According to ultimateclassicrock.com, Queen will be releasing an expanded collector’s edition of their 1989 album The Miracle on Nov. 18th. The box set is currently available for preorder on the band’s website in multiple configurations. The largest being the Super Deluxe Collector’s Edition Bundle, an eight disc box set that includes a “long-lost original LP cut” and CD copy of the album. Four other CDs include The Miracle Sessions; an Alternative Miracle comprising bonus tracks, B-sides, extended and single versions; an instrumental disc of The Miracle; and a disc of radio interviews. There is also The Miracle Videos on both Blu-ray and DVD formats that feature interviews and behind the scenes footage of the making of videos and The Miracle’s album cover.
The Miracle Super Deluxe Collector’s Edition also features a 76-page photo book, original fan-club letters from the band, contemporary press reviews, extensive liner notes and for those who spend extra on the Press Pack will receive a reproduction of the promotional press kit that Queen sent out back in 1989.
When speaking of this bonus material that is included, guitarist Brian May stated that, “We had all these bits and pieces of tracks, and some of them were half-finished, some of them were just an idea, and some of them were nearly finished, and it sort of happened on its own really. There are some tracks which you always want to get out and work on, and so they get finished, and there are some tracks which you think, ‘Oh, that’s great, but I don’t really know what to do with it at this moment,’ so they naturally get left by the wayside.”
The band gave a preview of The Miracle bonus material on Thursday with the previously unheard track, “Face It Alone.”
