![Queen II [2011 Remaster]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61QgeFWLvfL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
This is where I came in with Queen, following many articles in the music press and the single 'Keep Yourself Alive' i was hooked. I remember searching every record shop in town for the album. In those days unbelievably most big towns and cities had multiple record stores. I finally tracked it down and never looked back.
The new mix here is a revelation so inevitably it doesn't sound the same as it did and with an open mind I embrace it completely. I know to a lot of people they don't like having their favourites tampered with but this is exceptional.and its not as though the original mix has been lost.
Much of the additional material here has been issued before, demo's and the like but disc 3 has all the unreleased alternate and early takes and you know being Queen they all sound fantastic. Most of the live stuff has been out before but the inclusion of a live take of rare song 'Hangman' is welcome. It has to be said it is not a great song but the recording is excellent, much better than most bootleg versions and worth having. Presumably Queen never ever recorded it in the studio and if they had surely it would here.
The San Diego recording from '76 are a taste of what might coime up in future.
As expected the package is first class using the royal purple throughout, the hardback book is a wonderful addition full of unseen pictures.
Can we assume that next year we will get a similar treatment to Queen II. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

I want yoooou!!!
Expected more, but still pleased with this richer and more fuller sound from their debut album. Need a few replays before it will grip me. Decent product, but only aimed at the core Queen fans for once. Still should have called it "Deary Me".

THE PREMIER QUEEN LP, and in my opinion the very best LP they ever put out.
