This quote is taking from the product listing on Queen online
"Queen are proud to announce the re-release over two years of the entire Queen studio album catalogue on remastered long playing heavyweight vinyl albums. The album packaging will include every detail of the original releases in their original 12” format. Bonus posters, extra pictures, and all the unique content of the original albums will be faithfully reproduced.
The first wave of releases will consist of the classic Queen albums A Night At The Opera, A Day At the Races, Sheer Heart Attack and Queen II.
Following in May 2009 will be five further albums including the very first album, Queen, along with News Of The World, Flash Gordon, A Kind of Magic and Innuendo, with successive releases coming approximately every 6 months.
In a deliberate move, the albums are not being released chronologically but instead sequenced over the twenty-two year period of release allowing buyers wider choice with each new wave of releases".
I already got the first wave (Queen II, ANATO, Races and SHA) from Best Buy. They sound much worse than the CDs that we all own, but it is cool owning the large 12" packaging again. They should re-release all the packaging, and include a fabulous remaster of the CD instead of the vinyl.
