He first photographed the band in November 1973 at their breakthrough gig at Imperial College, London, beginning a collaboration that lasted through the mid-1970s as Queen rocketed to fame, and resulted in a wealth of defining images. From his vast archive, Mick Rock has selected over 250 exceptional images from the iconic album cover shoots for Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack to live performances, as well as unseen outtakes, test Polaroids and informal shots of the band members at home, in the studio and backstage. This was an extraordinary era in rock history and The Man Who Shot The Seventies offers a privileged insight.
