Queen


"The Complete Works" is a box set released by the British rock band Queen in 1985. It comprises all the band's albums to that point, including mini albums and bonus tracks, spanning the years from their eponymous 1973 debut album to 1985's record-breaking "A Made in Heaven", posthumously released after frontman Freddie Mercury's death. The box set includes 14 vinyl records – 11 studio albums, a non-album tracks collection, and a couple EPs – stored in a unique black and gold display case. Additionally, it holds a 'Complete Vision' booklet which includes all the lyrics for Queen's tracks, as well as comments, quotes, and biographical information on the band. The set features the notable "Queen Live Killers" album and iconic records like "A Night at the Opera" and "A Day at the Races" which contain some Queen's biggest hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody To Love", and "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions". Despite being released more than a decade after Queen's debut, "The Complete Works" box set was met with commercial and critical success, thanks to the band's perennial popularity and reputation as one of the most innovative and influential bands in rock history.
