The club is set to launch on April 2nd 2008, so get ready to get closer to the band than ever before!
I've had a lot of negative comments to make about theway Q+PR has been promoted up to now. I think they are finally getting back on track now. This is great!
I wonder if they are previewing all the tracks of the album or just some?
I might pay £2 for a charity for listening to the album (and deciding whether to actually buy the product)... :/

Of course I'm sure it wont be long before someone complains.... "What only 15 free tracks?!?"
Absolutely, this is a pretty great idea. Maybe 15 of those songs will be previously unplayed (or not played in a while) and/or new.
On top of that, I'm willing to donate £2 (which probably translates to $1.50 American, nowadays) to a charity for this album club.
Then you can bet my last pound sterling that I am praying for some Queen/PR inspiration. For that *potential* name truly sucks the cocks of dead camels.
I will join...
... but I assume we won't be able to buy live recordings from all gigs, will we? We'll probably get just 2-3 tracks from each gig, just like on the QPR 2005 tour.
Which means that once again I'll have to take my bootlegging equipment with me :-(

Agreed - a good idea. Hope the tracks available are ones which will not appear on any future planned live release. ONLY EXCLUSIVE TRACKS PLEASE!
I subscribed to the Album club, and payed to pre-order the album. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this album. The only part of this club that has been confusing to me is about establishing the shipping address for a U.S. address. I e-mailed them; but with the volume of people griping about God knows what, who knows when I'll hear back about that.
