Five years in the making, the no-expense-spared 18LP box set The Studio Collection presents the music Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and company in the finest fidelity it's ever enjoyed. Sourced from the original master tapes, mastered by Bob Ludwig, cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios, and pressed at Optimal in Germany, this mammoth collection will rock you again and again. Custom-produced colored vinyl (different for each record), an eye-popping 108-page hardback book, a flip-tip box, and high-quality digital download codes are the proverbial cherries on top.   Queen on vinyl: This is how listeners first heard the now legendary Queen in the 1970's when vinyl was the predominant format for recorded music. As a matter of principle, every Queen studio album was offered at the time of original release on vinyl, even well into the era when CDs had taken over as the medium of choice for most of the public. However, the final two albums, Innuendo and Made In Heaven were actually formatted primarily with the CD in mind, with a longer running time, so the contents had to be edited down to fit them on to the two sides of a vinyl album. Now, specially for this edition, for the first time, these two albums have been cut at full length as double vinyl LP's - four sides each – making up a vinyl set that is complete in every way.   The box set offers many other special features. Most noticeable is the colored vinyl: designed for collectors, each album is afforded a different color, in keeping with its original artwork, giving a unique record-deck experience. The color discs are custom-produced especially for this set, using new material technology which ensures optimal sound quality.   There are more surprises: Queen II originally never had a designated ‘A side' or ‘B side' - but ‘Side White' and ‘Side Black'. For this new edition, the album has been cut on two separate discs, black and white, each with a custom etching on the reverse side, a nice bonus for collectors.   Queen's production team has worked extensively on all stages of this painstaking mastering process. The first step was the tape research: Locating and confirming the correct versions and best sources for all tracks. Most notably, "Under Pressure," plus five tracks on the Innuendo album, were improved hugely after the discovery of better sources during this period. Particular attention was paid to the original releases to ensure that nothing was lost or changed for the worse by reverting to earlier sources.    The 18 vinyl LP box set also comes with a lavishly illustrated 12 x 12 inch 108 page hardback book which features introductions to each album, quotes from Queen themselves, hand-written lyrics, rare photographs, memorabilia, and information on singles and videos - all made possible with unlimited access to Queen's own archive plus the personal archives of Brian May, Roger Taylor and some generous fans.
