Queen have announced a newly mixed, mastered, expanded reissue of their 1973 self-titled debut album.Arriving on October 25, the reimagined version of the band’s breakthrough record comes over half a century after its initial release.

It has been remixed and restored by Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae and Kris Fredriksson to fit in with the sound that the members always wanted it to have.Having formed in 1970 with vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, bassist John Deacon joined the line-up the following year, and they began work on the debut record.“The first three years were really faith and fumes.

We were penniless but we had a lot of belief in ourselves and a lot of energy,” Taylor said, recalling their time working on the initial release.“We’d arrive [at the studio] at three in the morning and then go on, for all the hours that we could grab.

It was just a grind. I wouldn’t say it was soul-destroying because we were quite confident. We had a sort of innate, gentle arrogance, you know, we thought we were good and quite different.”As well as delivering a remixed and remastered version of the original tracklist, the reissue also comes with an abundance of new material.
