The Miracle”, released in 1989, is the 12th in the ‘Expanded Collector's Edition’ series of Queen's ultimate in-depth album studies, and is now available as both the ‘Blue Collection’ (2CD + 1DVD) and ‘Red Collection’ (2CD + 1DVD). The Miracle” is now available in two simultaneous releases: the ‘Blue Collection’ (2CD + 1DVD) and the ‘Red Collection’ (2CD + 1DVD)! The Miracle” is a masterpiece album produced by the miracle of the late Queen, who gathered in the studio to renew their solidarity as a band after Freddie's HIV-positive diagnosis while they continued their energetic live performances on the Magic Tour and their individual solo activities after the legendary Live Aid. The Miracle” is the ultimate collector's edition of this album, which includes the title track, a string of single hits and the number one album in the U.K. ‘The Miracle’ is now available in two unprecedented volumes of sound and video material. The “Blue Collection” (2CD + 1DVD) includes rough mixes of the album just before its completion, promo teasers of songs not included on the album, and demos of songs that were given out as “Work in Progress” to those involved. The DVD contains the same licks as the previous DVDs in the series, plus an “audio album” that allows you to select from four different multi-audio tracks and compare them. The Miracle Express” and ”Was It All Worth It? The “Red Collection” (2CD + 1DVD) includes alternate versions of singles and extended versions from the album, as well as instrumental albums of the album's complete songs, and a collection of songs that Queen fans have never seen performed at conventions. DVD2 contains a “video collection” of the promo video, including different versions of the video, making-of videos, commercials, etc. As in the past, the album will be released on DVD2. This is the latest title in the Ultimate Expanded Collector's Edition series, which delivers an unprecedented volume of “the ultimate in-depth study of an album” that delves into the album in the same maniacal way as before!

The Miracle” is the first two titles to be released simultaneously as part of Queen's Ultimate Album Study Series. The compilation is based on two concepts, the “Blue Collection” and the “Red Collection,” which categorize the numerous related sound and video recordings. ” The “Blue Collection” CD1, “Original Album Rough Mix Remasters,” is a collection of rough mixes made by US Capitol just before the album was completed, which were ultimately not recorded. The first one, “Original Album Rough Mix Remasters,” is based on the prototype cassette tapes, including “To Match Love Will Kill You,” which was not included in the final mixes. The “teaser tape” on CD2 is a promo tape that was included in the press kits distributed to the press and highlights each song on the album. CD2 is slightly different from the “Rough Mix Remasters,” as it includes a “Work in Progress” demo of the album. 13 Previews,” which were distributed to interested parties and include different mixes of the entire album, ‘To Match Love Will Kill You,’ as well as ‘All God's People’ and ‘Hang On In There,’ which will appear on the next album. The demo recordings have also been improved in sound quality compared to those previously available.
DVD1 is an “audio album,” as it always has been, featuring lyric videos with real-time lyrics for all songs, remastered stereo with multiple audio selections, 5.1 surround mixes, instrumental tracks, and vocal maintracks, The album includes four different audio options that allow you to select and compare the remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mix, instrumental tracks, and vocal main tracks. This is a section for maniacal comparison of sound sources. The “Red Collection” also includes over 75 minutes of documentary footage from the filming of “Breakthrough,” including the longest version of “The Miracle Express” and the TV special “Was It All Worth It,” which has never been released in Japan. The “Red Collection” is a continuation of the “Blue Collection” and includes single edit versions, 12” extended versions, promo edits, multi-track remixes, and more. The “Blue Collection” is a continuation of “Blue” and includes single edit versions, 12” extended versions, promo edits and remixes from multi-tracks. DVD 2 includes a compilation of the album's instrumental albums and previously unreleased demos from Queen fan conventions, including an alternate version of “I Want It All” that was released at a remote fan convention in 2020, as well as a compilation of many of the promo videos. The DVD2 contains 100 minutes of “video collection” including an alternate version of “I Want It All” released at a remote fan convention in 2020, and many different edited versions of promo videos, making-of videos, commercial videos, etc. The two titles total 4 CDs and 2 DVDs, making this the ultimate collection of the “The Miracle” album. This is the ultimate collection of “The Miracle” album.

Amazing Collection!
Format: Hardcover
I've loved Crystal Wilkinson's fiction for so long, so I'm thrilled to see her new book of poems (along with some essays and gorgeous/compelling artwork by Ron Davis). So many memorable image systems work their ways through the poems: creek water, tobacco, the Black body, blood, knives, food and kitchens--symbols and themes which have always marked Wilkinson's oeuvre in one way or another. Her language is lyrical in describing the brutalities of farm life, abuse, grief, and loss. This poetry collection is just stunning!

Amazing Book...
Format: Paperback
It takes a lot nowadays for me to rate any Fiction book 5 stars. I read way more non-fiction, and usually only read highly recommended fiction, or some that's given to me. There are plenty of other reviews here that tell you how it's not a "happy" book (why that matters i dont know), so i wont go on about that part. I dont base my reading choices on whether they have a happy fantasy story. This story is very real. The writing is really good. I have several points that i use to rate a book: the story itself, the actual writing style, the 'entertainment' value, the emotions it brings out - laughter, sadness, etc., and if it's very memorable - either by being very different than anything i've ever read, or by something else about it being very different. The only point out of all of those that i wouldnt give a 5 would be the writing style/prose - which i'd give a 4. It's very good, but not "amazing" to me like some authors are. The author brought me into the characters - where i could feel what they were feeling, and i understood why they did the 'bad' things they did - totally. I felt the way they lived, the area, the poverty... As the story progressed, i stayed up one night for HOURS wanting to know what happened - until the sun rose actually. As the finale was coming - which i had no idea would be the way it was - i was literally gripping the book with both hands and holding it up to my face. I realized this and laughed to myself since i hadnt even noticed. Then - i sobbed thru the last 20 pgs - i havent cried from ANY fiction for a long time. Yes, i get into books and really let them take me away, but this book has a special kind of writing and a special story that i never expected to effect me sooo much. The author THEN does something so amazing at the very end - when i couldnt believe it could get any better. I KNEW what i wanted to happen - and i kept thinking to myself, "no, it wont - because it will just seem to corny if it does." (Even tho i wanted it so much.) She made it happen in a special way, without making it corny but while bringing me the hope and good feeling i needed after all the sobbing. (I dont want to give anything away just in case you dont know the story.) This book scores an A+. If you love good, moving, American fiction you will love this.

Brava, Ms. Ward
Format: Paperback
I read this novel, along with nine others, for a college literature course. Of the ten, this was the only book to elicit a strong emotional reaction from me. There were moments when I hung my head in frustration, threw up my hands in respect (God bless Ward’s writing style), and wiped my face of tears and snot after crying my eyes out. An incredibly moving and poignant novel. The novel opens with its narrator Esch, fourteen years old and pregnant. She often follows her brothers around, and is constantly surrounded by men as well as the gruesome society of dog-fighting. Esch’s predominant male surrounding is, perhaps, the main influence that encourages her to sleep with her brother’s friends, and to submissively pine for the one boy, Manny, who unforgivingly mistreats her. Though Esch’s character was impeccably frustrating, and borderline stereotypical and archetypal, her faults lie with a motherless young girl, who wants to be wanted and loved. Both frustrating and annoying, this characterization was, at times, unlikable, yet that is exactly what made Esch so human. I applaud Ward’s lyrical writing style, as well her ability to write such gruesome and honest depictions that made me literally cringe when reading. Ward is able to effortlessly incorporate poetic language into her novel that, at times, made me set the book in both awe and envy, knowing I would never be able to produce such a product. I did find there to be a disconnect between the poetic language and the colloquial diction. That’s to say, I found it a bit unbelievable that Esch would speak so poorly to her family and friends, yet express herself so eloquently in her narration. Regardless, I found the poetic language to be successful and moving. I knew before reading the book that it was centered on Hurricane Katrina. However, I was surprised that the novel was centered on the build-up to the hurricane. Katrina itself is more or less twenty pages. The chapter pertaining to the hurricane, as well as the aftermath of the hurricane, were the sections of the novel that I found most captivating. Living through the hurricane with Esch and her family was difficult to read, which is perhaps why Ward chose to limit its description. That said, I wish I had more of Katrina and its aftermath. I waited for the hurricane for 200 pages, and it seemed to end as soon as it started. Though I was unsatisfied by the ending, I appreciated that the novel was a work that was not so much about Katrina as it was about survival and family. I was captivated by Ward’s poetic writing and honest characters. I will definitely be on the lookout for her other works, as well as an avid recommender of this novel.

00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works
Format: Kindle
Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward New York: Bloomsberry $24.00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works, and it may be that, given sufficient time to determine the full merits of Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, her work may be the most worthy. Perhaps the theory that great disasters (wars, natural disasters) invariably produce great works of art (operas, novels, paintings, etc.). This theory was often discussed by Flannery O’Conner who commented on the irony of the “creative renaissance” in southern literature which owes its origin to the extensive suffering and injustice associated with slavery and the Civil War. The narrator of Salvage the Bones is Esch, a fifteen-year-old girl living in Bois Sauvage, a predominately black bayou town which happens to be in the direct path of Katrina. Set in the twelve days leading up to, and just after the arrival of the hurricane, the novel presents each day as a distinct vignette. Esch and her brothers spend each day preparing for the terrifying arrival. They have no intention of leaving and attempt to help their drunken father reinforce their shack with sheets of plywood. They collect and store bottles of drinking water. Food supplies tend to consist of Top Ramen moon pies, vienna sausage, potted meat and eggs gathered in the woods. However, despite Katrina’s approach, Esch and her brothers seem to be primarily concerned about their white pit bull, China who has just given birth to five pups. China has developed a reputation in the dog fights that take place in “The Pit” in Bois Sauvage. She is a killing machine, a fact that makes Esch and her brothers the envy of their neighbors. The family’s meager economic security depends on China and each day is spent grooming, washes and feeding her. Indeed they fawn over the big dog, telling everyone that her puppies will grow up to have a killer instinct and therefore, they are invaluable. Much of the intrigue in Esch’s daily life revolves around protecting China and her pups. Skeetah is Esch’s oldest brother and the dog’s self-appointed trainer. Esch has a multitude of problems. She struggles to love her handicapped father and is haunted by the memory of her mother’s death. Now, she discovers that she is pregnant by Bois Sauvage’s “golden boy,” Manny, the boy who put the baby inside her is totally indifferent to the consequences of a rough and tumble frolic in the dark. As each day brings more distress, the homely, pug-faced teenager turns to her imagination, searching for a means to deal with the world around her, and as luck would have it, that is Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, which was a required reading at school. Esch begins to see the people around her as characters in her favorite book. She observes that all the girls in Bois Sauvage seem to be acting like their mythical counterparts: Psyche, Eurydice, Daphne - all of them running away from something or running after someone. However, the mythical character that Esch selects for her own role model is an ominous one. It is Medea, the fierce and vindictive wife of “the golden-haired Jason, who kills her own brother when he stands in the way of her love for Jason; and when that love turns to hate, she then murders Jason’s new wife, Creusa, her father, Creon and even kills her own children. Of course, Esch is not going to harm anyone. Although she is filled with rage at the world around her, she is actually one of the forces that is holding everything together; China, the white pitbull is another. When Katrina reaches landfall, it comes like some apocalyptic act of God, sweeping everything away, including Esch’s home and all of their feeble efforts to battle the rising water. In the end Salvage the Bones acquires a kind of epic grander. Like Noah or Gilgamesh, the waters finally withdraw, leaving a confused and humbled Bois Sauvage. How much has been lost? The puppies are gone and so is China - but given the dog’s character, she may have survived. Perhaps Skeetah and his brothers will find her. The reader is left with a singular image. Skeetah, the oldest brother sits in the wreckage of their home, and while everyone else is searching for missing children, furniture and cars, Skeetah looks at his brothers and announces, “She will come back to me.” Esch tells us: “He will watch the dark, the ruined houses, the muddy appliances, the tops of the trees that surround us whose leaves are dying for lack of roots. He will feed the fire, so it will blaze bright as a lighthouse. He will listen for the beat of her tail, the padding of her feet in the mud. He will look into the future and see her emerge into the circle of his fire, beaten dirty by the hurricane so she doesn’t gleam anymore. So, she is the color of his teeth, his eyes, of the bone bounded by his blood, dull but alive, alive, alive, and when he sees her, his face will break and run water. And what of Esch who loves the white dog? She says that China will look at me and know “I am a mother.” Hopefully, it is apparent that this is a remarkable book. However, it was almost lost in the loud braying and confusion that dominates much of publishing business now. Even so, it won the National Book Award in 2011. Now, after a strange silence, it is beginning to get the attention that it deserves.
