Brian May + Friends – Star Fleet Project

Bought this CD single when it came out around 1990 or 1991. I’m scratching my head as to why this is classified as an “unofficial release”. An error on the master page, I guess. It coincided with the Star Fleet show being shown on TV during the Saturday morning kids programmes slot. I had always presumed that it was released on the back of that - and since the original vinyl release (which I also have on 7”) was too early for CD.

My copy has a gold promo stamp on the cover. Not sure if it warrants its own listing.

Blues Rock? Hard Rock?
Somebody must have been eating quite an ammount of mushrooms.
It's pop, as bad as it gets.

The serial number on the sticker on the back of my release of this I’s different.

Purchased exclusively through the Queen online store.

Perfect!! Great to hear EVH again!! This is remixed and also remastered..sounds awesome!

Why is it called sessions and not project? Seems stupid to change the name of the record :S

"Star Fleet" is the English title given to the Japanese marionette TV series "X-Bomber" created by Manga artist "Go Nagai" & was aired on Fuji TV from October 4, 1980, to March 28, 1981, with a total of 25 episodes. The show's opening & ending theme songs were performed by the Japanese hard rock group "Bow Wow."

Good vibes all around. Just seems like an outlet to play around on the guitar which is pretty much what I was expecting/hoping for.

My version reads 5 099910 780619

The title track is a great tune and the energy of the performance is audible, but by Jove those standard, run of the mill eighties blues jams are, if not downright awful, the at least as boring to listen to, as they might have been fun to record. As great a songwriter and performer as BM is with Queen I wonder why he would want to commit such nonsense to tape. Anyway, the title track makes the vinyl this mini-album worth is...
