From Loudersound.
Queen guitarist Brian May is to reissue his 1992 solo album Back To The Light. The album, which has been unavailable for some time, will be rereleased on August 6 and form part of the newly announced Brian May Gold Series.
“I was a little nervous at the beginning, thinking what is this going to dredge up in me?,” says May. “But I loved getting back in there. I’m really just hoping it will connect with people who have never heard this stuff before. They know me as guitarist for Queen. Some know me as an astronomer. Some know me as a campaigner for animal rights. I’m a sort of evangelist for 3-D Victorian Stereoscopy. But very few people have heard my solo output.
“So I’m excited to see how this turns out. I found it fascinating going back in there and rediscovering why I wrote certain things. What they meant to me. How we recorded. Some of it is so massive in the recording I can hardly believe we pulled it off – it’s very epic, some of it. And I like that.
“And at the same time, there’s little corners of it which are very simple, very understated, very emotionally naked. I discovered so much of what I’m saying in the album I still feel. I still feel those dangers, those fears, those hopes, those dreams.”
Back To The Light will be available on multiple formats, with expanded editions including a second disc, Out Of The Light. Formats include a collector’s edition box set featuring a white-vinyl LP with 2 CDs, a 32-page book, a 12” art print, and an enamel badge. The album will also be released also on single black 180g vinyl, CD, deluxe double CD, cassette and digital formats.
Bonus disc Out Of The Light features a mixture of unreleased tracks, alternate versions, and songs recorded live at the Palace Theater, Los Angeles in April 1993 and London’s Brixton Academy two months later. Also included is a version of Queen’s Tie Your Mother Down recorded on the Jay Leno show with special guest Slash.
Back To The Light is available to pre-order from the Queen store.
