Notes:
This grouping gathers together all versions of the seminal "A Night At The Opera" album, originally released in 1975 on vinyl and tape, as well as subsequent repressings and bootleg versions.
Officially, the entire back catalogue was re-issued for the first time on CD in 1986, and again on CD/tape in remastered form in 1991 for the US market (via Hollywood Records and adding a few non-album tracks or remixes not included on the original versions).
Parlophone also re-issued the remastered versions in 1993/1994, and subsequently several additional re-remastered versions (some in glorious 5.1 DTS) have appeared.
In 2005, a lovingly-assembled "30th Anniversary Collectors Edition" was released to some fanfare on LP/CD/DVD-Audio.
Starting 2009, the entire back catalogue of studio albums (now remastered) is being re-released again, this time on heavyweight vinyl.
