Some hours ago, Greg posted in his Facebook profile that Miracle boxset IS confirmed, as you remember Jim Beach also confirmed last October. Greg also mentions a possible Live Killers boxset... From Greg Brooks: I see that quite a few fans are now thinking that the Queen team is working on a Live Killers box because Brian made a comment about the current project being “a killer”. It’s really not Live Killers so please don’t go down that road of expectation, not yet anyway. Brian wasn’t certain if The Miracle box had been announced yet, which of course it had, by Jim Beach back in October, so that’s why he didn’t name it. Killers is definitely on the agenda, but not yet.... which is actually just as well because only recently we unearthed a fab item that is perfect for that box, and that only goes to show there is still some more research to do and places to look. The post is in the attached image below: |

The Miracle is a weird choice though... I expected a 40th Anniversary of The Game, which was a milestone album. Live Killers is long overdue. And also expect something of an Innuendo boxset in 2021 to mark another milestone. I can totally imagine a big boxset with that Grandville imagery plus FINALLY the release of all the videos off that album. Live to dream... |

One of the greatest album artworks ever IMO (News Of The World) got a boring black box with QUEEN on it in red. I'm sure they'd fuck up an Innuendo box with all those beautiful Grandville illustrations as well. |

They were hoping that The Miracle would be released this year but obviously that didn't happen. My prediction of Miracle box set: CD1 - original album CD2 - non-album songs + single & extended versions CD3 & CD4 - raw tracks of original album & non-album tracks + unreleased tracks CD5 - "Queen for an Hour" BBC Radio 1 Interview DVD & Blu-ray - promo videos remastered + the making of the videos & album cover features + interviews or even mini-documentary. |
Wild_Wind 17.12.2019 22:13 |
For LK, I guess Brian is reluctant to the idea of bringing a light on the uncountable number of cuts and edits made for the original release. I'm ready to wait anyway, but our time on earth is limited ! |

It would be nice to hear a high quality version of dog with a bone. I’m really wondering what that fab item for the live killers tour is. I’m hoping I’ll Munich, but that’s not likely. |
Makka 18.12.2019 05:39 |
Excited, but not excited. The Miracle extras I'm sure will probably be the stuff we've all heard already. Live Killers is the one I'm waiting for and some video concerts from that era! |
pittrek 18.12.2019 07:03 |

I always wanted stuffike face it alone to be reworked like MIH album also if it was possible an album like MIH, the boxset with Freddie voice and unreleased stuff is great and better than a live album which after 5 times I will never listen it again. Moreover The Game - Hot Space period has plenty unreleased stuff, like under pressure sessions. If The unreleased boxset is really good then Queen might get a number one album depending the period of its released i. e. January, June, September with low sales. P. S. A kind of magic soundtrack will be welcome in the near future |
Anton3283 18.12.2019 07:57 |
One thing important for me. I want to see this box set on Apple Music |

Also, IMHO, The Game is horrendously overrated. |
Nathan H 18.12.2019 11:25 |
I'm really hoping that The Miracle box set will feature high quality recordings of unreleased songs. I've included two discs of "raw sessions" because there are at least ten tracks available which weren't on the ten track album. |

I posted this yesterday on SHF in a topic about "your most wanted unreleased stuff": ----- Probably a boxset covering Queen in the post-Magic Tour years - The Miracle, Innuendo & Made In Heaven. - Remixes of The Miracle and Innuendo, much like the new Momentary Lapse Of Reason - real drums instead of drum machines etc - so that they all sound like Made In Heaven which is still one of my favorite productions ever. - Two discs of single edits, b-sides, remixes etc (only the most important remixes of You Don't Fool Me obviously) - Three discs of outtakes, in chronological order - BluRay with 5.1 mixes of Miracle/Innuendo/MIH + the video clips from those albums remastered in 4K. - Bonusmaterial includes stuff like the No-One But You video, the Love Kills/TMBMTLTT/Let Me In songs from Queen Forever etc. |
mooghead 18.12.2019 21:09 |
Lets be honest... everything they release from The Miracle sessions will be stuff that has already been leaked and we already know but in slightly better quality. Then people will complain that they have already heard it. |
stevelondon20 18.12.2019 21:37 |
I think that you might be right Robert. Although, I am praying that you ain't!! |
Golden Salmon 18.12.2019 21:53 |
Yes! Good choice, odd timing, likely well-known material but potential for unknown stuff... Just give us a release date. The LK boxset could be really nice if you give them some more time. It's not like we were going to get it anytime soon. |
cmsdrums 18.12.2019 22:09 |
I’m hoping The Miracle release will at least include an alternative versions album (like the NOTW box, but more more extensive), with different versions, demos, and even live studio workthroughs with all four guys playing some of the tracks together. I’d pay the asking price for that. |
brENsKi 18.12.2019 23:04 |
as per most (above) I just can't raise any enthusiasm for this. I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it holding any genuine surprises. At least the NOTW package contained those alternate versions of WATC, It's Late and Spread. All were nice. |

I get the impression that The Miracle box set will be finished soon (according to Jim Beach at Mercury's birthday party) but I doubt that it won't be released until October/December. Then Live Killers presumably the year after that though the 50 years anniversary will be that year. |

I'd add one CD worth of rarities, most of which will be similar to or the same ones we already have from either the 2011 remaster or the leaks, and that's my most optimistic scenario. Anything else than that, I'd be beside myself. |

IanR 19.12.2019 23:44 |
I remember Roger said that he had Dog With A Bone on his iPod, so I imagine that will be released. I hope that Face It Alone, Guess We're Falling Out and one or two other rarities make an appearance. |

Only I know for 100% certain. It will be overpriced and underwhelming. |

Why are people so obsessed with Face It Alone? It's a skeleton of an average sounding song. They abandoned it for a reason. |
Dim 21.12.2019 21:33 |
There is a more completed take of Face alone. By the way even the leaked demo sound so good, beautiful melody, sweet tone Freddie. If they did the same treatment like you don't fool me then we will have a very good song. |
emrabt 21.12.2019 21:55 |
Dim wrote: If they did the same treatment like you don't fool me then we will have a very good song.To do that they first need a song they can work with, Face it alone has a very basic adlibed verse followed by 8 minutes of noises. I like 'affairs' but that too is a very basic adlibed verse and chorus, it's more complete than face it alone though. Despite Brian Saying You don't fool me was 'built from scraps' it actually had the Verse chorus and bridge complete (According to Gary Taylor), which is a good half to three quarters of the song done. |
Nathan H 21.12.2019 23:53 |

Moreover, there is still another one version of this song, "My baby loves me." |

This year the 40th Anniversary of The Game album and so unloved by fans soundtrack Flash Gordon. IMHO It would be much more logical to release a box set for these two albums than to release a box set of the The Miracle album with a delay of one year. But QPL is QPL If memory serves me right, they say they said 2019 was very busy for them. I wonder what they did ? With whom? Dances on the bones with Lambert? |

The had demoversions all rolled into one song from rough first ideas until almost finished without hearing any cuts. Sounded awesome. Still heard to believe they chose "Miracle" for a boxset.

blueviolin 05.01.2020 13:23 |
I think that the Miracle is the small brother of Innuendo. Like ADATR is a bit shadowed by ANATO, for me The Miracle is shadowed by what came after. That's all about personal taste, but for me that album was the most exciting thing to hear, in terms of discovering new Queen songs and albums when you are a Queen fan discovering everything for the first time. All the earlier albums sounded like 'old' for me but with The Miracle there was a freshness, a modernity, a new kind of Queen sound. I don't understand the dislike for this album; it's true, that much like 'The Works', it contains a lot of Hits (The miracle, Invisible man, Breathru, I want it all --- I mean those which are on Greatest Hits) and therefore we could be disappointed by the less known tracks on it. But I believe that this album is surrounded by a lot of mystery and there is a real potential in this boxset, commercially it has a lot of hits well-known by everyone who has the Greatest Hits collection and who'll be curious to hear where that came from. |

That's all about personal taste, but for me that album was the most exciting thing to hear, in terms of discovering new Queen songs and albums when you are a Queen fan discovering everything for the first time. All the earlier albums sounded like 'old' for me but with The Miracle there was a freshness, a modernity, a new kind of Queen sound. I don't understand the dislike for this album; it's true, that much like 'The Works', it contains a lot of Hits (The miracle, Invisible man, Breathru, I want it all --- I mean those which are on Greatest Hits) and therefore we could be disappointed by the less known tracks on it. But I believe that this album is surrounded by a lot of mystery and there is a real potential in this boxset, commercially it has a lot of hits well-known by everyone who has the Greatest Hits collection and who'll be curious to hear where that came from. And I cannot disagree with you.It is amazing that the same bucket of slops poured on the Miracle and on the Hot space. |

As long as the track lists are getting incredibly unlikely stuff (i guess we're falling out - unless a full demo exists) .... Then you might as well toss in MANIPULATOR (Roger's demo - as he'd gotten that nifty jacket made to show it off) 5 minutes of John Deacon studio cues. To even it out to around 70 minutes of bonus content? |

Those feeling when plans are changes for Lambert mad dances. It's a shame to know that the release of this box set has been postponed. Don't wait either this year or even next. |

The Fairy King wrote: The Miracle is a weird choice though... I expected a 40th Anniversary of The Game, which was a milestone album. Live Killers is long overdue. And also expect something of an Innuendo boxset in 2021 to mark another milestone. I can totally imagine a big boxset with that Grandville imagery plus FINALLY the release of all the videos off that album. Live to dream...My guess it that has primarily to do with the amount of material they have available. Loads of albums should/would be a priority if they had stuff in the archives for it |

My prediction of Miracle box set: CD1 - original album CD2 - non-album songs + single & extended versions CD3 & CD4 - raw tracks of original album & non-album tracks + unreleased tracks CD5 - "Queen for an Hour" BBC Radio 1 Interview DVD & Blu-ray - promo videos remastered + the making of the videos & album cover features + interviews or even mini-documentary.5 + DVD are pointless. there's Qzone folk editing videos that can probably do as well with those promo videos etc. Videos though - if they do it right, could be spectacular. I tune in to catch Rudi dolezal on YouTube, and he has stressed that all his videos were shot on 35mm film. In other words, with the right treatment they would look stunning Fingers crossed |
