Queen have announced a limited edition immersive Dolby Atmos release of the debut album, Queen I, set to be available on Audiophile Blu-ray on June 13th.

This new release arrives in the U.S. by Sony Music and Universal Music Group for the rest of the world.

“There are now a few nice adventurous Easter eggs in there, which those who know the album intimately will hopefully enjoy,” said Queen lead guitarist and co-founder Brian May.

He adds, “I’m particularly excited about this new Dolby Atmos version of what we now call QUEEN 1. When the boys were converting the stereo rebuild into a surround experience, I was unable to be there, due to a health hiccup. So I was very happy to have the opportunity to go back in with them recently and add my own contribution to this multichannel mix. There are now a few nice adventurous Easter eggs in there, which those who know the album intimately will hopefully enjoy. So the Blu-ray version is an update from the version that has currently been available to stream. Nobody has ever heard our first album quite like this !!!”

With May and Roger Taylor acting as executive producers and overseen by Queen’s long-standing audio-production team of Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J Macrae and Kris Fredriksson, this enhanced spatial surround sound format release breathes stunning new life into the band’s epic and unique multi-layered sound.

Originally released in 1973 and featuring the iconic lineup of Freddie Mercury, May, Taylor and John Deacon, Queen’s self-titled debut album marked the start of the band’s stellar journey.
