The Crown Jewels is a box set by Queen which comprises their first eight studio albums--Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, News of the World, Jazz and The Game--in sleeves replicating the original vinyl packaging. A lyric booklet is also included. All the albums have been remastered. The box set market the 25 anniversary of the group's existence dated to the release of their first album. The first eight albums are hailed extremely more in the U.S. than the rest of their catalogue because, except for "The Game," this was the era of "no use of synthesizers" in any of the Queen songs.
