Wonder will we finally see Brian's Royal Albert Hall gig from 1998, which was professionally filmed but never released.

There will be a 2CD and 6 CD edition. The 6 CDs contain the BBC sessions (don't ask me about completeness), radio interviews and live material that somehow is connected to the radio theme.

Supposedly, the casual customer is interested enough in that as the previous sales numbers of Brian May stuff sufficiently proves. - Greatest Video hits: a lot of blahblah but no specifics. promo videos are also in that pipeline and won't come out for a long time. They could make re-edits from all the rushes they have but why speculate, in the end the few promo clips we do not have will be missing anyway, because they are such perfectionists etc etc.

I hope so as I'm right at the front of the walkway!!

tcc wrote: I think the task of covering all their career in one go may be too daunting vs the unknown returns. Maybe the band should consider doing a boxset of anthologies by a practical period, for example, a boxset covering 1973 to 1977 first. This can cut down the effort involved and enable them to assess the demand for such an effort.

Vali wrote: C'mon, any other artist is releasing boxsets with rarities, demos, alt. mixes, raw live recordings etc, etc, these days. The reason why Queen, lead by Freddie Mercury (legend status), won't follow that path is beyond any reasonable comprehension. It's ridiculous to say the least. "Casual customer is not interested in such product". Yeah, yeah .... Brian's boxset will sell millions, I'm sure., as Roger's did. They get praise after the FANTASTIC Rainbow release but decide to show us their finger afterwards.

In the past I've always considered JB to be the sticking point. I base that on a conversation I once had with Jacky about future FC releases and she was quite blunt in saying that Roger had approved more Cross/Solo releases, but JB had said "no, that's your retirement fund". I'm starting to change my mind though.

Some NotW boiled sweets? Queen reading glasses? Jazz woolly socks? A Rainbow balloon to blow up? Oh we got that one already... :)

As we've seen tracks like Ogre Battle, Sweet Lady, you Take My Breath Away, You're My Best Friend, etc. remixed (and cool and raw sounding too, I'd argue much better than the weird sounding Odeon 75 release).
