The Orb (USB Gift Box)

~ Release by Queen (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Defining Queen’s regal rule over the music record books of the past 40 years is the Queen Orb USB Gift Box: a luxurious black velvet lined gift box inside which is found a majestic golden orb emblazoned with a Queen logo and gothic designs. The top crest, modelled on the famous Queen logo, removes to reveal a USB drive containing all of Queen’s 15 remastered studio albums in audiophile quality, and a photo gallery. Inside the orb lies a gold‐plated Queen crest pendant necklace resting in a red velvet collector’s bag.

Audio comes in WAV (48/24) and MP3 (320 kbps) formats.

Limited to 5000 units worldwide.
