“We wanted to break away from conventions.” Brian May

This month's UNCUT magazine (Tom Waits front cover) includes a 6-page feature on the new 'Queen II' release. You can read an all-new interview with Brian May, conducted by John Lewis.

From homemade amps and operatic vocal marathons to fantasy realms, hostile critics and a breakthrough turn on Top Of The Pops, this is the inside story of 1974’s Queen II – the audacious, impoverished, maximalist leap that built the band’s empire.

UNCUT also gives the new 'Queen II' box set 8/10 in its reviews section.
