Queen / A Night at the Odeon: Hammersmith 1975 super deluxe
This November, Virgin EMI will officially release the much-bootlegged concert film Queen A Night at the Odeon – Hammersmith 1975 across a wide number of audio and video formats including a limited super deluxe edition box set.
The Christmas concert (24th December) in the famous West London venue was the culmination of the 26-date ‘Queen invite you to A Night At The Opera’ UK tour of 1975.
The show was originally broadcast on BBC 2 and BBC Radio 1, although the TV crew clearly didn’t understand about encores, since they’d packed up their cameras before Queen played Seven Seas Of Rhye and See What A Fool I’ve Been – hence no film footage of those songs!
This will be issued on individual CD, DVD, blu-ray and gatefold 2LP editions as well as combo CD+Blu-ray and CD+DVD sets, although fans will be tempted by the super deluxe edition which comes in a lift-off lid box with the following content:
- • 1 CD of A Night at the Odeon – Hammersmith 1975
- • 1 SD blu-ray of A Night at the Odeon – Hammersmith 1975
- • 1 DVD of A Night at the Odeon – Hammersmith 1975
- • 12″ single of Bohemian Rhapsody with unreleased soundcheck of Now I’m Here
- • 60 page hardback book containing previously unseen photographs
- • Reproduction of ticket from the concert
- • Concert programme
