Thumbs up attn: teh b0lly - queen - news of the world 40 year anniversary edition

not sure if anyone is familiar with the way Queen Productions has been whoring out the back catalogue for ages - rereleasing the same shit over and over in different forms for ridiculous prices, all the while sitting on a shit heap of to this day unreleased stuff. Compared to this TSP has been pretty lavish!

Just the last few years though, a few interesting things are finally being released: the On Air release, finally officially bundling all the BBC sessions in good quality (never mind the 6cd version of it btw, 3 of those cd's are only interviews) and now the news of the world box set. it has exactly one disc in it which is worth your while but it really does seem worth it for that only. It's alternative versions of every song on the album.

only three songs have been made public but I'm pretty excited about them/

All Dead All Dead with Freddie on lead vocals:


the full version of we are the champions (the original release is an edit)



we will rock you:
