They may have loved the music on that album, but that doesn't mean they were happy with the mix. The fact Brian specifically said he thinks Queen II could do with a remix is the most proof that you could get of that. He also said that The Miracle was remixed in the SDE.
I'd be interested only in sourround/atmos mixes of every Queen album, not remixes to tweak things from 50 years ago. Also, just read this thread...the band decides to remix an album and the hate was instant, even without hearing a single note. Hehehe. Let's pray to hear NEW things, not to revisit forever.
Of course, IMO.
Tomorrow, let's celebrate the milestone of the new Boxed set. I'm very happy with that.

The A Night at the Opera tour ran between November 1975 and April 1976. Does anyone have any information regarding the existence of video footage of this stage? (excluding, obviously, the concert on 12/24/1975). Unfortunately December 24th is the only pro-shot concert of the ANATO Tour. |

Can you imagine what would be the price for a combined ANATO & ADATR box set? If the Queen 1 is going for £150-200 mark, it could be well north of £300! That would sort out the men from the boys collector wise. |

(excluding, obviously, the concert on 12/24/1975). There's a bit of video from the Beacon Theatre gigs in New York - pro shot bits of soundcheck, and one super 8 reel. That's it, unless you count the TV interview from Australia. There was once a rumour of concert footage of one of the Australia gigs, but it was never substantiated. |

If they do put together a Queen II box, I hope they include the stand-alone version of "Funny How Love Is".
Always wanted that, but the Japanese CD with it on seems pretty much impossible to find.

Even that isn't true stand-alone as it contains the last chord of MOTBQ (without the Ahhhh) in the intro. |

Tbh I’d be quite happy to get stand-alone mixes of every track on the album. I can see how some people would probably be against that for ruining the intended flow of the record, but it’d sure make it a lot easier to slot them into my playlists! Still not forgiven them for passing up the opportunity to separate out the “Tenement Funster” medley on Deep Cuts I… |

I’d love to try and track this CD down. Can anyone point out this Japanese CD for me please? Seems to be a lot listed on discogs. |

This would appear to be it: www.discogs.com/release/4984579-Queen-Seven-Seas-Of-RhyeBut if you just want to hear it, it's on YouTube: |

Agreed that it'd be a shame if they stop at Queen II, I definitely feel some of their other albums could benefit from a remix.

My dream is that they release the full Budokan 1975 show as an anniversary release. We would finally see footage of GKR Hangman And SWAFIB. But i know it's only a dream since i doubt the show will ever be released.  |

I'm pretty sure there's no soundboard audio considering the 5/1/75 inclusion on 2015's A Night At The Odeon used the broadcast camera audio. I don't think 5/1 would be a contender for a release if that's the case. Though I do agree, that's my number 1 most wanted official release. |

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. There are 7 good reasons to put out a Hot Space box set: 1. Bowie 2. Bowie 3. Bowie 4. As no one gives a stuff about this album they are free to go to town on it. I’m more than happy for either a complete re-build, or outside producer remixes. Call it “Cold Space” if they want to. 5. They have videos, which means they have outtakes. 6. The tour was really good. Yes, it’ll be Milton Keynes focused, but maybe not exclusively. 7. From any angle you take with this era, it’s very interesting for documentary purposes. |

Setting all else aside, I still think they'd struggle to make an interesting box set out of Hot Space as even if they made completely new rock versions, the songs just aren't that good. The words 'polish' and 'turds' spring to mind. |

Even Staying Power (which admittedly was improved by live performance) was pretty much a no-no for those around me. The HS tunes appeared to leave folk briefly "switching off / hanging around for the next tune". |

The HS tunes appeared to leave folk briefly "switching off / hanging around for the next tune". According to the press release of Forever which includes TMBMTLTT take, the interview of Brian in 1982 shared in this site forum, Queen had many songs and ideas, from which they choosed not the best, but what suited the style of the album direction. (The below average songs) Probably besides the album songs takes, there are demos and ideas , that might be better and more intersting. Additional there is David Bowie sessions and jamming. And of course except Milton gig , soundboard from other shows with songs like Life is real, Liar and the beatiful instrumental jam live in Sweden before Liar. Hot Space could be a real suprise. |

To each their own. I hate the studio version of “Back Chat” but the live version from MK is genuinely one of my favourite Queen tracks. |

When the Queen I boxset was announced it was like the outbreak of a regional war with a lot of fans! If they do release Hot Space it would be like a full blown nuke exchange💥😂

In my view that could be the closest thing to a worthwhile reissue of HS, as other artists might actually come up with superior renditions of the songs. It wouldn't be without precedent if it happened; as an example, I have an Alice Cooper tribute CD on which there's what I consider a much superior rendition of Only Women Bleed than the original recording.

The audio from Budokan 1975 TV special is from the own NHK audience recording. Buy, maybe QPL has raw SBD in their archives? |

Not taking into account time lines or the reality of whether certain people are still alive here is an alternative Hot Space disc. . . . Staying Power. Jimi Hendrix Dancer. Primus Back Chat. Chic Body Language. Nine Inch Nails Action This Day. Bruce Springsteen Put Out The Fire. Kiss Life Is Real. Kate Bush calling All Girls. The Who Las Pallablas De Amour. Heart Cool Cat. Adam Lambert under Pressure. Meatloaf and Lady Gaga |
