Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Geoff –
From the opening beats of the instrumental "Procession" to the closing sing-a-long that concludes "Seven Seas of Rhye", Queen II will have you on the edge of your seat. May has two wonderful tunes in the hard-rocking "Father to Son" and the incredibly moving "White Queen". He handles lead vocals for the first time in the charming "Some Day One Day", before Taylor's hard hitting "Loser in the End" closes Side White. Mercury's Side Black goes even further, with some of Queen's greatest ever songs. The ultra-aggressive fantasy metal piece "Ogre Battle" takes one's breath away with amazing vocals, lyrics & powerful guitar-riffing from May. It's followed by the harpsichord driven curiosity "Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" which segues into a beautiful but brief piano ballad "Nevermore". All this is topped by "March of the Black Queen" (which stands alongside Queen's great prog epics "Prophet's Song" and "Bohemian Rhapsody"). "Funny How Love Is" provides a little bit of light relief before the glorious "Seven Seas of Rhye" closes one of the outstanding, underrated albums in prog and Queen's history.
