RICK DAMIGELLA: Brian May released his first solo album in 1992. That album, “Back to the Light” is the first in a series of remastered and expanded reissues.

BRIAN MAY: It was a really cataclysmic period for me, which the album represents and encapsulates really.

I feel very excited that I’m just in the position where I am saying to a new generation, here’s an album. This is me. This is what I feel. And this was me trying to face one of the worst periods in my life, getting through it, and finding the next place, looking for that light place.

I guess I’m trying to recapture that moment when you get an album for the first time, and you just sit down with it, and you play the first side, turn it over, and you play the other side. And you immerse yourself in the journey of that album. That’s what the intention is here. It’s that kind of album.

RICK: In Hollywood, I’m Rick Damigella.
