“For an oversized book the print is awfully small & difficult to see!
Did you know:
Queen opened for Jimi Hendrix? Queen's logo is a combination of their astrological signs?
Freddie Mercury was Muslim & born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar, Africa, and sold clothing & art in a small Kensington barrow with Roger Taylor?
John May built his first electric guitar , has a PhD in astrophysics, founded his own guitar company, co-wrote "A Village Lost & Found", founded the U.K. anti animal cruelty group "Save Me", and has two solo albums?
John Deacon (aka deacon John) built a tape recorded to record songs from the radio & later used it as an amplifier for his guitar, was originally a guitar player but changed over to bass?
Roger Meddows-Taylor formed his first band at age eight playing ukulele, was awarded a choral scholarship to the "prestigious" private Truro Cathedral School, played w/ T-Rex, and studied dentistry at the London Hospital Medical School quitting his studies to play with Queen but returned to the university to finish a degree in Biology?
The book's chapters alternate between Queen's history, albums & band members' biographies. There are wonderful full color photos, pull-outs, fold-outs, and enclosures of programs, letters, photographs.... The only thing not included is an audio cd compilation of Queen's music, but as I already own one I'm not missing anything.”
