The original edition of this revered and authorized Queen biography explored every aspect of the legendary group’s career from inception to 1992. Newly revised and updated with cooperation and insight from Brian May and Roger Taylor—and drawing on exclusive interviews with the bandmembers—this book completes the story of the Mercury era and the immediate years after his death. With numerous extra photographs and a new Foreword from Brian May, Queen: As It Began: Revised and Authorized is an informative and authoritative portrait of Queen’s most fundamental period.

One if the best historical accounts if the band I've consumed. As an avid Queen fan for the last 30+ years, I've had a lot of information pass through my brain about the band and Freddie and this is in the top 3 best! Worth a listen! I even learned a few things I never knew before.

Amazing In Depth Historical Account!

This is a great synopsis of the career of Queen, but does not delve far enough below the surface to be definitive, which is surprising, given that one of the authors runs the Queen fan club. It's unclear if the band were at all involved, but there's nearly nothing here that one couldn't gather from reading Queen's press. A good book for sure, and worth the listen, but it left me wanting a lot more.

Very good, but insufficiently deep

I enjoyed the book, however I couldn't stop laughing when It referred to Kansas as a Canadian band

Good listen, but some glaring inaccuracies.

This is a fine, informative history of the entire band, Queen. It is not only about Freddy Mercury. It is a tasteful tribute of the band and it's magnificent lead Singer.

Nicely done
