This box set includes Queen's first eight studio albums in their original album-style packaging.
Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland and Nice, France between July and October, 1978.
Queen started as a kind of glam-rock variant on the '70s heavy-rock sound of Led Zeppelin, but it soon became apparent that there was much more to the group than that. The high-pitched vocal acrobatics of flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury, and the songwriting skills of all four Queen members, enabled the group to explore countless genres, sometimes several in the course of a single album. Besides the multi-tracked choral vocal expeditions of Mercury, a sonic trademark was the almost orchestral guitar sound of Brian May. These elements were the connecting thread on the band's first eight albums (representing the peak of their career), which are collected in their entirety on this long-overdue box set. From hard-rock bombast to introspective balladry and even funky floor-shakers, Queen's distinctive sound and compositional prowess is presented here in full flower.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Must have for Queen fans!
It's very simple! If your a Queen fan and you don't own these 8 CD's then you are truly missing out.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Make No Mistake. . .
Simply put, these are the 8 albums I remember as they were released. So there's no Rick Ruben bonus tracks or typical jewel cases which each CD. You also don't get all the mastering mistakes (the edited Lap of The Gods from Heart, the chopped guitar intro to It's Late from News or the screwing guitar intro to Crazy Little Thing called Love from Game to just name a few)of the original Hollywood releases. These are the 8 classic Queen albums as they were intended, but now remastered on to CD. No bells, no whistles, no mastering errors, just the albums and the set is wonderful.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Box Set Is A Must For Queen Fanatics!
Just as the band were always bombastic and so over the top, this box set is as well. The first eight albums are remastered beautifully and restored to their original artwork right down to the record sleeves. These miniature Long Players fit, along with an extensive booklet with song lyrics and commentary by Matt Pinfeild, in a blue suede box. A high price but worth it if your dumb and have a lot of money to waste.
