    Its amazing, to grow up hearing Brian's music in the 70'and onward and while you come to love the band, they're all so very far away and removed from the adoration. For all its pitfalls, the internet has allowed fans the opportunity to get these close up chats and that let us re-appreciate the people who made the magic, all over again.

    I still remember the day, over 35 years ago, when I spotted Starfleet in my local
    Record shop. You couldn’t find it anywhere and there it was for £2.99 in the bargain bucket. It’s a fantastic “mini-album” as I seem to remember Brian describing it in the sleeve notes. 3 excellent songs with amazing playing on each and they still sound great today. Delighted this is now getting some attention.

      Similar story here. Just happened to look at the shelf behind the checkout and I saw it on the shelf. Couldn't even be sure it said Brian May on it. I walked by a couple of times trying to get a better look as it was crowded and finally just asked the clerk if I could take a look at it. Once it got in my hands it never left. I was completely unaware he had even released anything. I remember being disappointed looking at the track listing and seeing it was only a mini LP, but once it hit my record player, that disappointment vanished.

    Hey Brian. I bought this album from Peaches Record Store in Jackson MS way back when it first came out. I had never heard of it. Spotting the sleeve: Brian May and Friends, featuring Edie Van Halen I knew it was gonna be a good one.
    Little did I know that those three songs displayed some of you and Eddie's best ever riffs. Still listening after all the years.
    An impromptu masterpiece of rock n roll.
    You, Eddie and the band made magic that day. Thanks for sharing this brilliant work.

    Here I am listening to such a story of this curly knight and I think: how is it still not fair that the members of the Queen created so few soundtracks. I mean for films ("Highlander" does not count), for animated series, for computer games, finally. Because there is us, there is the past generation, and there is the current generation. Many of them know Freddie, but not everyone knows that Brian, John and Roger have always been around. So I think everyone wants more Brian and Roger right now. In any form! -_0
