Was Queen I box set worth it? poll

I thing Queen I box worth it but i could be better:
For me, the remix, the demo and the queen I session worth it.
BBC and backing track are useless : we already have BBC on "queen on air" box and I'm not a fan of instrumental track.
Live CD have interessing things (the 4 last songs) but would deserve a true whole live from the 73's era (not Live at Imperial College because it doesn't sound so good).
It miss :
Keep Yourself Alive (Long Lost Re-take)
Liar (US Single Edit)
Liar (John Luongo and Gary Hellman Remix)
Son And Daughter (Australian Censored Single Version)
Silver Salmon
Polar bear

I like the remix a lot, I prefer it over the original first pressing and subsequent remasters.

The sessions are wonderful music experience and of course the instrumentals.

The instrumentals reveal melodies, sounds and details hidden under the vocals. I always love them.

I wish for Queen II include instrumentals and vocals only tracks. I love to hear MOTBQ, TFFMS, Nevermore and WQ vocals only versions along with instrumentals.
Ofcourse sessions and remix.

Thanks for your appraisal of the 2CD issue; I'm planning on buying it myself.

In hindsight, I should have included the two CD set in the poll options.  I suppose that is all the "other" votes.

I see I am not the only "cheapskate" that bought the mp3 version.

I decided in the end just to buy the 2 disc version which I thought was well worth it , I already have " At The BBC " & "On Air ." I don't have a turntable so the vinyl would be a waste of time and I must have around fifteen coffee table style books with enough photos of the band for me to look at when I want to as well as many books about Queen to read . Some I still have never got around to reading yet. I get the it looks nice but for over £150 , it was I think rather over priced in my humble opinion .

Seeing how it’s my favourite album for me it’s well worth it

Correct.

Egads, I remember in days of yore at Queenzone where it was like pulling teeth to get people to listen even slightly critically to that recording, to realize that Mercury's voice was developed far beyond where he was in 1972 and that it was the News of the World era drum kit they were hearing with the timbales. It was an extended period of me wondering whether not anyone apart from a tiny few actually cared about Queen's music in any academic or critical way. The banter on this forum for the past few weeks certainly has clarified that we've long moved on from that. Thank goodness.

I voted that yes, it was worth it. But I believe the price was too much (almost $300 Canadian) which is crazy to think about - almost double what I paid for The Miracle box set.

Gotta agree with my fellow canucks here. I'm glad I bought the boxset, and all this new content has been an absolute joy and is certainly one of the highlights of my year... But $300 Canadian is too much for what I received, especially when comparing to similar product from other bands. The BBC disc is absolutely useless, the Live disc only had four pieces of new content, and two of them were very poorly handled (I truly mean it when I say I could have done a better job with San Diego 1976's content)

The highlight is easily the Queen I sessions disc, which is maybe my favourite Queen release since March Rainbow, but I don't believe it's enough to warrant the price that I paid.

The included book would've softened the blow for me if it wasn't found that most of its text was removed before release. There's a few pages that stuck out to me as being VERY OBVIOUSLY designed to have paragraphs of text that were just removed.
