Queen had at this point reached stardom. So, how the hell can they cope with releasing a better album than A Night At The Opera?
Same great and wild opening song as "A Night At The Opera's" Death On Two Legs with "Tie Your Mother Down." And then, a beautiful and melodic sweet song like Love Of My Live with You Take My Breath Away. So far, so great. And they don't stop there...
The Millionaire Waltz (Mercury, of course) is brilliant. Varied, fresh, unpredictable, gorgeous, melodic, rocking, theatrical. Ever heard of this before? Yes, it has more Bohemian flavour as some other song featured on this album. Big fave here. By several miles...
And amazingly, You And I is another powerful track. A usual combination of great keys and sumptuous vocals; but who would doubt about this genuine Queen quality? Somebody To Love is of course another highlight of this album. Reminiscent of the fabulous Bohemian Rhapsody. Fabulous vocals and great choir work.
The band is distilling some great hard-rock in the song White Man. May is again rather convincing as a guitar player but even more as a song writer. It will appeal to any hard-rocking fan.
"A Day At The Races" is arguably more consistent than "A Night At the Opera". No such masquerade as Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon or Seaside Rendez-Vous.

CONDITION: the cover: gatefold cover is hard to find this clean M- as the black cover is almost always found with shelf wear...here, the best copy we've had and there's a nice "Elektra" promotional sticker on front cover which raises the value as the limited re-release. No bends, no writing and no split seams...TOP display worthy collectible
the vinyl: glossy clean on both sides ~~ all clear M- looks and plays beautiful and the white promo labels are both lean too....TOP collectible!
