Product Overview
Introducing the highly anticipated “Alternate Collection” series—the ultimate new addition to any Queen collector’s library!

Volume 1 shines a spotlight on Queen’s historic 1973 debut album, Queen I. This 2026 latest special edition 3-disc set (2CD + 1DVD) brings together newly edited album remixes, original master restorations, outtakes, rarities, and an extensive video collection. It comes packaged in a limited-edition, deluxe glossy triple-gatefold paper sleeve, making it a definitive archival piece.

CD 1: Multiplex Stereo Remix & Rarities
The Alternate Album: Features the entire album completely re-edited from the original multi-tracks. This “Multiplex Stereo Remix” delivers a strikingly raw, realistic soundscape completely distinct from the familiar overdubbed final mix. Experience front-and-center, naked vocal tracks and uniquely different guitar phrasing that breathe new life into these classics.

Singles & Rarities: The second half of CD 1 rounds out the experience with period-accurate single edits and rare, later-released remix audio.

CD 2: Original Master Restoration & Studio Outtakes
The Purest Sound: Dedicated to the “Original Master Restoration,” this disc aims to perfectly replicate the warm, authentic sound of the original first-press analog vinyl. Unlike the countless aggressive digital remasters released over the decades, this section offers a pure, untouched sonic reproduction that serves as the perfect antithesis to the CD 1 remixes.

The Roots of Queen: The latter half features rare studio outtakes alongside historic tracks from SMILE, the precursor band to Queen.

DVD: The Complete Video Collection (Total Runtime: 104 Minutes)
A comprehensive visual archive broken down into three essential sections:

Video Collection: Official promotional clips and freshly re-edited music videos.

Promotional Video Sessions: Historic footage of Queen’s very first promo shoots for “Keep Yourself Alive” and “Liar”. This includes multiple alternate edits captured in their entirety, complete with pre-take clapperboards (slates) and audio counts.

Video Archives: Rare television and live broadcasts from the era, including the UK’s Old Grey Whistle Test (OGWT), 1974 Rainbow Theatre film reels, and elusive German TV live footage.

The Ultimate 2026 Collector’s Item
An unprecedented deep dive into Queen’s debut era. Packaged in a limited-edition, deluxe glossy triple-gatefold paper jacket—built to be preserved for a lifetime!
