8-disc box set (1LP/5CD/1DVD/1BD) Hollywood Records
OVERALL RATING
Queen was still on fire as the 1980s came to a close. After taking a three-year break following the crest of their Live Aid/ combo carpet ride, Queen dropped album—a vibrant 10-track collection that fused the best of the four-piece British band’s inherently anthemic nature (“I Want It All”) alongside of-era production elements, albeit sometimes with a feisty twist (“Scandal”). And now, a new 13 x 1.5 x 13-inch shiny black-hued multidisc box set, The Miracle Collector’s Edition, properly fetes an album that might be less celebrated stateside than internationally, but is no less an impactful entry in the band’s ever-impressive oeuvre.
