Queen - A Night At The Opera [50th Anniversary Edition 180g Clear Vinyl LP]
Queen's masterpiece, A Night At The Opera, was released in November, 1975. It was the album that cemented the band's place in the pantheon of supreme rock bands and songwriters, all in one fell swoop. To celebrate it's 50th anniversary, Queen are pleased present the album on 180g clear vinyl.
Named after the Marx Brothers' film of the same name, A Night at the Opera was recorded at various studios across a four-month period in 1975. Due to management issues, Queen had received almost none of the money they earned for their previous albums. Subsequently, they ended their contract with Trident Studios and did not use their studios for the album (the sole exception being "God Save the Queen", which had been recorded the previous year). They employed a complex production that extensively used multitrack recording, and the songs incorporated a wide range of styles, such as ballads, music hall, sea shanties, dixieland, hard rock and progressive rock influences. Aside from their usual equipment, Queen also utilised a diverse range of instruments such as a double bass, harp, ukulele and more.
