Recensie
3CD + DVD + 12” LP SUPER DELUXE
News Of The World was het antwoord van Queen op de punkrock die eind jaren zeventig de wereld veroverde. Vergeleken met de voorgangers heeft het album dan ook een minder theatraal en meer mainstream rockgeluid, waarop het gitaarspel van Brian May de boventoon voert. Voorbeelden daarvan zijn nummers als Sheer Heart Attack en It’s Late. Maar naast rock zijn op het zesde studio-album van de band ook andere invloeden te horen, zoals blues (Sleeping On The Sidewalk), jazz (My Melancholy Blues), latin (Who Needs You) en zelfs disco (Fight From The Inside). Toch zal News Of The World vooral bekend blijven als het album van We Will Rock You en We Are The Champions, de beide Queen-klassiekers die in 1977 als dubbele A-kant op single werden uitgebracht. De 40th Anniversary Edition van News Of The World bestaat uit een super deluxe editie: drie cd’s (met het geremasterde album, Raw Sessions en Bonus Tracks), een dvd met de documentaire The American Dream, een elpee met de analoge versie van het album, een 60-pagina’s tellend boek met niet eerder uitgebrachte foto’s, persinformatie, drie posters, een stickervel en een gelamineerde tourpas. Een must voor de echte Queen-liefhebber!
• CD 1: News Of The World (2011 Bob Ludwig Remaster - Running time 40 minutes)
• CD 2: Raw Sessions - This disc will be hugely exciting to anyone who loves this album. Here, for the first time in its 40-year history, are eleven previously unreleased gems. The Raw Sessions offers fascinating alternative versions of every song on the album, with 99% of the lead vocals and lead guitar previously unheard. There are also a great many variations in the backing tracks, with some that are totally different to the familiar album versions. Additionally, we get to hear Freddie singing songs we’ve never heard him sing before, which will come as a major shock to fans (as they did to the band too, who’d forgotten about them!). Ten recordings from the original studio sessions and one live song from the 1977 U.S. tour, presented in the familiar running order (Running time approximately 43 minutes)
• CD 3: Bonus Tracks - Although the items on this disc have been released previously, several have been hard to find up until now and all are included to make this a truly definitive News Of The World package. It comprises Queen’s entire (five song) session for the BBC recorded in October 1977, on the same day the album was released, seven stunning concert performances of News Of The World tracks (spanning 1977-1982), five rare backing tracks, including ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘We Are The Champions’ and ‘Spread Your Wings’, the seldom heard ‘It's Late’ U.S. Radio Edit from 1978, and ‘Feelings Feelings’, recorded during the original album sessions, but not used at the time (19 tracks - Running time approximately 68 minutes)
• DVD: Queen: The American Dream - Band new documentary featuring previously unreleased footage from Queen’s famous 1977 show in Houston, Texas (Running time approximately 60 minutes)
• VINYL LP: News Of The World - New Pure Analogue Cut from the Original Master Tapes (Running time 40 minutes)
• 60 page hardcover book with previously unreleased photographs
• Original News Of The World Press Kit featuring original album PR and 7 press photos
• 3 posters
• Sticker sheet
• 1977 tour laminate
A special box set of Queen's landmark 1977 album News of the World is here, marking the 40th anniversary of the original release.
The new package includes the original album on CD, plus two further CDs of recently unearthed out-takes and rarities from the band's archives, one of which is a newly created ‘alternative’ version of the whole album – Raw Sessions.
For many Queen devotees, this Raw Sessions CD will be the most intriguing component of the new release. Mined deep from long-vaulted studio multi-track tapes, this extraordinary parallel album brings to light never-before-heard alternative versions of each of the album’s 11 tracks. Every lead vocal is different, as are most of the lead guitar parts and a great many other instrumental details. Here we experience We Are The Champions anew, with many unfamiliar vocal and instrumental elements, and for the first time at its full-recorded length rather than the edited 1977 album cut. Here also is the chance to discover peak era Freddie Mercury vocals on a track that nobody outside Queen’s inner circle has heard him sing before at all – Brian May’s All Dead, All Dead. The original album version features May himself on vocals. Roger Taylor’s Sheer Heart Attack can be heard with its original long-lost guitar intro and uncut ending. Taylor’s other song, Fight From The Inside, is more remarkable in that we hear his demo vocal worked on in his home studio in preparation for the next sessions.
Another outstanding feature of this weighty 40th anniversary box is a pure analogue re-cut of the original vinyl LP, direct from the unmastered analogue master mix tapes. There is also a rich selection of NOTW related memorabilia including three posters and a 60-page book of images, mostly previously unseen.
The package is completed with a brand new one-hour DVD documentary, Queen : The American Dream, created from backstage material filmed during Queen’s 1977 USA News of the World tour.
