The 18 coloured vinyl records will be sold in a special box for å£285 with an illustrated 108-page book featuring material from Queen's archive and the personal archive's of Brian May and Roger Taylor. Each record was pressed at the Optimal vinyl plant in Germany, known for its heavyweight 180g audiophile vinyl releases.
