Special Mindcrime CD/DVD Collection to Celebrate Queensryche's 25th Anniversary By Newsferatu, Writer Wednesday, April 26, 2006 @ 9:18 AM
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1981 formation of Queensr˙che, one of the world’s most acclaimed progressive metal bands, EMI will release two expanded Operation: Mindcrime
packages on June 20. A new 2-CD set adds two bonus tracks to the Platinum-certified,
Grammy-nominated 1988 album/rock opera and pairs the disc with a previously
unreleased live performance of the album’s tracks in sequence. The 2-CD+DVD
Operation: Mindcrime - Deluxe Edition, packaged in a four-panel digipak with
slipcase, contains the 2-CD set and its 24-page booklet and adds Video:
Mindcrime, making its DVD debut with two previously unreleased video clips.
The expanded 2-CD set’s first disc includes the full original album with two
bonus tracks, live renditions of “The Mission” (recorded in 1990 at the
Hammersmith Odeon in London) and “My Empty Room” (from the “Bridge” CD single).
Its second disc adds a previously unreleased live representation of the
entire Operation: Mindcrime album, recorded live at London, England’s Hammersmith
Odeon on November 15, 1990.
The 2-CD+DVD Deluxe Edition contains the 2-CD Operation: Mindcrime set plus
Video: Mindcrime, the acclaimed filmed companion to the album that spawned two
MTV favorites, “Eyes of a Stranger” and “I Don’t Believe In Love.” Video:
Mindcrime makes its DVD debut with this release, adding two previously
unreleased clips: a behind-the-scenes look at “The Making Of Operation: Mindcrime”
and an original television ad for the album.
Queensr˙che continues to record and will be back on the road
this year, with tour dates across the U.S. scheduled to begin in August.
Earlier this year, Queensr˙che launched a sold-out tour featuring the
original Operation: Mindcrime performed in its entirety with actors on stage
portraying the narrative album’s characters alongside the band. On April 4, Rhino
released Queensr˙che's new sequel album, Operation: Mindcrime II, which debuted
at #14 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. Geoff Tate has announced that
the band plans to stage performances of both Mindcrime albums in their entirety on
the upcoming tour, and that he is putting the finishing touches on a
screenplay of the original Mindcrime. For updates, please visit the band’s official
