Queen's groundbreaking 1973 debut album Queen has been remixed, remastered, and expanded in a 6CD+1LP box set titled Queen I Collectorâs Edition. This edition restores the album to how Queen originally intended, remixed by Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae, and Kris Fredriksson. It includes a new tracklisting, alternative takes, demos, and live tracks, along with the very first stereo remix of a Queen album.
The 6CD+1LP set features 63 tracks, 43 of which are brand-new mixes, including intimate studio audio, rare live recordings, and Queenâs first-ever live performance from London in August 1970. Notably, the previously excluded track "Mad the Swine" has been reintroduced to its original place in the running order. Accompanying the set is a 108-page book with handwritten lyrics and memorabilia, housed in a two-piece box with a fold-out poster and photo prints.
