Queen / “The Platinum Collection” special steelbook edition

platinum

In Germany, Universal Music have just released Queen‘s Platinum Collection three-CD greatest hits set in the kind of limited edition packaging normally reserved for home cinema releases on DVD and blu-ray.

This so-called ‘steelbook’ edition is literally the three discs and accompanying booklet housed in a metal casing, and these have proved very popular among some film fans who are prepared to pay a premium for good design and solid construction.

Whether this will catch on for audio releases remains to be seen. This Queen set is not overly striking with a fairly plain presentation of the Queen logo and ‘crest’ on the front of the hinged metal case. It also appears to be something of a trial, given the fact that it’s not available in the UK or other territories.

Does this kind of packaging interest or appeal to you? Leave a comment and let us know.
