A new revisiting of the band’s 13th album, The Miracle, the band’s penultimate to be released in Freddie Mercury’s lifetime - originally released in 1989. The album was recorded as the band recovered from Brian May's marital problems and Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis in 1987 (which was, though known to the band, not publicised at the time). Basically, The Miracle is a showcase for Freddie Mercury and his love of sweeping, quasi-operatic vocals. And indeed, Mercury - especially on the title track - has never sounded better. One of his strengths is his ability to take even the schlockiest material and make it his own, and that gift comes in handy on The Miracle.6CD/LP - Among its contents, the expanded set includes The Miracle Sessions: an hour-plus disc of further previously unreleased recordings, including six unpublished songs. Just as tantalising for fans, the audio includes the band’s candid spoken exchanges on the studio floor in London and Montreux, giving the most revealing window yet into the four members’ creative process and the joy, in-jokes and banter on their return to working together.‘Face It Alone’ was originally recorded during the band’s historic 1988 sessions for that album, a prolific period which saw the band lay down around 30 tracks, many of which were never released, but remained among those that didn’t make the final album cut. It was rediscovered when the band’s production and archive team returned to those sessions to work on The Miracle box set reissue. “We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” admits Roger Taylor, “but there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece”.CD1 - 2011 Bob Ludwig MasterPartyKhashoggi's ShipThe MiracleI Want It AllThe Invisible ManBreakthruRain Must FallScandalMy Baby Does MeWas It All Worth ItCD2 - The Miracle SessionsParty (Original Take)Khashoggi’s Ship (Original Take)The Miracle (Original Take With John’s Ending)I Want It All (Original Take)The Invisible Man (Early Version With Guide Vocal)When Love Breaks Up (Demo)Breakthru (Real Drums And Bass)Rain Must Fall (Demo)Scandal (Original Rough Mix)My Baby Loves MeWas It All Worth It (Original Take)You Know You Belong To MeI Guess We’re Falling Out (Demo)Dog With A BoneWater (Demo)Face It AloneCD3 - Alternative MiracleI Want It All (Single Version)Hang On In There [B-Side]Breakthru (12” Version)Stealin’ [B-Side]The Invisible Man (12” Version)Hijack My Heart [B-Side]Scandal (12” Version)My Life Has Been Saved [B-Side]Stone Cold Crazy (Live At The Rainbow, London '74) [B-Side]My Melancholy Blues (Live At Houston, Texas ’77) [B-Side]Chinese Torture [Instrumental]CD4 - Miracu-mentalsParty (Instrumental)Khashoggi's Ship (Backing Track)The Miracle (Backing Track)I Want It All (Backing Track)The Invisible Man (Backing Track)Breakthru (Backing Track)Rain Must Fall (Backing Track)Scandal (Backing Track)My Baby Does Me (Backing Track)Was It All Worth It (Backing Track)CD5 - The Miracle InterviewsQueen For An Hour (Trailer)Queen For An Hour (Roger, John, Freddie &amp; Brian with Mike Read)Queen For An Hour (Trailer Out-takes)Rockline (Brian &amp; Roger with Bob Coburn)BLU-RAY / DVD - The Miracle Promo VideosI Want It All (Promo Video)Breakthru (Promo Video)The Invisible Man (Promo Video)Scandal (Promo Video)The Miracle (Promo Video)Was It All Worth It (Promo Video)The Making Of The Miracle Videos (Compiled by Rudi Dolezal, this feature contains behind the scenes footage of I Want It All, Scandal, The Miracle and Breakthru videos)The Miracle Interviews (Interviews with Roger, Brian and John on the set of the Breakthru film shoot in June 1989, by Gavin Taylor.
