Queen will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their 1977 album 'News Of The World' by releasing a special box set later this year.
The collection, which is out on November 17, will include the original album, two discs of recently unearthed out-takes and rarities, and a new documentary, Queen: The American Dream, which features backstage footage filmed during their 1977 US tour. The collection also features an alternative version of the whole record called 'Raw Sessions'.
Queen will also celebrate the anniversary of the album with a limited edition picture disc, which is only available via pre-order through their online store. Head here for details.
The announcement of the release arrives a day prior to what would have been Freddie Mercury's 71st birthday. The vocalist died on November 24, 1991 aged 45.
UPDATE 08/09: The band have shared a trailer for the box set.
