Queen are an English rock/pop group, consisting of vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor. Their discography consists of fourteen studio albums, five live albums, one soundtrack album, ten compilation albums, 48 singles and a number of other appearances. Founded in 1970, Queen released their self-titled debut album in 1973. Despite not being an immediate success, Queen became a breakthrough in Britain with their second self-titled album in 1974.^[1]

In 1972, Queen signed with Trident Studios.^[2] Later in their career, Queen signed a record contract with EMI and Elektra in the United States; the band would remain with EMI for the rest of their career. In 1983, the band terminated their contract with Elektra and signed with Capitol Records. In 1990, they once again terminated their U.S. record contract and signed with Hollywood Records. In 1991, Queen's entire catalogue was remastered and released on compact disc in the United States, and thirteen albums (all studio albums up to 'The Works' as well as 'Live Killers' and 'Greatest Hits') were remastered at Abbey Road Studios and released on CD and cassette in the United Kingdom between July 1993 and March 1994.
