Watch Brian May enthuse about Star Fleet Project on kid’s TV in 1983
‘Yeah! We’ve done it! Great!’ – Brian May on the recording sessions that bequeathed Star Fleet Project (featuring Eddie Van Halen) to The World
The news that a massively expanded version of Brian May and Eddie Van Halen’s Star Fleet Project will be reissued next month was greeted with a conspicuous amount of enthusiasm, but Brian May will surely be delighted not to have to hit the promotional trail as he did when the original EP was released in October 1983.
The expanded Star Fleet Project set will be available as a box set featuring the original EP on red vinyl, two CDs – the first features an expanded version of the album that includes various Project-related interviews and live tracks, while the second (exclusive to the box) includes 23 previously unreleased session tracks – and a 7″ Star Fleet single backed by Son Of Star Fleet.
