Queen II on Wikipedia
Queen II is the second studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 8 March 1974. The album is notable for its combination of a heavy rock sound with an art rock sensibility. It has been called "a pillar of grandiose, assaultive hard rock" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This album is unique in that, instead of having a Side 1/Side 2, or Side A/Side B, it has Side White/Side Black. The white side has songs with a more emotional theme and the black side is almost entirely about fantasy. To mirror this theme, two of the tracks are titled "White Queen (As It Began)" and "The March of the Black Queen."
