10-19-2005 – Blabbermouth – ANATO 30th Anniversary

Billboard.com is reporting that QUEEN’s 1975 album “A Night at the Opera” will arrive in a 30th anniversary collector’s edition Nov. 22 via Hollywood Records. The original CD, best known for “Bohemian Rhapsody”, features remastered audio. An accompanying DVD features a DTS 5.1 Surround Sound mix plus track-by-track commentary from QUEEN’s original four members, including archival interviews with the late Freddie Mercury.

Beyond restored versions of the clips for “Rhapsody” and “You’re My Best Friend”, videos have been created for the other album tracks out of vintage live performance clips and rare photographs.

QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS will play the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles next Saturday (October 22) before moving on to dates in Japan. The group is planning an extensive North American tour for next year.

QUEEN did a very successful European tour earlier this year, which was captured on the recent live album “Return of the Champions”.

In addition to the live album, a “Return of the Champions” DVD is also on the way.
