Queen Studio Collection LP box set

Cut from the digital 2011 masters so it seems. :-(
Using the original analogue tapes and make a new master from scratch wasn't possible so they said....

Strange, because the Beatles could do it with even way older mastertapes: I bought the Beatles mono vinyl box (2014 release) wich is a far better product than this upcoming Queen release...
Terrible design and vinyl colors as well. But that's Queen these days I guess.

Any thoughts?

There are more surprises in the box set; ‘Queen II’ originally never had a designated ‘A side’ or ‘B side’ - but ‘Side White’ and ‘Side Black’. For this new edition, the album has been cut on two separate discs, black and white, each with a custom etching on the reverse side, a nice bonus for collectors.

What??????????????????????

Queen always had a special fondness for vinyl, the medium in which they first began to create, around 1970. As a matter of principle, every Queen studio album was offered at the time of original release on vinyl, even well into the era when CD’s had taken over as the medium of choice for most of the public. However, the final two albums, ‘Innuendo’ and ‘Made In Heaven’ were actually formatted primarily with the CD in mind, with a longer running time, so the contents had to be edited down to fit them on to the two sides of a vinyl album. Now, specially for this edition, for the first time, these two albums have been cut at full length as double vinyl LP’s - four sides each – making up a vinyl set that is complete in every way

Good news

Where's a b side vinyl??

It's basically the 2011 remaster cd set made ready for vinyl without the bonus material. Pressed on rather childish looking colored vinyl (Sheer Heart Attack and Jazz look OK)
with some book and an ugly black and gold boxset. They could and should have done better.

Im not sure if I want to spend 400 euros + shipping on that. Especially since I have multiple first pressings of all their LPs in pristine quality.

I hope they will release the LPs individually as well. Innuendo and Made In Heaven are worth trying on 2LP.
But than again, those albums were digitally recorded so it doesn't really make sense to buy LP versions of those.

I went on QueenOnline and when I saw 400€ I collapsed. I know there's quite a lot of stuff in there, but for me it's simply too expensive, plus I've got the entire 2011 set.

Hey t least many will get the ultra rare Red vinyl SHA now !

You have no rights ignore it, you can not ignore
You must pre-order and buy it, RIGHT NOW!

It's an interesting set for vinyl lovers like myself, €400.00 is a fair price too for what you are getting, some double vinyl albums, the book and the box. I'll probably buy this.

Would love to have seen one more double vinyl set with B-sides and studio rarities, still a good set in my opinion.

I don't like the coloured vinyl. As people on streets said, it's childish looking.

I may have been tempted if it was an attampt to be accurate. But coloured vinyl and 2011 remasters? No thanks.

BTW, found a mint NOTW in London for £15. I'll keep looking for the rest.

Actually I think it`s an unnecessary release. Maybe for die hard Vinyl collectors. The rest should keep their wallets closed.

People keep saying this is an interesting item for vinyl lovers.

If you really understand why vinyl is great and when its great you'd understand that this set is rubbish.

I said it before: The Beatles mono vinyl box set (2014 release) is how it should've be done.

Forgive me if someone has already mentioned it but I notice they appear to be selling the albums individually on black vinyl for £20... http://www.queenonlinestore.com/Queen/Queen-Studio-Collection/
