On 21st and 22nd April, 1983, Brian May was joined at Record Plant Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. by his friends Eddie Van Halen (guitar), Alan Gratzer (drums), Phil Chen (bass), and Fred Mandel (keyboards).

The output of the two days’ sessions was captured on a 3-track mini album and released on October 31st, 1983, titled Brian May + Friends: Star Fleet Project.

Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, Star Fleet Project will be given the full reissue treatment as part of Brian’s ongoing Gold Series.

In addition to the new 2023 mixes of the 3-track mini-album, the 40th Anniversary reissue presents a second CD chock full of previously unreleased session recordings, as well as two radio interviews, and two live tracks, giving fans 135 minutes of audio.
