Hey, we're both on the same page here. I'm also a big fan of Queen and have bought A Day At The Races, A Night At The Opera and Innuendo. Totally heart touching and soul-stirring music.

Bought the "Queen in 3D" book recently and read it...quite nice, great amount of pictures and entertaining, though I'm not sure if the 3D really worked with my eyes...the pictures looked bigger, but almost never really 3D... oO I also was a little disappointed how quite fast it went through the 80s years and that it ignored completely almost 15 years...maybe for understanding reasons, but at least some nice and good photos still could have been there imo. But overall I'm happy with it.

I too tried my best to experience 3d in the book but sadly I was disappointed with it. Now I know that I'm not alone on that matter. Apart from that, I loved the book; it's quite interesting.

3D quite worked for me! Which is unusual, since I'm not able to see 3D movies as 3D, probably due to astigmatism.

I had a flick through that - some pics I hadn't seen, and a really odd set of commentators - Jim Jenkins and Paul McCartney

A couple of recent USA exclusive releases.

Greatest Hits - FYE Double Red Vinyl.
A Night At The Opera - VMP "Galaxy" Coloured vinyl.

Thought I may as well but this as the price was so low.

Not sure if it qualifies as a "Queen buy", but I was looking for a winter hat and I randomly came across this one. Bought it on the spot.

Queen Rocks. Great album, thoiugh confusing why they finish it with such a non-rock new track....

[Kes]

Because basically, they had two albums on the cards, a Rocks one, and a Ballads one.

Brian had No-one But You kicking about, and they recorded it. By the time it came to finally put the albums together, they decided to just go with the Rocks one, and stuck the new track on the end of it.

I think something like Princes Of The Universe was meant to be on the original tracklisting of Rocks, and that got sacrificed to fit NOBY on there. There was a piano version of Is This The World We Created, that was found for the Ballads album, and that hasn't seen the light of day either. I know it exists, as I've heard it.

It can only be something to do with your eyes (not sure if a percentage of people have issues generally with 3D stuff?), or maybe how you're viewing the pics with the viewer....they really do come alive and jump out of the page with real depth and perspective, unlike any normal photograph.

There was also supposed to be a Rocks' re-take of TYMD, wasn't there?

Got this book for Christmas, makes good reading, each album being discussed song by song. Nice solid hard-back. I think it was released for their 45th Anniversary

Anyone else pick this up?

Queen: Album By Album delves into "individual songs, the circumstances that surrounded the recording of each album, the band and contemporary rock contexts into which they were released," through "freewheeling discussions" with Dave Ellefson, Derek Shulman, Jeb Wright, Daniel Nester and other experts. The book is illustrated with rare live performance and candid offstage photography, as well as "scads of rare Queen ephemera."
