The Christmas Eve show was the climax of the 26-date Queen Invite You To A Night At The Opera Tour, which had begun mid-November and had already seen the band play four nights at the same venue a month earlier. Their fourth album, A Night At The Opera (the most expensive record ever made to that point) found Queen's grandiose vision coalescing into a breathtaking set of songs and ushered the band into a seat at rock's top table (just three days after the concert, A Night At The Opera reached the top of the UK album charts). Their single "Bohemian Rhapsody" – universally hailed as one of the most ground-breaking 'pop' songs ever released – was in the middle of its record-breaking nine week run at #1 in the UK charts. And the energy we had comes across very forcefully."įeaturing 15 tracks from their first four visionary albums, plus covers of four classic rock'n'roll staples delivered with characteristic panache, A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith 1975 captures a band in full flight and radiating megawatts of self-confidence. "The quality, after great rescue work and transfer into the digital domain, is amazing. "This concert was very special because it was the first time we ever played a whole show completely live on TV … the Christmas Show," says Brian May. The Super Deluxe Box Set is available for pre-order now. As well as a live recording of this legendary gig, the Super Deluxe Box Set also includes extra-special bonus features for the Queen fans. On November 20, Queen - A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith 1975 will be released on CD, 2 LP vinyl, Super Deluxe Box Set and digitally through Hollywood Records and DVD, SD Blu-Ray through Eagle Rock Entertainment. Forty years later, this groundbreaking show officially takes to the world stage.
