Queen is a legendary rock band that rose to fame in the 1970s. With their unique blend of rock, opera, and glam influences, they became one of the most iconic and influential bands in history. Led by the charismatic Freddie Mercury, Queen produced hit after hit, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," and "Another One Bites the Dust." Their electrifying live performances captivated audiences around the world, solidifying their status as one of the greatest live acts of all time. Even after Mercury's untimely death in 1991, Queen's music continues to resonate with fans old and new.
Queen's innovative sound pushed boundaries and defied genres. Their ability to seamlessly transition from hard-hitting rock anthems to tender ballads showcased their versatility as musicians. Each member brought their own unique talents to the table - Brian May's virtuosic guitar playing, Roger Taylor's powerful drumming, John Deacon's melodic bass lines - creating a dynamic chemistry that set them apart from other bands.
Throughout their career, Queen released numerous critically acclaimed albums and received countless awards for their contributions to music. Their impact on popular culture cannot be overstated; they have inspired generations of artists across various genres. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering their music for the first time, Queen's timeless songs are sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

A new revisiting of the band’s 13th album, The Miracle, the band’s penultimate to be released in Freddie Mercury’s lifetime - originally released in 1989. The album was recorded as the band recovered from Brian May's marital problems and Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis in 1987 (which was, though known to the band, not publicised at the time). Basically, The Miracle is a showcase for Freddie Mercury and his love of sweeping, quasi-operatic vocals. And indeed, Mercury - especially on the title track - has never sounded better. One of his strengths is his ability to take even the schlockiest material and make it his own, and that gift comes in handy on The Miracle.

6CD/LP - Among its contents, the expanded set includes The Miracle Sessions: an hour-plus disc of further previously unreleased recordings, including six unpublished songs. Just as tantalising for fans, the audio includes the band’s candid spoken exchanges on the studio floor in London and Montreux, giving the most revealing window yet into the four members’ creative process and the joy, in-jokes and banter on their return to working together.

‘Face It Alone’ was originally recorded during the band’s historic 1988 sessions for that album, a prolific period which saw the band lay down around 30 tracks, many of which were never released, but remained among those that didn’t make the final album cut. It was rediscovered when the band’s production and archive team returned to those sessions to work on The Miracle box set reissue. “We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” admits Roger Taylor, “but there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece”.
