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.
