And once again enough time has passed...

If you've followed me for a while you've probably seen the same version of this post for the Queen I (2024) boxset. This post is dedicated specifically for the handwritten notes, lyrics, and memorabilia from the Queen II (2026) boxset book, shared especially for those who didn't get to buy the boxset. Although this time, thankfully I didn't have to take my own photos. These fantastic scans are from Chinwonder2, please send your thanks to him! The original scans are hundreds of MB each in PNG so if you have any hi-res requests just let me know.

Not much commentary from me other than how fascinating it is to see the original drafts of lyrics and titles and doodles of storyboards and raw ideas in what is mostly Brian's and Freddie's handwriting. You can also track their recording sessions in a lot of these to work up a timeline of how long they were working on which. With that, enjoy!

Roger, interrupting: You started saying playing with yourself.

Brian: I NEARLY said that, Rog-

Roger: -don't worry-

Brian: -VERY carefully.

Forty years ago today, Queen made history by playing the first Western stadium rock show behind the Iron Curtain, at Budapest’s Népstadion. This groundbreaking show took place during a period of profound cultural and political change and stands as a pivotal moment in the band’s history. Now, the film has been meticulously restored in 4K from the original 35mm footage by Sir Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production facility, with newly remixed audio from the original multitrack recordings. Experience QUEEN BUDAPEST in the most immersive presentation of the performance to date, in cinemas and @/imax worldwide from Wednesday, October 7 for a limited time only. Available on 3LP, 2CD and Digital, DVD & Blu-ray editions released on Friday, October 30.
