If the albums The albums also with bonus Cross (EP). I think it would be a wonderful idea that contains a rare session material. Cheers
The solo material isn't controlled by Queen Productions. Each member (or Freddie's Estate) controls his work, at least as far as Brian and Roger are concerned. John never issued anything solo as "John Deacon," so his are collaborations are owned by others. The Cross material a whole added complication.
Then there's the issue of some material being attached to different record companies.
The last thing I heard, around the time of his "Everything Is Broken" single, was an interviewer asked if a collection or re-issue was likely. I think Roger's response was like, "Yeah, it could happen." I remember it sounding non-committal. It doesn't mean it can't happen, but such re-issues may not be in the works at the moment. It's more likely we'll get another Roger solo album first.
Roger's album should have been released last year.
But I see the other side, beyond the solo works that will improve the bonus tracks from the bonus EP. I do remember the anthologies of Beatles songs such as The Kiss and Football fight, make them more interesting.Finally, new material is always welcome by fans.
Cheers friends!

that would indeed be amazing if they got remastered and were sold in a SHOP! i see it now, searching HMV and there it is! solos! yay! i really want to start a collection of solo album, so this would help alot! i got a single driven by you from brian mays solo album for 99p in a charity shop once, it was amazing!
Rog Q&A on QOL 13th March 2011:
Now that Queen has moved to a new record label, what will become of your solo material? Will that too, see a reissue, and if so, will they be given a clean up too?
I am collecting and collating my solo material and hope to release re-mastered versions, hopefully, along with an album of new material in the next year.
In that case, awesome!
Hopefully that means bonus tracks on each album.

I've only head the live tracks that were b-sides to the "Happiness" singles, which are great, but a full concert, either by itself or as a 2-disc set with the album (+bonus tracks) would be sweet.
