This is a DVD-Audio reissue of Queen's 1975 album, remixed into 5.1 surround sound, full details of which can be found here. The 30th Anniversary reissue of the album also features 10 of the above surround sound mixes, and two different ones, but this was released as a standard DVD rather than DVD-Audio.

The release allows the lyrics to each song to be displayed, with or without the song itself playing. It also features the video to 'Bohemian Rhapsody', a photo gallery, showing the 11 photographs from the original album sleeve, a song selection menu, and various credits, divided into album credits (with a unique excerpt of 'Seaside Rendezvous'), stereo credits (with a unique instrumental excerpt of 'I'm In Love With My Car'), 5.1 credits (with an excerpt of 'The Prophet's Song'), DVD credits (with a unique instrumental excerpt of 'Sweet Lady'), special thanks (with a unique instrumental excerpt of 'Bohemian Rhapsody') and finally information about the DTS group (which includes two short excerpts of 'Good Company', one a unique instrumental, one a short excerpt).


The release also includes a 'hidden' group (number 9) which can only be accessed by entering a 4 digit password. This is not mentioned anywhere on the release, but according to the DTS group it contains information relating to the menus and the disc structure.

This release (which has a black spine and border) has a 5.1 surround sound mix produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Brian May. Some sources suggest that there was another disc released in the USA in 2001, with a blue spine/border, which contains a 4 channel mix by Elliot Scheiner (without Brian), and that the disc was withdrawn as Brian was unhappy with it. However, I cannot confirm whether this is correct, and if so, what the differences are. If the disc was released, it now seems very difficult to get hold of.
