JMagnifico! -An A-Z of Queen is a book written in response to the extraordinary success of Bohemian Rhapsody, and to celebrate Queen's forthcoming high profile 50th anniversary.
An A-Z Of Queen tells their story via a series of essays, mini-biographies, episodes, lists and anecdotes.
At times, the book also offers serious analysis: explaining how Freddie Mercury's funeral was effectively stage-managed by their management, and how, in hindsight, the singer challenged the sexual mores and prejudices of the late 20th century. Similarly, it addresses the phenomenal success of Bohemian Rhapsody and how the film has sold cinema audiences an alternative version of the Queen story, far removed from the truth.
This is a book which can be read from cover to cover or sampled randomly. Every everyentry aims to celebrate, inform, entertain, sometimes amuse, and above all, shed new light on the story of Queen and their music.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The story of Queen is rich with anecdotes, trivia, humour and tragedy - accompanied by some of the best-known songs of all time. In this revealing profile, acclaimed biographer Mark Blake uses a unique 'A to Z' approach to shed new light on the legendary band. With every entry aiming to celebrate, inform, entertain or amuse, Blake's complete portrait covers not only the major hits and bestselling albums, but also the inside stories behind the music.Via a series of essays, lists and mini biographies, the author shares a wealth of lesser-known details - gained from over thirty years of original interviews - and explores what the songs of Queen say about their creators. The book's format also allows it to take fascinating tangents, charting the places, characters and events that, often inadvertently, played a part in shaping the band and informing its music. Elsewhere, entries offer light-hearted trivia - from a list of LPs the band was listening to in 1970 to tales of the fifteen Jimi Hendrix gigs Freddie Mercury hitchhiked around the UK to attend - as well as serious analysis, including the truth behind Mercury's funeral, which was effectively controlled by Queen's management, and a reflection on the ways in which the flamboyant frontman confronted the twentieth century's sexual mores and prejudices. Addressing the phenomenal success of Bohemian Rhapsody, while challenging the fictionalised account it sold to cinemagoers, Blake builds on the band's enduring audience appeal in order to provide a fresh and unparalleled take on Queen's music, story and legacy.
