Queen didn t just give audiences music. They gave them a show. Bands in 1971 dressed the same as their audience: long hair, jeans, scruffy shirts. They d shuffle onto the stage, start playing & that was it. Most of them barely looked up. Right from the start Queen did things their own way. They gave audiences however small in the early days something to remember. When Queen took to the stage it was to a fanfare of sound, a barrage of smoke & a lightshow years ahead of Close Encounters. Always ahead of the game with stage effects, some of their lighting rigs were significant enough to earn their own nicknames among fans The Crown was a staple for two tours. Forty years after Queen was formed & 20 years after the death of legendary Freddie Mercury, Queen is back in this remarkable book celebrating the exuberance of the greatest live act of all time. ...

A thoughtfully curated & gloriously illustrated retrospective of the band’s studio releases, Queen, comes just in time for the 45th anniversary of their debut LP & biopic.

Formed in 1970, Queen went on to become one of the most popular—and most successful—rock bands of all time. Even following the untimely death of beloved & magnetic frontman Freddie Mercury, & nearly 50 years after their formation, interest in the band has continued, evidenced by scores of reissues, arena tours with surviving members, & a feature-film biopic.

In this new installment in Voyageur Press’s Album by Album series, rock journo Martin Popoff convenes a cast of 19 Queen experts & superfans to discuss all 15 of the band’s studio albums (including their soundtrack for the 1980 film Flash Gordon). Panelists include Queen experts, rock journalists, musicians, & record industry figures.

The results are freewheeling discussions delving into the individual songs, the circumstances that surrounded the recording of each album, the band & contemporary rock contexts into which they were released, & more.
