Regardless of all the derision they must be doing something right.... all the re re re releases are still making millions for them so stop moaning about them all. STOP BUYING THEM. Vote with your wallets.

Unfortunately for us that vote doesn't really count.
We're talking about millions of back catalogue sales each year, while the fans account for thousands of those.
If all the people at QZ decided to ignore all the Queen releases from now on, it would reduce the profit of Queen Productions by a fraction of a percent.
Moaning is all we got, and with a lot of luck it might get through to the company at some point. Staying quiet sure as hell hasn't done anything good.

Tons from the musical and licensing for ads etc. When you look at the sales of downloads and cds, its not that great.
I hope so (for us fans of the music and heritage)
But, MAN these goobers (*twits for those who are British) missed such a great opportunity on a collective release WHEN CD S STILL SOLD.
Anybody buying stuff these days is more unlikely to buy anything packaged in s completist form.
When it was FIRST introduced I remember it was something like 1998 .
Record collector magazine
The FIRST TIME I bought the mag
Now everything is digital.
I hate to be a pessimist but I don't believe you're going to be seeing ANY releases of new material from the vaults until it becomes a bid for it after band members' deaths.
And that's pathetic.
The Beatles anthology did so well to revitalize things .... interest etc.
Queens. .. meh. They're sitting on it. ... even DESPITE the "gay chic" bull sheet that's going on
Pitiful waste of resources. Must of the og fan base will be dead v by the time it ever hits the shelves.
I mainly come here now to read up on peOple's sentiments. Don't expect a damn worthwhile release until they drop.
Whateverb pleading is done n is useless. Just remember In the immortal words of Curtis Mayfield. .... Freddie' s dead. ... that's what I said.
Good luck. ... and f qpl.
