could queen 2 be classed as a concept album ?

a few years back someone told me of a copy of queen 2 they had seen that had a booklet with illustrations which told a kinda fairy story and made all the songs on the album make scence .

well iv never seen any official or boot release that sounds like this. can any of you guys shed light? im quite sure its BS but there is lots of odd bits and bobs out there!

anyway thinking about queen 2 there would appear to be a theme/story so would that make it a small concept album?

Yes of course it could be classed as a concept album, but such description would be an incorrect one.

by small I mean in length. it could never be called small in any other respect I don't think. ;-)

definitely NOT a concept album....if it were
then where's the concept or flow?

it ain't side black - as that's broken up by Funny How love Is
and it certainly isn't side white - there' no thread at all there

here's a bit of help for you:

these are concept albums:
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Rick Wakeman: Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Rush: Hemispheres (side 1)
Rush: 2112 (side 1)
Jethro Tull: thick as a Brick
Bowie: The Rise & Fall of Ziggy stardust & the Spiers from Mars
Iron Maiden - 7th son of a 7th son
Genesis: Duke
ELO: Time
Pink Floyd: dark Side of the Moon

there are loads more obviously
and ironically, the most famous "concept" album of all time "Sgt Peppers lonely Hearts Club Band"....isn't a concept album...this status has been misguidedly bestowed upon it by the mis(ahem)conception of fans and media at the time it came out.
