Queen: The Miracle - Deluxe Edition

[machanicalmovement]

Anyone else got this?
My husband got me it as an early Christmas present (I'm a big queen fan), the selling point here is Disc 2; Queen were never able to tour with this album, the first 11 tracks are LIVE takes of the songs performed in the studio, they are amazing!
Actual drums and bass, no 80's drum machines, completely different performances to the album, even different lyrics. Chatter and remarks from the band members between (and during) the songs, Freddie's voice is on top form, It's a wonderful set.

Then there are 5 Extra tracks after, these are unreleased songs.

For example here's Breakthru:

I've pre-ordered it, but it's not arrived yet.
From what I've seen everyone who got it early are praising it to high heaven.

It's worth it just for that second disc of "original takes" and studio sessions, some are almost finished songs.

Where do I look?

Amazon has a collector's edition CD not yet released for £325

Is it just the deluxe version? CD or vinyl?

That's the Full box set, I'm sure the mega fans will be all over it because it looks like it contains everything....

They obviously want people to buy that....but there is also a far more reasonably priced release with the interesting stuff condensed down to disc 2:
It's hidden here: www.amazon.co.uk/TBC/dp/B08C94KW9C/ref=sr_1_2?crid=YIUXSYDXTQVK&keywords=queen+the+miracle+deluxe+edition&qid=1668854322&sprefix=queen+the+miracle+deluxe+editio%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-2

The official Queen channel has now uploaded the good stuff to Youtube.
So if you'd just like to listen to the studio run through highlights here's a playlist:

Two bits to note:
Freddie comes In early on I want It All, "Oh god....shit....."
On my "Baby loves Me" Freddie messes up and sings "She knows that I love me" Roger then can be heard shouting "Ha ha ha ha Freudian slip"

When was this session from 88 / 89ish, most of the track seem musically done of probably later in the timeline?
Considering what we know about Freddies health at the time he seems as powerful as ever and the band are having a lot of fun, laughing and joking a lot it's very nice.

I love it when they release sessions like this, there are a few Elvis ones out there too, you get a real insight into the process.

I agree they sound like they are all having great fun.

I agree they sound like they are all having great fun. With the band knowing what the future held It really sounds like a determined effort to get as much pleasure as possible out of recording this album.
