Another World is Brian May’s second full solo album, originally released in 1998 it follows the reissue of his 1992 album Back To The Light in the latest of his ‘Gold Series’ releases.

While Brian undertook a great deal of the instrumental work himself, his efforts were complimented by a host of talented musicians, including: Cozy Powell and Steve Ferrone on drums; Neil Murray and Ken Taylor on bass; Spike Edney on keyboards; and Jamie Moses on guitar. The album also features a special turn by Status Quo bandmembers John Edwards (bass), Jeff Rich (drums), and Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (guitar) on “F.B.I. (Original Ruff Mix With Real Bass And Drums)”.

This sought-after record has long been unavailable in any format. Its timely re-issue in a variety of formats has been supervised by Brian himself, along with co-producer Justin Shirley-Smith, and Kris Fredriksson, long-time Queen art designer Richard Gray, and Grammy Award winner Bob Ludwig, who has newly mastered the entire collection.

The package comes in a special collector’s 12” Lift Lid Box. Inside the box, the two CDs are housed in separate card wallets. The first CD is the original album Another World newly re-mastered by Bob Ludwig from the original master tapes. The second CD, Another Disc, contains alternative versions, B-Sides and live tracks. The LP is presented in 180g heavyweight sky-blue colour vinyl in spined sleeve with printed inner bag. Also included is a 32-page booklet containing photos and album notes, along with an enamel Another World badge. The whole set personally overseen by Brian May.
