Queen The Singles Collection Volume 2 Limited Edition CD Box Set
Overview
This is a Limited to 4000 Copies Only
The second volume of Queen’s massively impressive Singles Collection box set series is set for release by EMI on June 15.

Aimed to make available and replicate in faithful detail every one of Queen’s singles to have made the upper reaches of the charts anywhere in the world, the collection was launched last December with a set covering the band’s career from the early years 1973 – 1979.

This latest Volume 2 box set covers the subsequent period of mid 1979 – 1984 with 13 singles drawn from the albums Live Killers (79), The Game (80), Flash Gordon (80), Hot Space (82) and The Works (84).

The subsequent volumes will follow the band’s singles through to the final Queen studio album, Made In Heaven from 1995.

While focusing primarily on the band’s complete UK singles output, the importance of the series is amplified by the inclusion on many singles only released abroad as well as rare non-album B-sides, live tracks, and some seldom-heard alternative mixes. This is a collection made up of the singles in their true original form, delivering every top 40 Queen single heard on the radio anywhere across the world.

This collection highlights one of the most adventurous periods in Queen’s history which saw the band constantly reaching out into new territory, both as studio musicians and live performers. Considering the band was seldom away from touring it is remarkable they were able to achieve such an output of new recorded work. In the five year period these singles cover the band toured Europe three times, Japan three times, the USA twice and even managed to break open the Latin America countries with a series of logic and – some would say – sense-defying stadium concerts which Queen would later return to for the 1985 historic Rock in Rio concerts.
