A Day At the Races [VINYL]

The companion album to A Night at the Opera. if you have one, you must have the other or else you just aren't a Queen fan.

Classic companion to NATO and this 2015 is a leap forward in vinyl mastering and production. I know this album back to front and I can assure you it is an even bigger joy now than it was forty years or so ago buying the original.

Obviously music is outstanding but the vinyl and production quality is like nothing ive heard....dont know how theyve managed it but the clarity of a cd with the depth and atmosphere of vinyl...amazing!

Great quality and a great price

Great album

I am a huge Queen fan and am slowly reviewing my vinyl collection, which I have upgraded to the heavy vinyl. I took my time with this review as I find this a hard album to review. The hardest of all the Queen albums to review actually for me. The problem is that it has just about my favourite song of all time - Somebody to Love - an amazing track that (in my opinion) outshines BH by a mile. I also really enjoy You Take my Breath Away & Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy. Teo Torriatte is an enjoyable ending too. The problem is, after that the album doesn't really do it for me. I don't find myself thinking that I must go and give this album a play, there are a lot of other Queen albums that would be far ahead of this (Queen II, Kind of Magic, Innuendo, Opera- even Made in Heaven). I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe the band were struggling to follow Opera - and the album is clearly Opera Part 2 (the cover is the black version of the same, like side black, side white of Queen 2). Problem is, like a sequel, it doesn't quite cut it. The tracks are not bad (apart from White Man, which I just don't like) - but they are not very memorable either. Aside from all this the heavy vinyl and sound is amazing - and it is a solid album, but not their best.

A great album, as it should be on vinyl.

Brilliant as described
