Queen's guitarist Brian May announced that the band has signed new contract with Universal Music Group. That means the end of long-time collaboration with EMI, which has started 40 years ago.
The main part of the new agreement is the reissue of all of the Queen's studio albums. Each one will come out as remastered version featuring additional content. The first five albums – Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races – will be re-released in March 2010, with other coming during the year.
Brian May said: "We are very excited, after all this time, to be embarking on a new phase of our career – with a new record company – with new ideas, and new dreams".
Queen released 15 studio albums during their career (including soundtrack album Flash Gordon). They were sold over 300 million copies worldwide.
