North American Queen set offers great balance of price and content

queen_cd+bluray

With the forthcoming super deluxe edition Queen Live at the Rainbow ’74 still north of £100 on Amazon UK, fans who can live without the book or the memorabilia – or simply don’t have the funds for such an investment – should seriously consider the ‘North American’ exclusive Blu-ray+CD as an alternative.

This set is a unique combo of the single CD edition which contains the 24-track November Rainbow show and the blu-ray of the same show which includes four bonus tracks from the March Rainbow gig.

Although this is an “SD-Blu-ray”, which basically means DVD picture quality rather than HD, you still get HD audio which is a significant benefit. The audio and visuals have been newly remixed and restored. The SDE box is the only other set that combines these two formats but whereas at current prices the Blu-ray + CD bundle is around £16 ($27) the SDE is currently £112 in the UK. A significant saving even once you’ve budgeted for shipping and potential import duty.

We are assured that the blu-ray is region free/zero so that should not be a concern for those in Europe purchasing from the States.

A full breakdown of the purchasing options can be found in this post. Queen Live at the Rainbow ’74 will be released on 8 September 2014.
