Queen II[Remastered]

With the classic Mick Rock portrait on the cover, Queen II was actually the band's breakthrough in the UK, with `Seven Seas of Rhye' being their first major UK chart hit, translating the U.S. success of their first album into triumph at home. <P>A concept album, divided into "White" and "Black" sides. It's crammed with references to Mythology and Fantasy, Faeries and Queen Mab. Freddie's "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke" was inspired by Richard Dadd's famous painting which currently hangs in the Tate Gallery. <P>With its layered vocals, harmonies and instruments, Queen II is often cited by writers, fellow artists and fans as the band's finest work.
