Queen - Queen II [CD]

We aimed for the top slot and we were not going to be satisfied with anything less. Freddie Mercury March 2011 sees the rerelease of Queens first five albums one of the most exciting and influential back catalogues of all time. Recorded in the maelstrom of the early 1970s 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 1970s 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 Axl Rose to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. Queen II is the real beginning of Queen as we know it. Its the first time we hear the multi layered overdubs the harmonies the varied musical styles (ballads folk blues thrash metal pop and rock its all there). It also includes their first hit single Seven Seas of Rhye which led to the first of many iconic performances on Top of the Pops. The band recorded Queen II 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.
