Queen - Queen II

NY VINYL-LP PÅ EMI 1974/2026

2 x 180 grams Deluxe Collector's Edition-bokssæt, sort/hvid vinyl + 5 cd'er

(FORUDBESTIL NU, UDE 27-03-26)

Over et halvt århundrede efter at det satte dem på vejen til superstjernestatus, er Queens kongelige andet album, Queen II, blevet remixet, remasteret og udvidet.

Queen II, som uden tvivl er Queens tungeste album, blev oprindeligt udgivet i 1974 og bredt anerkendt som deres første sande mesterværk. Med Brian May og Roger Taylor som executive producers er albummet blevet fantastisk mixet af teamet bestående af Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae og Kris Fredriksson.

5CD+2LP Queen II Collector's Edition-bokssættet indeholder albummets mix fra 2026, plus intim "flue-på-væggen"-lyd fra Queen i lydstudiet, tidligere uhørte outtakes og demoer, livenumre og radiosessioner.

Queen 2 Collector's Edition-bokssættet leveres også med en 112-siders bog med hidtil usete fotografier, håndskrevne sangtekster, dagbogsnotater og særlige memorabilia, samt minder fra bandmedlemmerne om at skrive og indspille albummet.
