The session recordings from Brian May’s 1983 solo project Star Fleet are presented here from a newly unearthed, unedited raw-mix tape! This session—highly regarded for May’s collaboration with Edward Van Halen—comes from the archives of the late bassist Phil Chen. Unlike the officially released session material, this version is completely unedited, running a full 102 minutes, offering a direct and unpolished raw mix that is essential listening.
Naturally sourced from a perfect soundboard recording, this tape reveals mix differences that are impossible to miss—such as keyboard parts that were barely audible on the official release but are prominently featured here. This is an exclusive alternate-source recording that can only be heard on this release.
A rare and newly discovered audio document that differs significantly from the official material—an absolutely unmissable title for collectors!
