The Original 2015 18LP Coloured Vinyl Box Set
This is the original, highly sought-after 2015 First Edition release (Catalogue Number: CNN 5957) from Virgin EMI. It is NOT the more common 2019 reissue.
Collectors and audiophiles, this is your chance to own the definitive Queen vinyl collection. This magnificent box set brings together all 15 of Queen’s iconic studio albums, each meticulously remastered and pressed on heavyweight 180-gram coloured vinyl. This masterpiece is a monument to one of the greatest bands in the history of rock music.
All 15 hit studio albums, from the debut "Queen" to the final "Made in Heaven", sourced from the original master tapes.
Mastered by the legendary Bob Ludwig, with half-speed lacquers cut at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell for superior sound clarity and depth.
18 heavyweight LPs, with each album pressed in a unique colour to complement its original artwork, creating a stunning visual experience while the record spins.
A beautifully crafted 12"x12" book filled with intros to each album, rare photos, handwritten lyrics, and memorabilia from the band's personal archives.
Includes a special 2-disc edition of Queen II with custom etchings on the non-playing side, and for the first time, full-length double LP versions of Innuendo and Made In Heaven.
This set is visually breathtaking. Each album has been pressed on custom-coloured vinyl that matches the primary colour of the original album art, creating a unique rainbow across the collection:
The presentation box itself is a work of art, featuring a gold-foil impressed Queen crest.
This collection was five years in the making. Queen’s production team painstakingly researched the original master tapes to find the best possible sources, leading to significant audio improvements on tracks like "Under Pressure" and several songs from "Innuendo."
The decision was made to create new super-high-quality digital masters (24-bit/96kHz) from which the vinyl was cut, allowing for meticulous restoration with the lightest of touches and profound respect for the original recordings. The result is a sound that is richer, deeper, and more detailed than ever before.
The final lacquers were cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. This technique doubles the accuracy of the groove-cutting process, resulting in superior reproduction of the music when played back on your turntable. After exhaustive quality control and test pressings, the manufacturing was handled by Optimal in Germany, renowned for their audiophile-quality pressings.
