A remixed version of Queen’s powerful self-titled debut from 1973 (the first time that a Queen album has been remixed).
Retitled “Queen I” for this release, the album features the singles “Keep Yourself Alive” and “Liar” and sees the band at its most raw and exciting.
This 6xCD/1xLP Collector’s Edition sees the song “Mad The Swine” now reinstated into the album running order in its originally intended place.
The bonus discs include, “De Lane Lea Demos” (also newly mixed from the original multi-track masters), a CD comprised entirely of previously unreleased “Queen I” session out-take music and dialogue, a CD of instrumental and backing track versions of the album, a live CD featuring some of the best and most interesting live performances of songs from this album, and a disc comprised of “Queen I” tracks that were recorded for BBC Radio One (including DJ announcements).
Features a 108-page 12” hardback book with a treasure trove of rare and previously unseen photography, hand-written lyrics, Freddie Mercury’s sketches and more.
Presented in a rigid two-piece box with fold-out poster and four photo prints.
The band shared the official music video for the track “The Night Comes Down,” watch it through the YouTube player below:
Check out the brand new official music video for “The Night Comes Down,” a timeless track from their debut album.
“The Night Comes Down” is the first single taken from “Queen I,” a remastered, remixed, expanded 6xDisc boxset of the band’s ground-breaking debut album, Queen, and one of the earliest of the band’s recordings to ever appear on an official release.
The track is released physically on 7” October 4 , shortly ahead of the anticipated “Queen I” boxset release on October 25, 2024.
Among the band’s legendary tracks, Brian May’s tenderly nostalgic confessional pointed gracefully towards Queen’s future. The glinting guitars of the opening herald a display of Brian’s innovative and layered style, set to become a key element of Queen’s dramatic, grandiose, and orchestrated sound.
Between Freddie Mercury’s exquisite falsetto, John Deacon’s rippling bass, Roger Taylor’s attentive percussion and Brian’s deeply sensitive playing, the young band were here discovering a voice all of their own.
Physical 7” single for release 4 October. Available for pre-order 11th September from Queen Online store ahead October 25, 2024 “Queen I” boxset release.
“Queen I“: The iconic debut album – newly mixed, mastered, expanded.
The video features classic images of Queen from the early 1970s, but following a collaboration with an artist specialising in AI, some of those images have been given a whole new dimension. Hopefully, the end result is a sense of what it was like being around the band as their extraordinary journey began.
