Queen QUEEN II
(LTD. COLLECTOR S EDITION 5CD+2LP)

Over half a century after it set them on the path to superstardom, Queen’s regal second album, Queen II, has been remixed, remastered and expanded.

Arguably the heaviest Queen album, Queen II was originally released in 1974 and widely heralded as their first true masterpiece. With Brian May and Roger Taylor as executive producers, the album has been stunningly mixed by the team of Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae and Kris Fredriksson.

The 5CD+2LP Queen II Collector’s Edition box set features the 2026 mix of the album, plus intimate fly-on-the-wall audio of Queen in the recording studio, previously unheard outtakes and demos, live tracks and radio sessions.
