QUEEN

The Early Years

By

MARK HODKINSON

(hard cover)

EXCELLENT !

The first biography of the legendary British band to focus on their formative years.
It highlights the desperately urgent days of pre-stardom when the Queen quartet played
with bands like The Reaction The opposition 1984 and Sour Milk Sea.
Author Mark Hodkinson has interviewed over 60 friends and colleagues of Freddie Mercury
Brian May Roger Taylor and John Deacon and pieced together a fascinating web of stories
that for the first time tell the true story of the emergent Queen. From the tiny down beat village of Oadby in
Leicestershire where John Deacon grew up to the exotic splendour of Zanzibar
where Forookh Bulsara was born Hodkinson offers a new and enticing vision of Queen.
In tracing these unpublished stories he also examines the Queen era before and
immediately after stardom. Candid. authoritative and with extraordinary
attention to detail Queen -The Early Years is neither authorised nor censored by the band
nor is it stitched together from the same tired old press clippings as the quickie biographies that
appeared soon after Freddie Mercurys death. It is the first genuine account of Queens. rise to
stardom. as told by those who knew the band and watched from the front row.


Illustrated with many previously
unseen early photographs of the four
members of Queen.
