Queen will be rereleasing their first album...again. October 25th will see the release in a lavish 1LP + 6CD box set that includes a 108 page book and they claims 43 new mixes. The presale price is just south of $200.

I bought the 2011 reissue and was 80% impressed simply because of the inclusion of the De Lane Lea Demos and a booklet chock full of photos. I was not impressed that they chose NOT to include the U.S. album cover (Elektra) which is sort of a big deal to North American fans.

Here is a link to the Queen site that details the details!

I find it interesting that the Queen merch page is selling swag that says 'Queen I'. It's interesting because this album was always referred to as 'Queen I' in spoken word but always appeared as simply 'Queen' in printed word.
