On November 20, Queen – A Night At The Odeon – Hammersmith 1975 is released on CD, DVD, SD Blu-Ray, 2 LP vinyl, Super Deluxe Box Set and digitally through Virgin EMI. As well as a live recording of this legendary gig, the packages also include extra-special bonus features for the Queen fans.“This concert was very special because it was the first time we ever played a whole show completely live on TV … the Christmas Show,” says Brian May. “The quality, after great rescue work and transfer into the digital domain, is amazing. And the energy we had comes across very forcefully.”Featuring 15 tracks from their first four visionary albums, plus covers of four classic rock’n’roll staples delivered with characteristic panache, A Night At The Odeon – Hammersmith 1975 captures a band in full flight and radiating megawatts of self-confidence.QUEEN – A NIGHT AT THE ODEONRecorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 24th December 1975Limited edition Super Deluxe Box Set**This is the first time Bohemian Rhapsody has ever been on 12″ and it is the first time any audio from a soundcheck has ever been released.CD:BLU-RAY + DVD:Blu-ray + DVD Bonus Items:LIVE IN JAPAN ’75Recorded live at the Budokan, Tokyo, 1st May 1975LOOKING BACK AT THE ODEONPreviously unreleased 22 minute documentary40TH ANNIVERSARY 12″ VINYL SINGLE:SIDE A:SIDE B:**Previously unreleased recording from the afternoon of 24th December 1975Note: The ‘A Night At The Odeon – Hammersmith 1975 (Super Deluxe Box Set) will be dispatched by courier delivery only
