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.

180 Gram Vinyl. Mastered by Bob Ludwig. Half-speed lacquers cut at Abbey Road Studios. 'Queen II' is the second studio album by Queen, released on 8 March 1974. It was recorded at Trident Studios, London in August 1973 with co-producers Roy Thomas Baker and Robin Cable, and engineered by Mike Stone. 'Queen II' is the real beginning of Queen, the first time we hear the multi layered overdubs, the harmonies, the variety, the contrasts and the blue print for their greatest success, 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' It's the first album that hit the charts and gave them a top ten hit. It also includes the most complex and imaginative song they ever recorded, 'March of The Black Queen.' 'Queen II' is the first of a succession of flawless Queen records, followed by 'Sheer Heart Attack,' 'A Night At The Opera' and 'A Day At The Races.' These are Queen's most inventive albums where they really did break boundaries and push rock music to another level. Quite rightly, 'Queen II' is one of the four Queen albums featured in the book '1001 Albums you must hear before you die.'
