process of Good Company, or the takes from Psycho Legs, some curious things i think.

In 2024 they reissue Rock Montreal and Queen boxset is about to come.
I am hoping for Queen II and ANATO in 2025 not holding my breath.
C-mat Queen II revision was an improvement,specialy in bass and drums sound, considering he hasn't access to multitracks, he did great job. One thing I don't like is the way of backing vocals in his mix, they lost their dynamic and their place.
I am thinking that, Sony records might not want boxsets like ANATO to be released under EMI-Universal. They are waiting for Queen's contract to expire, in order to have full product under their company.

In termns of mixing; Queen II is miles better than Queen. Also, the 2011 remaster was probably the best improvement of all the albums.
What Queen II needs is a surround mix, which would open up the amount of tracks filled with all kinds of brilliant details. Sadly, they don't seem to bother.
(I just remembered that Queen I will have a digital only atmos mix? Curious to see a review there...)
What I find strange is that if the drum sound was the number 1 reason to remix the debut album - they should have done the same thing on The Miracle, and at a future point; on Innuendo. Fake (and bad!) drum tracks are too heavily featured on both albums..
