Description
Rare mini-LP released in 1983 by Brian May & Friends, “Star Fleet Project.” It is a solo project of Brian May, Queen's guitarist. Released as the work of Brian May + Friends, the album consisted of May, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alan Gratzer (then of REO Speedwagon), Phil Chen (session bassist who played with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart), and Fred Mandel (keyboard player for Alice Cooper and additional keyboard player on Queen's Hot Space Tour and The Works). "[T]he result is high-octane rockist [sic] instrumentals, instantly Queenish, and not unlike Flash with added fretboard pyrotechnics". The tapes were not intended to be released and received minimal mixing. "Star Fleet Project was called a 'mini-album' by [May] because he thought it...too short to be a proper album, but too long to be even an EP single".
Album has been play tested and is in NM condition, with no scratches, skips, loops, or surface noise. Album jacket is VG+ with no seam splits, just some minor wear, price tag residue, and a few creases. Comes with inner sleeve featuring photos and album credits.
