Product Description
From Amazon.com
Hot on the heels of their platinum debut Dreamboat Annie, Heart released the more ambitious, less accessible Little Queen. Fortunately for them, the record contained the monolithic "Barracuda," which included one of the meanest guitar chugs since Deep Purple's "Highway Star." The song rocketed to No. 11, and the album quickly went platinum. The rest of the album, however, is less than lustrous. The mandolins that are sprinkled through the album are supposed to sound mysterious, but they're pretty laughable, and songs like "Cry to Me," "Say Hello," and "Treat Me Well" don't pack enough punch to awaken even the lightest sleeper. --Jon Wiederhorn

1977's Little Queen was Heart's second 'official' album and features the line-up that had toured their debut classic 'dreamboat annie'. Little Queen is a more adventurous album with a mix of rock and folk that, for the most part, works extremely well. The flute and mandolins play a large part in the overall sound of the album. Nancy Wilson's acoustic guitar is certainly up in the mix for this remastered version. It's not the most amazing remastering, after hearing the Fleetwood Mac reissues, but there is still vast improvement. 'Barracuda' delivers the sonic attack the music deserves. Roger Fisher still amazes on lead guitar and the real draw here is an outstanding live version of 'Stairway to Heaven' now featured as a bonus track. A demo of Love Alive is also of interest to Heart devotees. 'Dreamboat Annie' may be the classic, but 'Little Queen' illustrates why Heart were heralded the "Little Led Zeppelin"

Any self respecting rock fan should know about this album.....Forget the commercial pop orientated Heart of the 80`s 90`s this is a 70`s Rock band , rock and folkie numbers that shine brightly! Little Queen was Hearts 2nd album and I recommended to all rock fans, once upon a long ago they were heralded as Canada`s answer to Led Zep. its that good!.

In their earlier years Heart set a mould for themselves. They have pushed the boundaries pretty much ever since, even with the less 'them' albums of the '80s. This is the band still at the start of something magnificent and is a much loved part of my music collection.

Soulless remaster
My concern will apply to the mp3 file I bought from amazon not the cd but unless the mp3 was ripped from a different source it should sound identical to the cd version. Read more
