Cool to see some "new" material on the disc as well, even though it's just remixes. Excited about the Revelations one though. Always been one of my favorite RT solo songs, even though the lyrics are horrid :-D |

Hopefully someone will digitize the remixes....I already pre-ordered the vinyl but don't have the equipment myself. |
| cmi 18.10.2017 07:54 |
Hopefully there will be a digital version available sometime somewhere... |
| Golden Salmon 18.10.2017 07:59 |
Nice to get more from Roger these days, but they're pretty weird choices. This year we're getting remixes of obscure tracks (Two Sharp Pencils...), of all the things he ever did. I'm not even complaining, just wondering what's going on. |
| Vali 18.10.2017 10:29 |
excellent news ! pre-ordered ! |
| cmsdrums 18.10.2017 12:34 |
Is this a US only thing as I can’t find any info on UK stores selling the Roger single (though being able to order a ‘Record Store Day’ release online is barmy anyway!) |
| leinadmercury 22.10.2017 08:26 |
Any online preorder site? |
| Walter B. 24.11.2017 20:30 |
Who has bought this and listened to it? How are the new mixes of Revelation and Tonight? |
| Daniel Nester 28.11.2017 14:34 |
Went to two stores for Black Friday Record Store Day and didn't see Roger's 10-inch [insert joke here]. Didn't expect it, but the eBay prices are through the roof. Will wait a week or so until they settle down from the stratosphere. |
| ggo1 28.11.2017 15:03 |
It was listed as a Record Store Day First release, not an RSD exclusive so presumably it will also get a later release. Maybe in a different format? Just seen that QueenOnline say they will be getting copies to sell. Presumably cheaper than eBay but I wouldnt guarantee it. |
| Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 28.11.2017 18:14 |
Walter, Revelations, in my opinion, is better than the album version. Tonight is a full version of the song (vocals, etc) with a lot of elements from the Dub Sangria mix. |
| Walter B. 28.11.2017 19:08 |
Hi Adam, Thank you. Let's hope this will get a proper release worldwide. I'd love to hear Journey's End (instrumental) and the other two tracks. Funny by the way that the track is now called 'Revelation'. On the album Happiness it's called 'Revelations'. My guess is that you've spotted the spelling error on the A-side label too: Coctail Mix, where it should be Cocktail Mix. PS the new beta-version of your website looks fab! |
| Barry Durex 28.11.2017 22:53 |
Another coc up, no prof reeding. |
| Pim Derks 29.11.2017 06:32 |
The typography is ugly, so no surprise that the actual text itself was also not checked by anyone. |
| Golden Salmon 29.11.2017 11:40 |
Seriously, you would think they would proofread it at least twice and they wouldn't have missed those. |
| slithybill 02.12.2017 16:23 |
It's available to buy from Omnivore again. Ordered a copy today. |

So, when will someone put this up on YouTube or WeTransfer? I want to hear the remix of Revelations - always been one of my favorite RT tracks! My copy should dispatch from Omnivore Records soon hopefully... |

ordered a copy from Omnivore. A bit pricey, but I like the song, I prefer vinyl, and I want to hear the other tracks as well |
| ggo1 08.12.2017 03:47 |
I got one from omnivore, the price was ok I guess, it the shipping to Canada killed me. Hopefully I won't get dinged for customs too. |

And for the regular price, not the crazy prices that online sellers are asking since the first day it was officially released. Can't wait to hear it. |
| ggo1 30.12.2017 20:21 |
Still not received mine. Ordered from omnivore on 8th December. Got a tracking number but haven't been able to track it. Says number not in system so I'm worried they took the order but had no stock left. |

I and a few others received ours a couple of days ago, so I'd expect yours to to be not too far behind. Consider the Christmas post... :) |
| ggo1 01.01.2018 14:12 |
No I'm in Canada. Still international post I suppose, but I'm less hopeful. Will give them till Friday before I contact them. |

Got my copy from omnivore and it arrived last week, a few weeks after ordering. The Revelation mix is really nice - a more modern and less 'rock' take, but a nice mix....different enough but still true to the original. Same vocal take, but a lot of new/alternate instrumentation with some inventive loops, though at the expense of 'real drums' in places. |
| Pim Derks 02.01.2018 19:14 |
Yeah, the Revelations mix is pretty interesting. Tonight was less obvious, though I didn't listen to it very well. |
| NCC1701Q 03.01.2018 17:49 |
Does the physical release include mp3-download-codes? |
| e-man 04.01.2018 09:05 |
got mine yesterday. A really nice track actually, now that I've listened to it a few times. Hints of Bowie, Pink Floyd imo. Revelations was a step up from the original. Vocals more prominent, and overall much better production |
| Vali 04.01.2018 09:49 |
Got my copy delivered yesterday. It was shipped on 04dec and it took 1 month to reach Spain, so patience to those of you who have not received yet! Nice, really nice realease. Journey's End is a haunting track. As pointed by others, there are some Pink Floyd touches in there. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the song as much without the visuals from the videoclip, but that was not the case. Lights out, eyes closed and that's it! As for the new mixes: Tonight has been always a favourite of mine, and here we find an interesting merge between the album version and the Dub Sangria mix. Yes tt's predictable, but still very enjoyable. Revelation(s): this one's the real treat from this release. It caught me from the 1st second. My wife was laying next to me on the sofa and I believed she was sleeping, but suddenly noticed her hands and feet following the beat. A completely new, different approach from the original and, as usual in Roger's case, sounding very modern. Thumbs up! |

Well mine finally arrived in Canada today. Couldn't play it immediately as it had been sitting in minus 20 temperatures all day and I was afraid to open it in case it shattered so i let it warm up to room temperature before opening. Anyhow, I had not heard Journeys end before and I quite like it, not as radical as I've seen it described but very much a plaintive Roger song, I'll have to give it more listens to come to grips with it. I love the guitar, not sure if Roger played it or not bit I assume so. Revelations is the stand out track. A lovely mix described in detail by others. I will say my copy has a lot of pops and crackles on it. Very thick yellow tinted clear vinyl but I would have preferred a cleaner copy in plain black vinyl that didn't repeatedly blow my speakers. Not much I can do about the pops and crackles as I believe all the copies are now sold so a return is out the question. Anyone else have issues with the pressing? It's a very pleasant 20 minutes of music (roughly) and well worth the price I paid, but it's a shame there's no digital download included. I will have to rip it with the crackles. I'll definitely be adding it to rotation in the car. |

At first listening I was horrified and immediately proceeded to clean the disc, the turntable, the needle, etc etc (haven't done it for weeks). The resulting sound improved drastically, but anyway I can still hear more pops and crackles than on any other of my newer (or not so newer) vinyls. For instance, no complaints of the recent NOTW boxset vinyl. |
