Why even bother to reprint it all? Just stick a paper sleeve cd and sticker on all those old unsold TCR albums and claim that it's a new version. ;)

One remastered/remixed (it's a pity they've almost retired the 5.1 format) B- sides plus extended edits included on disc 2 (if just a remaster this is enough) demos, Perhaps some AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE with a nice writing bit describing the situation, sessions, dates, unrealized MIRACLE live shows preceding, stuff to give it the historical context *(IMHO It's damn near their best album although it came at the end) also an explanation of holdovers and changes to songs which resulted in ALL GOD'S PEOPLE etc. A bit from Steve Howe maybe. It's a shame Dave Richards isn't around. Comprehensive press duplicates and a blu-ray/dvd with ALL THE POST 90 videos. (They CAN omit the MIH stuff for a separate release but why not put NOBU out there somewhere? ) Perhaps even an interview with the THREE surviving members (insuring that the album is reviewed and held in the high regard it deserves) Vinyl editions featuring large insert size press photos from the TATDOOL photo op. (Brian with growing whiskers, John Deacon with his graying tufts hair do, Roger looking like Rue McClanahan, and Freddie in his cat vest) No sense in reprinting the old calendar issues. It's about damn time the post MIRACLE videos see a proper release in a digital format

Agreed: Hammersmith 75 is very short, and excludes a lot of tracks that we clamour for more live versions of. Coupling it with Hyde Park would be sensible, or maybe even a Budokan video or audio release if htey have one in good enough quality.
