Queen I (2024) Boxset - Handwritten Lyrics, Diaries, and Other Memorabilia
Tumblr media
Well as they say, Enough Time Has Passed. From the Queen I book here are the underrated gems of handwritten materials which I haven't seen posted around, not as trigger-quickly as the portraits and photos from the book anyway!
But first, I want this to be visible at the top - big love and thank you to the loveliest @justlike-awoman ❤ for helping me get this boxset, and the cutesy bonuses in the package, and the support for literally anything I do in this fandom, you are an absolute star babe 🥰✨
What I've done, apart from buying the boxset 💸 is take amateur photos and put on amateur filters on them. There's no way I'm splitting the book spine to press it face down on a proper scanner, so this is the best you'll get. I tried to edit them to make them look clearer but again, amateur filters, so manage your expectations. But if there's a specific bit you want to see much clearer let me know!
Also a heads up, they're not all new, like some of Roger's diary entries have been posted online and some of Freddie's scribbles are from Sotheby's. Still, I'll put them on here with context - these headings and descriptions are mostly taken as they are from the book.
So yes, this is for the "I'm not buying the boxset, I'm sure someone will post them online" crowd. As of now I am that someone, so while I'm fully aware I don't own the copyrights, if you're reposting these anywhere (I prefer these don't get reposted at all but doesn't seem like I have a choice these days), I would greatly appreciate being mentioned for sharing. I've been having issues with reposters who only ever take without any credits or a thanks, saying they don't remember where they got their stuff from (but they suddenly do when they find out I block them for reposting... so welp.)
Anyway! LONG POST warning. Click images then open in new tab to enlarge. I hope those of you interested in these will enjoy! 🥰
To start, here is Roger's diary entry dated May 27th 1970, that we've seen before, deciding that Queen was the best name for the band.
Tumblr media
My Fairy King
The first time Queen's music was ever broadcast anywhere in the world was My Fairy King. On Feb 15th 1973, John Peel played a BBC session version of the song on his Radio 1 "Sounds of the Seventies" evening program. This is in the boxset on Disc 5.
Below is Freddie's handwritten lyrics for the song.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Imperial College gigs (1970 - 1973)
August 1970 - This has circulated before. Roger's hand-drawn invitation for a show in a lecture theatre at Imperial College, to an invited audience of around 100 people. This, in August 1970, is their first ever London show. Two songs from this show are in Disc 6 of the boxset (Jesus and I'm A Man) and are taken from the earliest Queen recording in existence.
Tumblr media
July 18th, 1971 - This invitation (titled inked by Freddie, text by Roger) was for a second private show in the Imperial College lecture theatre (another photo caption mentions it's in the Mechanical Engineering building), where the band had been rehearsing.
Tumblr media
The handwritten agreement below (signed by Brian) for the use of the room confirms the show's date. The show was attended by John Anthony who will later produce their first album.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
November 2nd 1973 - Here is another diary entry from Roger following their performance at Imperial College Main Hall in the Beit (Imperial College Union) building. Unlike the previous private shows, this was for a paying audience of around 1,000 people (30p admission price). This show earned the band's first live review by Rosie Horide for Disc Magazine. (Having to turn away people at the door must have been such a flex!)
Tumblr media
The Black and the White Distinctively
Black/white became the band's recurring theme as they play other gigs in this era, such as Cornwall on August 21st 1971 (their first outdoor gig at Tregye Hotel, Carnon Downs, Truro) and a dance at King's College Hospital in London on 10th March 1972.
One of the gigs they did before those was for a Balls Park College Show in Hertford, Hertfordshire, on November 14th 1970. Here is Roger's diary entry on that show, confirming that they received £50 for the show (supposedly significant for that time!)
Tumblr media
The accounting letter from the college is below signed by Brian, and afterwards he did the accounting to split it with the band.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
De Lane Lea Studios (Dec 1971 - Jan 1972)
Queen recorded their demos at De Lane Lea on 16-track analogue tapes, including the following songs. Below is Freddie's handwritten lyrics for Jesus.
Tumblr media
Here is Brian's original lyric sketch for The Night Comes Down, which was the only song in the album recorded in De Lane Lea studio, Wembley, with engineer Louis Austin. The band decided to add this demo recording (remixed at Trident) at the last minute, hoping the Trident owners (the Sheffield Brothers, also Queen's managers) wouldn't notice, and they got away with it.
Tumblr media
Lastly, here is Freddie's lyrics of Great King Rat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Live at the Marquee (1971 - 1973)
Queen performed four times at this venue during this period.
This is Freddie's lyrics for Mad The Swine which was supposed to be the fourth song on the debut LP in an early version of the tracklist, but it didn't make it there until it resurfaced as a bonus track in 1991. The boxset version of the album puts it in its original place.
Tumblr media
Next is Freddie's lyrics for Hangman, one of the first songs written and rehearsed in the band's early days. It only ever featured in live sets and no studio recording of it exists. It's now released in CD 6 of the boxset, recorded from the last night of the US tour in early 1976.
Tumblr media
Also regular songs played live during that era are Modern Times Rock 'n Roll, Song and Daughter, and Doing All Right. Here are their handwritten lyrics by Roger, Brian, and Freddie respectively.
Tumblr media
April 9th 1973 - Jac Holzman, founder of Elektra Records, attended and later signed the band to the label. Here is Roger's diary entry on that show, also saying there was a lot of nervous energy because there were too many people attending that he knew (I am mentally giving him a hug).
Tumblr media
Keep Yourself Alive - Debut Single Release July 1973
Brian's original lyric draft for the song is below (left), containing some ideas he later discarded and replaced. Meanwhile, here is Freddie's "singing copy" separately (right), as apparently he found it helpful to sing from a song sheet in his own handwriting (I too would need my own copy if I had to read Brian's scribbles - I don't blame him!)
Tumblr media
Brian also made handwritten notation and lyrics for the song.
Tumblr media
Queen Debut Album Release - July 13th 1973
Here is Brian's original rough sketch for the cover of the album. The original source photograph was shot by Douglas Puddifoot during the band's show at the Marquee on December 20th 1972.
Tumblr media
Brian worked on paper prints and cut out the image of Freddie with a scalpel, then pasting it on an enlarged print of the spotlight part of the picture, assembled on a 24-inch square wooden board and then re- photographed. The back cover collage was made in a similar way, but the original boards disappeared from an EMI archive sometime later and never resurfaced. 💔
On Tour with Mott the Hoople
Queen's first tour opening for Mott the Hoople began in November 1973 around the UK. One of the shows was in Central Hall, Chatham on December 2nd 1973, when Roger, Brian, and Freddie joined Mott the Hoople to sing backing vocals on All the Young Dudes and Roll Away the Stone for the encore.
Here is Roger's diary entry from that day.
Tumblr media
During this tour, Brian also wrote brief impressions of the shows they were playing, handwritten on a folded up Queen poster. Here are his notes from eight of their shows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Headline Performance
Queen had been rehearsing not only for their Mott tour but also as they finally started to tour for the first time as a headlining act, promoted by Mel Bush.
This is Roger's diary entry dated July 8th 1973, when they had been rehearsing in Fulham, around the time their single and album were getting released.
Tumblr media
US Album Release on Elektra
Elektra Records released Queen's debut album in September 1973, with a different color for the album cover (slightly pink/red) for release in their territories including North America and Japan. On their first run, the Queen logo and the crest on the back were embossed in gold foil. The slogans "British Rock in the Royal Tradition" and "Queen Has Arrived." were used for their promotion.
While EMI enver released a second single, Elektra released an edited-down Liar as a follow up single, in February 1974, as a follow up to Keep Yourself Alive. (I consider this unofficially the second single, since Roger mentioned in a recent interview that the band wanted The Night Comes Down as a third single but it didn't happen).
Here is Freddie's handwritten lyrics for Liar (left), and his arrangement notes for the song (right).
Tumblr media
Lastly, here is a music chart handwritten by Freddie for Liar and Jesus. It was noted that this was not Queen's normal way of notating music, because Freddie's usual method to plan harmonies was to write the names of the notes in block.
Tumblr media
And that is all for this post! That's... virtually half of the boxset book so you are welcome. Thank you if you've made it this far and I hope it was useful! I prefer if you don't repost but if you do, please don't forget to credit for sharing. ❤

A Kenyan British lady and her Nigerian British husband. They give a beautiful description of why they want to preserve the Britain that they traveled to become a part of.
You can come here and practice any religion. We have a stated value of mutually respecting different faith, cultures etc.
But notice this is 'Mutual' respect, that goes both way.
If there are people who refuse to render you respect for respect, then most of us will be on your side.
All that we ask is that people come here free to practice their own faiths, but whilst respecting the Christian foundation on which our country has been built.
Bring and practice your culture, along with your religion. As long as it doesn't violate any of our laws, we're fine with it.
All we ask for is to respect our native culture. And yes, we do have a culture
. We have foods and drinks that have a British (English, Welsh, Scots, N irish character) Try them out. They may not be spicy. But they do have their own tastiness.
We have loads of music, stretching back through centuries by home grown composers and performers.
Books, plays poetry - You've heard of Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Keats? All British, and there are plenty more.
Folklore and fairy tales - We have four different countries, with their own myths, legends, folklore and fairy tales.
I highly recommend them all.
We love a celebration as much as anyone. Look at how we celebrate Christmas. Think of December as a month long festival of light, music, stories, food, drink and lots of good will. Check out The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College Cambridge. You can get it on BBC Radio 4 from Christmas Eve onward.
Easter - Parts of the country have their own customs from the beginning of Lent onwards.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Races, Egg Rolling
Not sure why Maypole's are here in the Easter section. It's more usually at the beginning of May, the Pagan festival of Beltane, heralding the early days of Summer.
Morris dancing seems rather silly. But it's fun and began as a Spring fertility dance.
Cornwall - Some Cornish people want to be separate from England, some don't. But they're still British, either way
The Countryside - It's not racist. If you live here, it's yours to love and take care of too.
Go and visit, no one's going to stop you. See this gorgeous landscape that we need to take care of and protect.
Our History. - It's there for us to learn from, not to judge.
Some terrible things were done in our past.This is true
So, we find ways to not let it happen again. Most British people are fine with that.
Guess what. All but the tiny but worst percentage of people think this slavery is disgusting.
We don't want to fall into that trap again, so yes, let's keep learning about it.
But also we should learn the full history of slavery thousands, and I do mean many thousands of years ago. Jewish slaves taken to Babylon.
And the worst part? That history isn't over, how about we make up for our part in slavery in the past, by fighting slavery going on right now.
British Empire - Yes, it had some advantages. But that came at the price of a country not being allowed the freedom to rule itself, and that sucks.
So, I think most Brits are happy that it ended. The Commonwealth is a group of independent, self governing nations, that chose to keep the British Monarch as Head of State.
Are there improvements that can be made? I'm sure there are plenty. Let's work on that, rather than focusing on the problems of the past. We can make the present and future better. But the past is what it was.
British Heroes - Were these people paragons of virtue? Err No! They were people, imperfect just like us.
But we celebrate them today, because they did something extra special that helped our country.
Try learning about them. Yes, the bad as well as the good. But remember that it's not the bad that we celebrate them for, so why would we be ashamed of what made them human?
Look at what they did, and even if you can't celebrate them too. You'll at least see why many of us do.
A great speech dear Madam and Sir.
I'm delighted to call you and your children my compatriots.

Bbc radio 2 just informed me there is a seal in Cornwall named after David Tennant but they didn’t make this entirely clear and I’m very sleepy so I was very confused to hear “swim free David Tennant” at 7:51 in the morning

Throughout her career Tammy has recorded and produced all her own music. Her diverse output explores a range of musical landscapes between melancholic piano-ambient works, euphoric synth driven electronic beats and apocalyptic walls of distorted guitars.
Regardless of style, Tammy’s music always has an enduring emotional quality that is as expansive as it is elegantly peculiar.

Guglielmo Marconi: The Wireless Pioneer Who Changed the World
Tumblr media
✨ Introduction Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937) was an Italian-Italian/Irish inventor, entrepreneur, and physicist whose visionary work propelled the invention of radio, forever reshaping global communication. His blend of technical experimentation and commercial insight earned him the title “father of wireless” and a shared Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909
🧬 Early Life & Background
Birth & Family: Born 25 April 1874 in Bologna, Italy, to a landowner father, Giuseppe Marconi, and Irish-descendant mother, Annie Jameson of the Jameson whiskey lineage Education: Home-schooled by tutors; formal schooling was sporadic. Mentored by Vincenzo Rosa and later by physicist Augusto Righi at University of Bologna, where he absorbed Heinrich Hertz’s findings on electromagnetic waves First Experiments: By 1894–95, in his villa’s attic “Stanza dei bachi,” he sent wireless signals over a mile—an impressive feat that spurred him to seek patents and funding
🚀 Career & Achievements
London Move & Patent: In 1896 he moved to London and secured the first wireless telegraphy patent; founded the Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in 1897 Milestone Transmissions: 1898: Crossed the English Channel with wireless communication. 1901: Sent the iconic Morse “S” signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland, shattering perceptions of radio’s limits Innovation & Expansion: Developed tuning methods (patent No. 7777) to allow multi-channel transmissions, enabling long-range, interference-free wireless systems Nobel & Maritime Safety: Shared the 1909 Nobel Prize with Karl Braun; his radios became lifelines on the Titanic and other ships Further Innovations: Advanced short-wave and microwave communication, introduced directional “beam” systems aboard his yacht Elettra, and launched the world’s first microwave radiotelephone link in 1932 Business Endeavors: Co-founded what would become the BBC (initially station 2LO in 1922), and established Vatican Radio in 1931
💑 Personal Life
Marriage & Children: Wed Beatrice O’Brien in 1905; they had three children before annulling in 1927. Later married Maria Cristina Bezzi-Scali, and their daughter Elettra became the namesake of his yacht Interests & Honors: Enjoyed cycling, motoring, and hunting. Ennobled as Marchese in 1929, he served in Italy’s Senate, was President of the Royal Italian Academy, and supported Mussolini’s regime
🕊️ Legacy & Impact
Communication Revolution: Marconi’s work fundamentally established the basis for modern radio, TV, radar, and wireless technologies, impacting everything from global news to mobile communication Lifesaving Influence: His maritime radios notably saved thousands, shaping international safety protocols. Cultural & Institutional Remembrance: Recognized by Italy and abroad—Rome and BBC radio paused in mourning at his death. His villa, Mausoleum, and the Marconi Foundation preserve his memory, and public places continue to bear his name
🧠 Final Thoughts
Marconi was more than a technologist—he was a storyteller and visionary whose work turned electromagnetic theory into practical, widespread systems. He bridged science and business in ways that few thinkers of his time managed, and his blend of curiosity, insight, and entrepreneurial instinct fueled global transformation.
✅ What We Learn
Persistence beats skepticism: Marconi overcame academic rejection and proved naysayers wrong. Vision must be paired with action: He didn’t just invent—he patented, capitalized, and commercialized. Real-world impact defines legacy: His innovations weren’t academic; they saved lives and connected the world. Read the full article

Thousands of fish killed in Cornwall river pollution
Mr Marks told BBC Radio Cornwall water samples confirmed pollutants had “sufficiently diluted and washed away”. While the source of the pollution had been identified and stopped, he declined to specify whether it was industrial or agricultural, citing legal sensitivities. “I don’t want to prejudice that follow-up regulation activity, but I can reassure people that it has been stopped,” he…

r Alastair CookEx-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra South Africa should maybe get the short leg or silly point in to upset Hazlewood. Vineet Jacob: The ball has gone soft and the effect of the sun is evident with not much lateral movement but the slowness of the wicket won't allow for a free flowing batting display. More catches in front of the wicket today, maybe? Marco Jansen produces a sharp piece of fielding on the rope to limit Josh Hazlewood to two runs. South Africa will be thankful to have such a tall man in the deep. Getty Images Jonathan AgnewBBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special South Africa need a lift, they're looking especially deflated. I'm going to play fast and loose with the rules here, Sam, and as it's Friday and I'm having a lovely day, Faf can enter the pantheon of palindromic cricketers. There's a lot of nail-biting going on among the South Africa fielders. I think they're getting a little bored of Hazlewood and Starc. They've put on 39 runs and eaten up 99 balls. Palindromic cricketer: Wayne Noon, ex Northants keeper.Will, CambridgeAnother palindromic cricketer is Rangy Nanan who played one Test for West Indies in 1980Malcolm, East SussexDoes Faf (Du Plessis) count as half a palindrome?Sam, Cornwall There's some discussion about the ball. A few alternative options are brought onto the field. Everyone - and I mean everyone - has a browse. And then Keshav Maharaj bowls a maiden to Josh Hazlewood. Spare a thought for those of us currently on a train from Cornwall to London, clutching our day four tickets.Sam on a train from CornwallSurely Mitchell Starc is providing a glimmer of hope, Sam? Mitchell Starc plays out a maiden. With 44 runs so far, he's got the fourth highest score in the match. I've also had an email from a BBC colleague about palindromic cricketers. Congratulations to Neil for Arun Lal - 16 Tests and 13 ODIs for India in the 1980s. Josh Hazlewood biffs a drive into the covers, dashes two, moves into double figures (10) and extends Australia's lead to 260. There's 45 minutes until lunch and Australia are still batting. How often have we seen that? An edge that doesn't carry to the slips. This time it's Josh Hazlewood off Lungi Ngidi.Aiden Markram, at second slip, shoots the ground in front of him an unimpressed glare. Incidentally, someone wrote in yesterday about Markram being a palindromic cricketer. That kept my mind occupied last night and I'm ashamed to say, I couldn't think of another. Another bowling change. Here comes Lungi Ngidi, who already has three wickets in this innings. Tailender innings like this showcase just what T20 franchises have done for Test cricket.Declan M, Slough Two byes to start the over. A single to finish it. Mitchell Starc keeps the strike and is only two runs away from becoming Australia's top scorer in this innings. Firdose MoondaCricinfo writer on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra I think Maharaj has been the most underrated, he's taken 40 wickets in this World Championship cycle. Drinks have been drunk and it's time for spin. Keshav Maharaj is bowling to Mitchell Starc. Timothy AbrahamBBC Sport at Lord's South Africa are itching to take this last wicket but perhaps they will they be encouraged by how the Lord's pitch is playing. This is the hottest day of the match so far. Is batting becoming easier? I've just asked CricViz and they say there's been 0.5 swing and 0.4 seam movement in the first hour, the lowest for any session this Test. I was at Lord's yesterday (fantastic day's cricket, great atmosphere and largely respectful banter between boisterous fans in yellow and green). Starc was dropped in the final over which really should have been taken, and SA would have started the day with Aus 9 down, and may even have taken the last wicket last night. That drop alone chang

  Une découverte vraiment passionnante de notre travail de surveillance de la migration des insectes à travers les Pyrénées était que nous voyions occasionnellement ces magnifiques guêpes migrer.
  Isodontia mexicana n’est pas originaire d’Europe et se propage rapidement. Nous avons trouvé quelques individus à près de 3 000m d'altitude, morts sur les glaciers, ce qui laisse penser qu'ils cherchaient vraiment à migrer quelque part ! De si beaux animaux et un autre élément de preuve du monde moins connu de la migration des hyménoptères.

Toya Delazy - QOBA (TashLC, Ahadadream)
QOBA is about reclaiming female self-love - a body-positive track encouraging the feminine spirit to take up space. QOBA means 'chop' in isizulu in queer culture slang synonymous with slaying, being sharp, serving, and fine tune. The best way to slay is by being oneself and having the self-love and acceptance to let yourself be free and feel at home in your own skin and being. I applaud all women who have found that place and encourage those who fear to take a chance on themselves. QOBA also touches on queer love and admiration for self-liberation.
Since the world opened up again post-Covid Toya has once again been able to connect with her fans, performing sold out shows across the UK. 2023 has seen her perform at Corsica Studios, Baile LDN and Rich Mix and she also has gigs lined up at Finland World Village Festival, Django Django's album launch party at Paper Dress Vintage in London, People Like Us Festival in Cornwall as well as two performances at Glastonbury. In March 2023 Toya dropped her new EP 'Sheesh' which immediately garnered widespread support across Spotify and radio. The lead track WOZA was added to Spotify's New Music Friday South Africa while also picking up plays from Jaguar on Radio 1, Seanie B on BBC 1Xtra, Jamz Supernova on BBC 6 Music and Scratchclart on NTS. With her energetic live performances gaining new fans every time she takes the stage and new music on the way, 2023 is set to be a big year for Toya Delazy.
