English rock band Queen has announced plans to re-release all of its studio albums over the course of the next two years on vinyl record. From first album ‘Queen’ right through to the 2008 effort ‘The Cosmos Rocks’ which features Paul Rodgers providing vocal duties; all albums are now to be re-released on vinyl record, making the entire collection available to own on vinyl for the very first time.

It’s an interesting move for Queen to have taken, and it’s sure to please many fans that they’ll be given the opportunity to own the entire Queen back-catalogue on vinyl. Including ‘The Cosmos Rocks’ from Queen + Paul Rodgers; a total of sixteen studio albums will be made available to own on vinyl, starting with the five albums of ‘Queen’, ‘Sheer Heart Attack’, ‘A Night At The Opera’, ‘A Day At the Races’, and ‘The Cosmos Rocks’ as the first batch of records to be put to vinyl. Every six months Hollywood Records will be releasing further Queen studio albums on vinyl until all sixteen have been re-released and are out there on the market and available to buy.

Queen was active as a band between the years of 1970 and 1997, since 2005 former Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor have joined forces with Paul Rodgers however and now make music under the guise of Queen + Paul Rodgers. It’ll be interesting to see how some fans react to the inclusion of ‘The Cosmos Rocks’ as one of the studio albums to be released on vinyl; for most though, I’m sure it’ll just be pleasing to see that all fifteen Queen studio albums are to be put out there on the market in this format.
