Queen Kick Off 40th Anniversary (A Top Story)


.
On Monday Queen Kick Off 40th Anniversary was a top story. Here is the recap: (Universal) Queen's 40th anniversary is now upon us, and the band plans to pull out all the stops to celebrate this historic occasion.

"2011 is an important year for Queen," said Brian May "and there will be a lot of activity." Adds Roger Taylor, I can't believe it's been that long and that we are still around in such a big way. I'm amazed and grateful!" This yearlong event will be marked by a series of releases, re-releases, special limited-edition items and events around the world.

As the centerpiece in the 40th anniversary celebration, Queen's entire 15-album studio catalog is being reissued in a series of deluxe editions. Every note is being tweaked, every piece of artwork is being cleaned, freshened up and resourced, wherever necessary, with the legendary Bob Ludwig doing the remastering, working from the original source material. The albums will be released in three waves, staggered over the next year, with the first wave�comprising the first five LPs�coming this spring. - more on this story
