Queen is back. It is really cool to hear that for the 40th Anniversary of the Band’s formation and 20th anniversay of the death of Freddie Mercury, the band is going to re-release their first 5 albums and currently there is a an exhibition called ‘Stormtroopers in Stilettos’ at the Truman Brewery, London that features two old-skool Queen tracks.
The 1st tune, “Keep Yourself Alive” was the first single Queen ever released back in 1973 and is now poignantly released on their 40th Anniversary. This is the only Queen single that ever failed to chart in the UK mainly because Radio One rejected it claiming it took long to get going! This new 2011 remaster is a long-lost retake of the track recorded in 1975 for a USA single that never saw the light of day. The 2nd, “Stone Cold Crazy,” was one of the first tracks that Queen ever played live.
You can hear the tracks below and love all that is Queen.
enjoY!
