QUEEN I – Collector’s Edition [6xCD Box Set] (2024), MP3+FLAC

Fans of very early QUEEN – for many their best, primal ‘rocking’ era – have a reason to celebrate: it’s being released “QUEEN I Collector’s Edition” a 6CD + 1 LP Box Set containing 63 tracks with 43 brand new mixes,

comprising the original album with its intended running order restored, intimate fly-on-the-wall audio of Queen in the studio, demos, rare live tracks, BBC session performances, and previously unheard recordings from Queen’s first ever live performance in London, August 1970.
Also included is the first official release of “Hangman”, a Queen composition which was a mainstay of their early live shows, but which was never recorded in the studio. Absent from the 1973 release, the song “Mad the Swine” has been reinstated to its original place in the running order.
It’s a fantastic release, not cheap ($275), but a must for fans and serious classic rock collectors.
