QUEENSRŸCHE’s ‘The Warning’ To Be Reissued On Limited-Edition 180-Gram Audiophile Vinyl

QUEENSRŸCHE’s classic first full-length album, “The Warning”, which was originally released on September 7, 1984, will be reissued on limited-edition 180-gram audiophile vinyl with a gatefold cover on  February 14, 2012.

You can now pre-order the item at Amazon.com.

“The Warning” was re-released on May 6, 2003 with three bonus tracks.

When asked about QUEENSRŸCHE’s plans following the band’s last scheduled concert of 2012, which will
take place on January 13 at the Peppermill Concert Hall in Wendover,
Nevada, singer Geoff Tate told the Seattle station KISW 99.9 FM earlier this month, “Nothing. We’re taking a year off and we’ll be
working on a new album. [We’ll be going] back to the studio.”

QUEENSRŸCHE’s latest album, “Dedicated To Chaos”, sold 8,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to
land at position No. 70 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous
CD, the epic concept album “American Soldier”, opened with 21,000 units back in April 2009 to enter the chart at No. 25. This was roughly half the first-week tally registered by QUEENSRŸCHE’s “Operation: Mindcrime II” album, which shifted 44,000 copies in the United States in its first
week of release back in April 2006 to debut at No. 14 on The Billboard
200 chart.

QUEENSRŸCHE’s 2003 effort, “Tribe”, sold 20,000 copies in the first week while 1999’s “Q2K”, opened with sales of 28,000.

QUEENSRŸCHE’s top-selling album by far is 1990’s “Empire”, which was certified triple-platinum in October 1994 for sales in excess of three million copies in the United States. The original “Operation: Mindcrime” release (1988) attained platinum status in August 1991, while 1994’s “Promised Land” reached the same plateau in December 1994.
