Queen is offering up the first preview of the upcoming reissue of their sophomore album, Queen II.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers just released the 2026 mix of "Seven Seas Of Rhye" to digital outlets. The song was the band's first U.K. top-10 hit, peaking at #10 in 1974.

Queen II Collector's Edition, dropping March 27, is a five-CD + two-LP box set, featuring the 2026 mix of the album along with a whole host of bonus material.

Extras include previously unheard outtakes and demos, live tracks, radio sessions and what’s described as “intimate fly-on-the-wall audio of Queen in the recording studio.” The set also features a 112-page book with previously unseen photos, handwritten lyrics, the band's memories of writing and recording the album and more.

The Queen II reissue will also be released as a two-CD deluxe edition and on one-LP vinyl. All formats are available for preorder now.
