What was the title of Queen’s debut album? Queen. The self-titled record was the British rock band’s first studio album, released in the United Kingdom on 13 July 1973.

Queen recorded the album at London’s De Lane Lea Music Centre and Trident Studios. Although the material was completed and mixed in 1972, release was delayed while Trident tried to secure a record-company deal. EMI eventually issued it in Britain, while Elektra handled the original US release.

The album blends hard rock, heavy metal and progressive-rock influences. Its tracks include “Keep Yourself Alive,” “Doing All Right,” “Liar,” “Great King Rat” and “The Night Comes Down.” The record’s sleeve famously stated that “nobody played synthesiser,” reflecting the band’s use of layered guitars and vocals to produce elaborate textures.

Listeners sometimes confuse the title with Queen II, but that was the second studio album, released in 1974. “A Night at the Opera” came later, in 1975, and contained the band’s landmark “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
