Hier die offizielle englische Presseinfo von queenonline.com zu dem am 01.06.2012 in Europa erscheinenden Buch Queen: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics.

Foreword by Roger Taylor and Brian May
 
As Queen begins its fifth decade, straight from the band’s vault comes this visually dazzling tome of lyrics.
 
Queen, one of the most innovative, glamorous, and influential bands in rock history, was formed in 1971 when the musical fates brought four creative and cerebral youths together in London.  Freddie Mercury was an established fine and graphic artist, Brian May was enveloped in the study of astrophysics, Roger Taylor was enrolled in dental school, and John Deacon was studying electronics.  Since then, they have made history with their sophisticated fusion of operatic expression, theatrical performance, and raw rock and roll.
 
Queen: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics is the first book of its kind.  Not only has there never before been a complete Queen lyrics book, Queen: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics also features hundreds of images accompanying the songs, from handwritten lyrics to never-before-seen photographs from the stage to the studio.  Also included is a complete discography, pairing each song with the album on which it was originally released.
 
Beginning with their debut album Queen in 1973, the band took the U.K. by storm, then conquered the United States along with the rest of the world, serving as pioneers of stadium rock and enjoying commercial success and momentum well into the 1980s (highlighted by their show-stopping Live Aid appearance in 1985) through the early 1990s.  The whirlwind took a startling pause when Mercury died from AIDS on November 24, 1991, but since then, the living members have forged ahead and remain great music makers until this day.
 
Queen has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, has songs enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and has received BMI’s highest honor, the BMI Icon Award. Queen’s Greatest Hits, released in 1981, is the U.K.’s best-selling album of all time.
 
Designed by Queen’s longtime creative director Richard Gray, Queen: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics is as true to the band as can be, carrying with it the flamboyance, expression, and depth that Queen embodies.  If there is one book for a Queen fan to own, this is the one.

In the era when one could still but only dream of a comprehensive restoration of Fritz Lang's silent sci-fi epic Metropolis, esteemed pop artist/producer and pioneering electronic composer Giorgio Moroder followed his work on Brian De Palma's cult-classic Al Pacino vehicle Scarface by assembling his own version of Lang's 1920s classic. The result was a zeitgeist-infused, high-kitsch/high-art amalgam of some of the quintessential cinema images and then-contemporary 1980s pop-chart melodrama.
For millions around the world, it is this version of Metropolis – featuring music by Moroder himself and artistes such as Adam Ant, Pat Benatar, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler, and Jon Anderson – which first comes to mind whenever mention is made of the Lang original or, indeed, the iconic imagery and power of silent cinema.
First time on UK DVD for this legendary version of the blockbuster science-fiction classic Iconic, zeitgeist-defining soundtrack includes the music of Freddie Mercury, Adam Ant, Bonnie Tyler, and others

SPECIAL EDITION:
• New high-definition restoration from rare original 35mm elements
• Original stereo and new 5.1 surround audio options
• The Fading Image, a vintage documentary from 1984 detailing the creation of Moroder's reconstruction

Eureka Entertainment are proud to present a new restoration of Giorgio Moroder's cult reworking of Fritz Lang's Metropolis for the very first time on DVD in the UK – a bizarre and beautiful retro-futurist timepiece which continues to speak of the past, present, and future…available on DVD and limited edition DVD Steelbook from 23 July 2012.
