Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Step into the magic of Queen's unforgettable 1986 era with this detailed exploration of A Kind of Magic, the album that captured the band at one of the most powerful and cinematic moments of their career.Released in the wake of Queen's legendary Live Aid triumph and closely connected to the… fantasy film Highlander, A Kind of Magic became far more than a standard studio album. It was a bold, glossy, stadium-sized statement from a band newly restored to public glory. Blending pop polish, rock power, soundtrack drama, emotional balladry, and theatrical spectacle, the album stands as one of Queen's defining works of the 1980s.This book explores the story behind the album in depth, from the post-Live Aid resurgence that reshaped Queen's public image to the cinematic influence of Highlander, the making of major tracks such as "One Vision," "A Kind of Magic," "Friends Will Be Friends," "Who Wants to Live Forever," and "Princes of the Universe," and the album's role in Queen's final tour with Freddie Mercury.Across thirty-five detailed chapters, the book examines how Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon each shaped the album's sound, character, and emotional range. It looks at the record's glossy 1980s production, its music videos, singles campaign, commercial success, critical reception, and lasting legacy. It also considers how the Magic Tour and the famous 1986 Wembley performances transformed the album into part of Queen's live mythology.Dramatic, accessible, emotional, cinematic, and inseparable from the band's final stadium peak with Freddie Mercury, A Kind of Magic remains one of Queen's most fascinating albums. It is a record about fantasy, immortality, love, friendship, destiny, and survival - but it is also the sound of Queen themselves becoming immortal in popular memory.Perfect for Queen fans, classic rock readers, music history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the stories behind iconic albums, this book offers a rich and passionate journey through one of the most magical chapters in Queen's extraordinary career.This is an unofficial and independent book, and is not affiliated with, authorised, sponsored, or endorsed by Queen, their estates, management, record labels, or associated rights holders.
