The Miracle (Collector’s Edition

Product Information

Queen’s writing also reflected their personal circumstances. The torn-from-the-headlines drama of “Scandal” was May’s personal swipe at the press intrusion into the bandmembers’ respective personal affairs. Singled out by Deacon for praise, Freddie’s soaring album closer, “Was It All Worth It”, has in retrospect been interpreted as a reflection on the singer’s health. The Miracle Videos includes the five promotional music videos and bonus content on both Blu-ray and DVD formats. This show of unity was elegantly conveyed by band art director Richard Gray’s cover for The Miracle, which depicts Queen’s four faces merged into one. “The cover art represents the unity of the group at the time: a seamless merging of four people becoming one,” May has said. “We were also dealing with Freddie’s deteriorating health and pulling together to support him.” Album – Classifica settimanale WK 47 (dal 18.11.2022 al 24.11.2022)" (in Italian).

I was tantalised by the promise of finally getting to hear ‘Dog With A Bone’ properly, a rough demo having been floating around for a while. I even dared to hope that we might get some studio outtakes, as we had with the ‘News of the World’ Anniversary Edition. (‘This will be take thirty seven… THOISAND’ in a horribly RP accent is a personal favourite of mine). I did not think much beyond this. The Miracle Collector's Edition brims with rarities, outtakes, instrumentals, interviews and videos, including the last interview John gave, from the set of the video for the hard-driving single 'Breakthru'. The Miracle (Collector’s Edition) from Queen is a sprawling set featuring the 1989 album, The Miracle, as well as a wealth of unreleased songs, outtakes, and extra-special recordings from the time the record was made the sessions for what turned out to be Queen’s 13th studio release began in 1987 and would mark a change in how the mega-hit quartet worked. This was the album where guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, and bassist John Deacon shared songwriting credits equally.Heard for the first time in Queen history, the spoken outtakes from The Miracle Sessions invite fans onto the studio floor to experience the band’s unvarnished dynamic, more natural and revealing than any ‘official’ press interview. These unguarded exchanges – by turns mischievous, encouraging, witty, even affectionately waspish – capture the band as they truly were during The Miracle’s late bloom, buzzing with renewed enthusiasm at their return to the studio, and driven by a rare chemistry that still threw up sparks. The album reached number one in the UK, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and number 24 on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. AllMusic would name The Miracle as Queen's best album of the 1980s, along with The Game. It would prove to be the band's penultimate album to be recorded with Freddie Mercury, as he died on 24 November 1991, nine months after their next album, Innuendo, was released.

The Miracle Interviews (Interviews with Roger, Brian and John on the set of the Breakthru film shoot in June 1989, by Gavin Taylor. John has given no further interviews since that day)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.
