Regular price ¥4,500

Tax included.

A Night at the Opera”, the fourth in the ‘Expanded Collector's Edition’ series of Queen's ultimate in-depth album studies, is now available as a special 2CD & DVD + Blu-ray set! This is the fourth in the “Expanded Collector's Edition” series of in-depth studies of Queen's classic albums, and it includes the immortal single “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the overwhelmingly accomplished “A Night at the Opera,” which became Queen's first UK #1 album, a million-seller in the US, and a global superstar in both name and reality. The CD includes the “Complete Album Remixed and Remastered”, a meticulously edited restoration of the entire album, and the “Alternate Night at the Opera”, a collection of rare recordings, multi-track audio and related footage. The CD contains the “Complete Album Remixed & Remastered” and “Alternate Album,” both of which are meticulously restored versions of the entire album, as well as numerous alternate versions and multi-track remixes of songs from the album, rare demos and other rare material, including first appearances and upgrades, on two separate CDs. The DVD includes all the tracks in remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mix, instrumental karaoke tracks, vocal main tracks, and four other multi audio selections to compare and contrast. In addition to the “Audio Album” and the “Complete Video Album,” which features video recordings of all the songs on the album, a “Video Collection” includes a different version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and a “Vocal Main Tracks” version of the album. The “Video Collection” includes different versions of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and other songs. In addition, the Blu-ray version of this special limited collection includes the same content as the DVD in HD, as well as the now rare first press “2001 Original Mix” and “2002 Revamped Mix” as high-resolution multi-channel sound sources. The “2001 Original Mix” and the “2002 Revised Mix” are also included. You can compare the different mixes with stereo headphones. As in the past, “A Night at the Opera” is now available in the Expanded Collector's Edition, the fourth volume in the “Ultimate Album Study Series” that delves into the album in a maniacal and in-depth way that should not be missed!

[SELLING POINT]
The first half of CD1 features the “Complete Album Remixed and Remastered,” the latest edited, remixed and remastered versions of all the tracks on the album. The first half of CD1 contains the latest edited remixes and remasters of all songs on the album, with different stereo separation and balance compared to the originals. The second half is “Alternate Versions and Remasters 1,” a collection of alternate versions, multi-track remixes, demos, and more.

The first half of CD2 is “Complete Album Reconstructions,” which features alternate mixes of the entire album, including the rare studio outtakes of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Brian's acoustic solo, and more. Unlike the “Remixes and Remasters” on CD1, the first half of CD2 features naked mixes of the tracks, which are multi-tracked and reduced in number of notes. The second half of the album features the “alternates”, which are the “alternatives” to the “remixed and remastered” tracks. The second half of the album is “Alternate Versions and Remasters 2,” which includes even more rare recordings. The DVD contains the same audio album as before, with lyric videos of all songs with real-time lyrics, remastered stereo with multi-audio selection, 5.1 surround mixes, and instrumental tracks. 

The DVD contains four audio options for comparison: remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mix, instrumental tracks, and vocal main tracks. Not only for the maniacal comparison of sound sources, you can also play the instrumental tracks to enjoy karaoke along with the video, or check out the songs and chorus with the vocal main tracks, where Freddie's vocals are the main focus and the performance is kept to a minimum. ” The “Complete Video Album” is a complete video recording of the entire album made for the 30th anniversary in 2005, newly remastered in stereo, and includes all of the songs from the album. The “Video Collection” also includes the original masters of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the BBC broadcast version, and other versions of the album. The Blu-ray version of the Special Limited Collection includes the same content as the DVD in high-definition HD, and the Blu-ray version also includes the rare Elliott Shiner's “First Rare 2001”, which was previously released on DVD audio but is now out of print and hard to find. The rare 2001 original 5.1 mix by Elliott Shiner and the 2002 remixed mix by Brian May are also included. The differences between the two mixes can be compared by switching the audio options on the 5.1 surround playback as well as on the normal stereo playback. The total playback time of this Blu-ray collection is more than 5 hours, including the audio files, which are now hard to obtain.
