QUEEN - THE GAME-EXPANDED COLLECTOR'S EDITION(2CD+1DVD&BLURAY+DVD-AUDIO)

The 1980 album “The Game” is now available in a 2CD & 1DVD set as the 8th installment of the “Expanded Collector's Edition,” Queen's ultimate in-depth album study series. In 1979, the single “Ai ni Namae no Desire” became the first number one single in the U.S., followed by the smash hits “Save Me” and “Play The Game”. The single “Jigoku e e michi no tsuzure” was another number one single in the U.S., and became Queen's biggest-selling single at the time, a big hit in many countries around the world. The album “The Game,” which included a series of hit singles, expanded the band's musical range from rockabilly to funk disco to new wave, and even introduced synthesizers, a change from the no-synthesizer sound that the band had dared to use in the past. This is a memorable album that marks the beginning of a new era for Queen, who were at the height of their popularity when they reached number one on the U.S. album charts and had the highest sales in their history, coupled with their largest-ever world tour. CD2 is also an “alternate album” featuring separate mixes of all songs and rare remixes. The DVD contains the same remixes as the previous releases in the series, plus a DVD with a multi-audio selection that allows you to compare and contrast four different multi-audio selections, including remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mix, instrumental karaoke tracks, vocal main tracks, and more. The “Audio Album” includes a 5.1 surround mix, an instrumental karaoke track, a vocal main track, and a “Video Collection” that includes different versions of the promo video, TV and live footage, and more. In addition, a limited edition of 100 sets will be released at the same time, including a Blu-ray and DVD audio 2-disc set! In addition to the contents of the full-length DVD, you can also enjoy a Blu-ray disc containing additional ultra-high-quality high-resolution sound recordings and a DVD disc that reproduces the complete DVD audio version, which is currently hard to find and at a premium. The Expanded Collector's Edition is the latest in a series of “ultimate in-depth album studies” that delve into the albums in the same maniacal way as before, and is not to be missed!

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. ” Video Collection” features promo videos for the four singles ‘Play the Game,’ ‘Ai to na na no Desire,’ ‘Jigoku e michi no tsuzure,’ and ‘Save Me,’ as well as rare making-of scenes for each song, plus a rare sound check of ‘Ai to na no desire’ that was only broadcast once before on the BBC. In addition to promo videos for the four singles of “Love, Dave, Me,” and rare making-of scenes for each song, the album also includes a rare sound check video of “Lust in the Name of Love,” which was broadcast once on the BBC, Saturday Night Live footage, and selected live footage from South America, London and Japan.

The disc also includes an additional “Hi-Res Audio” section featuring ultra-high quality high-resolution sound sources. The audio sampling rate is 96kHz/24bit, and two types of audio sources can be played back by switching between the high-resolution stereo remastered sound source and the Mobile Fidelity disc that was released in limited quantities in 1994. The DVD Audio version, which was released only in the U.K. and the U.S. in 2003 and is now hard to find and at a premium, is reproduced in its original DVD format, with 5.1 surround sound (not playable on normal DVD players > Dolby Digital 5.1 on DVD and Blu-ray), which can only be played on the DVD audio standard. This is a premier collector's item that includes three types of sound sources: 5.1 Surround Sound, which can only be played on the DVD audio format (not on regular DVD players > Dolby Digital 5.1 on DVD and Blu-ray), DTS 5.1 Surround Sound and PCM Stereo on the DVD video format, which can be played on regular DVD players. This collector's edition is the “ultimate in-depth study of the album” and includes all the related sound and video material from the “The Game” album, as well as the Blu-ray and DVD audio.
