It was launched at the end of April through Amazon's Kindle Store worldwide. Below, I have the links to all the Amazon territories where you can find it.
It is as complete and accurate a record as we could make it, based on our research. It covers the recording and release history of the band, their pre-Queen days, solo projects and guest appearances.
Now, to answer a few obvious questions in advance:
- There is no print edition, but we someday hope to get one. At the moment, it is only any ebook.
- If you don't have a Kindle or other e-reader, you can download the free Kindle For PC or Kindle For Mac app to read it on your home computer. And there are various other apps for other devices that will allow you to read it.
hi,
very good work, but i have to answer you a thing.
In 2011 We will rock - the musical was presented for the second tour in italy with italian cast and during this tour the audience could buy inside the theater the cd (or the boxset) of the show recorded on 2009 in Milan). it was produced by Barley arts and queen theatrical productions (this there is print on the cover).
I never found official information about this cd or boxset but I can confirm that this product exists and is not a bootleg.
you know something?
thanks and best regards

Will there be an Epub version available in the near future?
Or is the Kindle version DRM free so that I can convert it into Epub myself?

Hi,
Lplix: I'll look into that recording further, but at the moment I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it. I do know Brian performed with the Italian Touring company at Allianze Teatro, Milan, Italy, on December 4th, 2009. Is the recording they sold of that show, or a different one? I did try to note some of the different cast recordings in the book, but since Queen didn't appear in them (aside from tracks like "Innuendo," which IS noted in the original London cast description) it wasn't a priority and I'm sure a few cast recordings escaped my notice. If possible, could you share a scan of the sleeve and any other info you have?
The Fairy King: Thank you! If you've picked up a copy, I hope you like it. There's a great deal of information in it and we think everyone will see it's thoroughly researched and quite detailed.
Poppo: The DMR is active and now that the book is published, it can't be changed (Amazon's rules). We're looking in Nook and other ebook sources, but are encountering difficulties. Hopefully we can overcome them. I know that probably doesn't help with your situation right now, and for that I'm sorry. All I can suggest for the time being is using one of the Kindle apps.
Looking forward to more thoughts and comments! :-)

Great book. Very worth the reading! I totally recommend it.

VERY good book - Needs going through again with pen and paper so future editions can be corrected (with facts) and updated.
Well worth the absolute pittance I paid for it and I recommend it to EVERYONE as an essential guide to Queen's (known) studio recordings.
Even I was surprised at some of the stuff in it which has caused me to dig out a few old discs and double check them!

I also HIGHLY recommend this book - I bought it and used the Windows Kindle reader program to view it... blew through it in a day or two because I just couldn't stop reading! Fascinating and informative for even longtime Queen fans!
Well done, Patrick and Adam!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm sure we will get to work on a second edition sooner rather than later.

I can't wait until you've overcome these difficulties. So I bought the Kindle version :-)

A useful book! Very well done. Needs a bit of editing and better quality of writing (which I would kindly do for free as that's my job if you did a new edition) but that's not really to detract from the work you've put in :o)
Also, it's a shame I was expecting an argument to kick off as I was scrolling through as I kept forgetting I wasn't scrolling down Queenzone :o)
8/10 from me.

The 2nd Edition, with corrections to typos and such we've found so far, is the current version available.
Thank you to those readers who pointed out what needed fixing from the 1st Edition.

You spelt Classic Queen wrong in the Queen II bit :o)
