Queen – Queen II
This grouping gathers together all versions of the "Queen II" album, released originally in 1974 on vinyl and tape, as well as subsequent repressings.
Officially, the entire back catalogue was re-issued for the first time on CD in 1986, and again on CD/tape in remastered form in 1991 for the US market (via Hollywood Records and adding a few non-album tracks or remixes not included on the original versions).
Parlophone also re-issued the remastered versions in 1993/1994, and subsequently several additional re-remastered versions (some in 5.1 DTS) have appeared.
Starting 2009, the entire back catalogue of studio albums (newly remastered) is being re-released again, this time on heavyweight vinyl. CD versions appeared in 2011 as standard and "Deluxe Edition" (the latter including a 2nd disc with sparse bonus tracks).
