Celebrate the glory of Queen at 25 with Hollywood Records' The Crown Jewels, a boxed set featuring Queen's first eight albums. Each CD has been meticulously remastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios from the original U.K. master tapes, under the supervision of the band members themselves.
The Crown Jewels includes 90 songs in all -- classics like "Keep Yourself Alive," "Killer Queen," "Stone Cold Crazy," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love," "Bicycle Race," "We Are the Champions," "We Will Rock You," "Sheer Heart Attack," "Fat Bottomed Girls," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - and is studded with bonuses. There's a special booklet with lyrics, rare photographs, and essays by noted rock historians, plus elements not part of the original CD reissues, such as embossed covers and the famous nude bicycle race poster.
It wasn't just that nobody else sounded like Queen - it's that no one else could. Led by the flamboyant, charismatic Freddie Mercury and incorporating elements of vaudevillian music hall, opera, blues, and hard, guitar-driven rock, Queen forged a unique bombastic style and towered as one of the greatest, most influential rock bands of all time.
