Queen - Queen I (2024 Mix, LP Vinyl)

Absent from the 1973 release after a difference of opinion between the band and one of its producers, the song "Mad the Swine" has been reinstated to its rightful place as the album's fourth song, in between "Great King Rat" and "My Fairy King," just as Queen wanted it to be in 1972. This is not just a remaster, this is a brand new 2024 rebuild of the entire Queen debut album, which, with the benefit of hindsight, we have re-titled QUEEN I. All the performances are exactly as they originally appeared in 1973, but every instrument has been revisited to produce the 'live' ambient sounds we would have liked to use originally. The result is 'Queen' as it would have sounded with today's knowledge and technology – a first. Queen I is the debut album we always dreamed of bringing to you. - Brian May and Roger Taylor, 2024
