Description of set:
The set is housed in a gold coloured box with a flip-open lid. The box has the Queen name in logo form on the front and STUDIO COLLECTION just beneath, along with the Queen crest near the bottom.
This box comes in an outer slip case, this time black with the same design in gold on the front with a gold border. The rear shows the package contents, the sides list the LP names (and a bar code on one side).
All the LPs come with printed inner sleeves as well as polylined protective inner sleeves. The LPs themselves are also in individual cellophane covers.
The hardback book is the same size as an LP, although thicker of course, with black cover and gold logo/text/crest.
Finally there is also a Back To Black coupon for full digital download of all the tracks.
