According to the Fan Club magazine:
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fabulous A Night At The Opera album, there will be a special edition release later this year.
Deja vu anyone? link
John S Stuart: 11 March 2005 - 00:50 (UK) - "The "boxsets" have been cancelled - because they are in NO one's interests... The first release WILL be some time THIS year - "A Night At The Opera" 30th Anniversary special edition (heralded to a great fanfare) - possibly followed by "A Day At The Races"... Meeeeooowwwwwwww!!! That's another cat escaped from the bag!
There is a big Jackpot in the german lottery tomorrow... more than 20 million Euros.
Please name 6 out of 49... plus one out of 10... 0...9! Please!!! :-))
it'll be interesting what is on the second disc.....hopefully an instrument version of Bo Rhap (with piano, bass and drums only) will be there.....
were there any outtake/demo tracks recorded for the sessions?
"But i would love to hear Bohemian Rhapsody with no vocals..."
And what about the "opera section"? Always thought they put some much effort into it... ;-)
bitesthedust: "...hopefully an instrument version of Bo Rhap (with piano, bass and drums only) will be there..."
John Lydon: "...i would love to hear Bohemian Rhapsody with no vocals."
NO - no, no, no, no, no, no...
This officially exists already! Seek it out!
Why take up much valued space on a special edition CD with stuff which is already out there?
I want stuff that I can not get hold of anywhere!
For Goodness sake, let's make special MEAN special - and NOT - rather mildly interesting!

Great. Can't wait too. And I'm really interested, if they do a new remaster of ANATO. Today's technology is much better than it was before. Or maybe they could use DVD-A remastering here.

I wasn't aware an instrument version of Bo Rhap (w/ piano, bass and drums) exists officially.....
Penetration_Guru: "Er, who says this will be two disc, or have anything new on it... It could be a CD in a 12" LP sleeve...that would be "special"... Shite, but special."
You could very well be correct - or in the words of Metallica...
Sad But True! - and don't go believing that such a scam is outwith the realms of QP!!!

last year was the 30th anniv.. of Sheer Heart Attack why wasn't that re-released with added things? etc..
the phrase money for old rope springs to mind
cant wait until 2025 coz we will get the 50th anniversary edition of ANATO and that will really have some gems on it!!!
The opera section and instruments only version can be heard on the BBC3 programme about BoRhap. It was shown back in December and has been shared here.
And as JSS said, there's the karaoke version that is the complete track without vocals.
Peace,
Adam.
Thanks for the support Thomas.
I think I have been accused of being an ars*, but I don't recall being accused of being an attention-seeker, but as long as the "good stuff" gets released, that should keep us all happy ;-)

John, I wish those accusations woulk stop. If I had to learn everything you've told us so far from official Queen related sources, I could grow a tail waiting. Please continue sharing your knowledge, it is very much appreciated.
