They own the Queen albums already. This is everything growing out of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Available in A2 or A1, with US sizing at 24x18in and 36x24in, unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI plot these in CAD software.

This one keeps going, and that is where it gets interesting, because the four lines never really separate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolo albums turn out to be full of the other three. Drawn as a network rather than a list, that is immediately obvious. It rewards every closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon run as four unbroken lines across all 15 Queen studio albums, from the 1973 debut to Made in Heaven. Deacon's line ends there, after which he stepped away from music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best thing on the map is what happens on the solo records. Roger Taylor's Strange Frontier in 1984 pulls in all three of the others: Freddie Mercury sings backing vocals on Killing Time, Brian May plays rhythm guitar on Man On Fire, and John Deacon plays bass on It's an Illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeacon appears on two more records outside the band, playing bass on How Can I Go On from Barcelona and on Brian May's Back to the Light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Bowie has a single station, on Hot Space in 1982, credited with vocals and synthesizer. Steve Howe of Yes plays Spanish guitar on Innuendo, and Joan Armatrading sings on A Kind of Magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontserrat Caballé shares the entire Barcelona station with Mercury, which appears on the map as its own two-line station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe later solo albums bring in names no Queen fan expects. Jeff Beck plays guitar on two of Brian May's records, Cozy Powell drums on two, Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters drums on Cyborg, and Ian Hunter turns up as a guest raconteur. Roger Taylor's son Rufus plays drums and piano on Fun on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
