Recorded in the maelstrom of the early 1970\\u2019s London music scene Queen created a groundbreaking and unique soundtrack that remains globally influential today. Theatrical, imaginative, diverse, melodic and unpredictable they had a sound and a look all of their own. Sitting alongside their contemporaries like Led Zep and David Bowie, Queen set the standard for British rock in the 1970\\u2019s and became one of the most thrilling, glamorous and downright rock n roll bands of all time, directly influencing a contemporary roll call of artists from Foo Fighters \u0026amp; Axl Rose to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\u2018Queen II\\u2019 is the real beginning of Queen as we know it. It\\u2019s the first time we hear the multi layered overdubs, the harmonies, the varied musical styles (ballads, folk, blues, thrash metal, pop and rock, it\\u2019s all there). It also includes their first hit single \\u2018Seven Seas of Rhye\\u2019, which led to the first of many iconic performances on Top of the Pops. The band recorded \\u2018Queen II\\u2019 in just over a month in 1973 ahead of its release in 1974. The album cover was shot by legendary photographer Mick Rock and inspired by a Marlene Dietrich portrait. The image was later brought to life in the revolutionary Bohemian Rhapsody video. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Procession\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Father To Son\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3.
