Queen - A Day At The Races [Indie Exclusive, Blue Marble]

Released on December 10, 1976, A Day at the Races was Queen's fifth studio album and the follow-up to A Night at the Opera. Borrowing its title from another Marx Brothers film, it was also the band's first completely self-produced album, engineered by Mike Stone, and it finds them at their most confident and inventive.

"Somebody to Love" is the centerpiece, Freddie Mercury's gospel-inspired showstopper built on stacked multitracked harmonies, while "Tie Your Mother Down" is one of Brian May's toughest riffs and became a concert opener for years. "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" shows off Mercury's music hall charm, and "Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)" was sung partly in Japanese as a gift to the band's devoted fans there.

Rich, diverse and endlessly melodic, it regularly appears on lists of the greatest albums of all time.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this Indie Exclusive edition is pressed on blue marbled vinyl.
