The photographs of Mick Rock
Original text by Brian May, Mary Austin and Mick Rock
Featuring quotes of the period from Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon
A limited edition of 2,500 numbered copies worldwide signed by Brian May and Mick Rock
Mick's collaboration with Freddie, Brian, Roger and John lasted until 1976 and Queen's legendary free concert in Hyde Park. During this time he helped create the iconic album covers for Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack and conducted solo photo sessions with Freddie and Roger. Previously unseen out-takes and test Polaroids from these sessions are included in the book, as are over 120 live photographs, many of which are being published for the very first time in this remarkable limited edition.
