This is the uncensored independent guide to the music of Queen, a band who since their formation in 1971, have gone on to release a total of eighteen number one albums, eighteen number one singles, and ten number one DVDs. Estimates of their album sales generally range from 150 million to 300 million albums, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. This authoritative text by leading music journalist Matters Furniss traces the Queen story from the London College scene through the triumphant Hammersmith Odeon shows and on to fame and stardom as the world wide stadium rock phenomenon that we know today. This book also features an in depth interview with Brian May, and a complete track-by-track analysis of the entire Queen back catalogue. Essential for any Queen fan, this independent and unaligned book was made with complete editorial freedom, and is completely free to tell the unvarnished story of Queen as it really happened.
