Queen A Night at the Opera (2022 Pressing) Half-Speed Mastered (180g) (LP)
Features Iconic Singles "Bohemian Rhapsody" & "You're My Best Friend
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 128/500
Queen's fourth studio album, A Night at the Opera, was originally released in 1975. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Albums chart and was their first to be platinum-certified. It includes the iconic singles, "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "You're My Best Friend," which reached #2 and #7 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100. This LP reissue is pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
'Queen will be the Cecil B. DeMille of rock,' proclaimed singer Freddie Mercury, and this far-ranging, rococo album is the group's ready-for-my-close-up moment. Bassist John Deacon wrote the melodic highlight 'You're My Best Friend,' a bouncy bit of Paul McCartney-esque pop; Mercury wrote the brutal rocker 'Death on Two Legs,' about the band's former manager; and guitarist Brian May wrote 'The Prophet's Song,' a doomy portent of a flood that runs 8:21 and includes a vocal canon from Mercury. But the coup was 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' an opera buffa in which Mercury combined three different songs he'd been writing into a suite that took weeks to record.
