Queen / Queen I blu-ray audio with Atmos Mix
Region-free blu-ray • Queen I 2024 Mix • Dolby Atmos Mix • Hi-Res Stereo • Hi-Res Backing tracks
Following on from the Queen I box set of last year, the 2024 remix of Queen's 1973 debut album is being released in Dolby Atmos on a limited edition audiophile blu-ray audio.
"This is not just a remaster, this is a brand new 2024 rebuild of the entire Queen debut album” said Brian May when announcing the release of the band’s revisit of their eponymous debut album late last year, retitled Queen I for this new version.
May further elaborated: “Every instrument has been revisited to produce the ‘live’ ambient sound we would have liked to use originally.”
With Brian May and Roger Taylor acting as executive producers, and overseen by Queen’s long-standing audio-production team of Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae and Kris Fredriksson, this enhanced spatial surround sound format release breathes stunning new life into the band’s epic and unique multi-layered sound.
Says Justin Shirley-Smith: “It always feels like Queen’s music was designed for immersive formats. It’s dramatic and powerful and has a lot of dynamics. The original album was recorded more than 50 years ago, but it was so ambitious musically, rhythmically and lyrically. It’s beyond belief really, and it’s such a joy for us to work on.”
The audio streams on this blu-ray are
- Queen I - 2024 Mix - Dolby Atmos
- Queen I - 2024 Mix - Stereo (96kHz/24bit)
- Queen I - 2024 Mix - Stereo Backing Tracks (96kHz/24bit)
Brian May has confirmed that the Atmos Mix on the blu-ray is updated from the version that has been on streaming:
Says Brian May: “i'm particularly excited about this new Dolby Atmos version of what we now call QUEEN 1. When the boys were converting the stereo rebuild into a surround experience, I was unable to be there, due to a health hiccup. So I was very happy to have the opportunity to go back in with them recently and add my own contribution to this multichannel mix. There are now a few nice adventurous Easter eggs in there, which those who know the album intimately will hopefully enjoy. So the Blu-ray version is an update from the version that has currently been available to stream. Nobody has ever heard our first album quite like this !!!”
Queen I will be released on this limited audiophile blu-ray on 13 June 2025.
