This limited, remastered box set deluxe edition (three-part / in cigarette box style) comes with a bonus CD named "Queen Live On Air" featuring highlights from three broadcast radio recordings: "Queen live in Golders Green Hippodrome" of September 1973 – the first concert ever to be broadcast by radio in band history. The set also contains an exciting selection of radio interviews, as well with the whole band as with the individual musicians - originating from completely different times between 1976 and 1992. "Queen on air: The interviews" (3 CDs) offers three and a half enthralling hours – the essence of interesting conversations held between 1976-1992 for the BBC and for Capital Radio in London, and it also contains the very last interview Brian, John, Freddie, and Roger gave together. With a playing time of 220 minutes, the 17 interviews represent important milestones in the history of the band Queen. Furthermore, the package also features a 36-page booklet composed with love and diligence by Queen archivist Greg Brooks: it is packed with rare photos and accompanying texts with memories from the band and the BBC producers Jeff Griffin and Bernie Andrews, plus original comments of the legendary Radio 1 DJs John Peel and Bob Harris from the time of the original programmes.

Queens comet-like rise in the 1970s is well-documented. Starting with their impressively ambitious eponymous debut album of 1973 to "A night at the opera 1975", the album that made them super stars for ever, and longer - this band took a very unique path. Between February 1973 and October 1977, Queen recorded six radio sessions exclusively for the BBC. Among the 24 musical milestones generated by these sessions, there were - to name a few - alternative versions of the debut single, unique recordings of legendary album tracks, and even an extremely modified version of one of their most popular smashers that has never before been featured on any other studio release by Queen. This "Queen On air" collection contains all six of Queen's BBC sessions for the first time. Queen's sound engineer Kris Frederiksson has restored the recordings with love and diligence, and Grammy Award winner Adam Ayan has done the mastering. "Queen on air" is much more than a mere collection of rare recordings - it's a fascinating insight into the development and rise of a legend.
