These performances were digitally recorded on two linked Sony '3324' 24-track machines with Apogee filters and mixed back on to two tracks on the same machines. The album was then digitally compiled at West Heath Studios with Ian Sylvester. The guitars were played mainly either through 'Zoom' boxes or good old (or new) Vox AC30's.
Extra expert programming by David Richards and Brian Zellis.
For the past 20 years I have been privileged to work with the best team in the world. Thank you Roger, John and our dear incomparable, sorely missed, Freddie, and all those who worked for Queen over the years, for getting me this far.
This album is dedicated to Harold May, Alfred Dobson, and Freddie Mercury. And to all those loved ones we have lost too soon.

Liner notes

Dear folks,

This is an album of songs, and the man who finished making it today is very different from the man who started it five years ago. So this is not a set of ideas put down at one moment, nor is it the story of my life; it is merely a collection of attempts made at various times to make sense of life's journey. Thus you won't find much in here about how fab it is to be a rock star in Queen; but you may find, in contrast, glimpses of someone quite small and insecure. I know him well.

Music is joy to me, and living in it is sometimes the only safe place to be. Much of what is recorded here is for fun, escapism, music for it's own sake, and although I mean what I say, take it all with a small pinch of salt.

In my mind, this album was always called Back To The Light. At it's beginning I felt no real hope of finding the light; now it glimmers dimly, encouragingly, but always intermittently in the hall of mirrors around me. I suppose if we ever knew exactly where the light was coming from, getting there would be easy.....
