Almost a year after the devastating death of Freddie Mercury, Queen's Brian May re-emerged with his first true solo album.  Released in September 1992, Back to the Light was the guitarist's mission statement after the fate of his longtime band seemed uncertain.  Now it's returning in various formats as the inaugural release in The Brian May Gold Series.  Expanded editions will include the bonus collection Out of the Light, a second disc of rare tracks.  The long out-of-print album returns to various formats as remastered by Bob Ludwig under the supervision of May's original co-producer/engineer Justin Shirley Smith (a Queen collaborator since 1984) and Kris Fredriksson.  Miles Showell has remastered the LP using the half-speed mastering process at Abbey Road, and May has written new liner notes.
