Queen II

Queen
Released 1974Rock
Deep cutPicked by a lifelong record collector

An ambitious, layered early peak of hard-rock drama. Bold and beloved. A cult favourite. Released in 1974, it's a key entry in Queen's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
