Description

This auction is for a the Complete Works 14 LP boxset by the one and only Queen.(see below for brief history and LP listing)

This set has never been played and the record sleeves and accompaning books/map are all in fantastic condition.

The outer black box does have some minor wear and tear purely due to the age of this set but nothing that detracts from the overall greatness of this collection and certainly nothing that would mean you couldnt display it for the world to see.

Following the 1985 Live Aid concert, Queen found themselves in a creative period. While spending only 20+ minutes onstage before the whole world, some felt that Queen had stolen the show. In the wake of this unexpected turn, Freddie called on the other band members, to go into the studio and record a song together. Until this point, all but a handful of songs were recorded by the individual members (and occasional duo-songwriting credits): "Stone Cold Crazy", "Under Pressure" (with David Bowie) and "Soul Brother". The result of this enthusiastic session was "One Vision" and its remixed B-side "Blurred Vision" being released as a single worldwide.

On December 2, Parlophone Records released what was then the definitive Queen boxed set: all of Queen's 11 original studio albums, their live album "Live Killers", and an extra disc titled "Complete Vision", which contained all the non-album A-sides and B-sides to that point. The band signed only 600 copies (on the "Complete Vision" sleeve), which have now become collectors' items. This was a 14 LP box; and in addition, the box featured two books, the first with all the albums' artwork, lyrics and pictures; the other had a color world map showing where Queen played and charted, and a world tour itinerary up to that time, showing a list of equipment they carried with them. Each album was digitally remastered and resleeved in white with an embossed Crest and gold Roman numerals.

Complete vision (album)

Bonus LP that came with the "Complete Works" boxed set in 1985 and tidied up the non-album a-sides and b-sides at the time. Oddly, both 33rpm and 45prm versions of the album exist.
