Queen II - Boxset

Beskrivelse

Queen II, bandets anden plade, der for mere end et halvt århundrede siden satte dem på stjernehimlen, er nu genudgivet i en opgraderet og udvidet version. Albummet, som ofte betegnes som Queen's tungeste, udkom oprindeligt i 1974 og blev hurtigt anerkendt som deres første ægte mesterværk. Med Brian May og Roger Taylor som executive producers er albummet blevet genremixet og remasteret af det talentfulde team bestående af Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae og Kris Fredriksson.

Dette eksklusive Queen II Collector’s Edition boxset indeholder 5 CD’er og 2 LP’er med 2026-mixen af albummet. Derudover får du adgang til intime lydoptagelser fra studiet, hidtil uudgivne outtakes og demoer, liveindspilninger samt radio-sessioner. Som prikken over i’et følger en 112-siders bog med unikke, aldrig før viste billeder, håndskrevne tekster, dagbogsnotater og særlige memorabilia. Bogen byder også på personlige fortællinger fra bandmedlemmerne om skrive- og indspilningsprocessen.
