Description
Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums in the history of popular music, A Night at the Opera is the monumental release that launched Queen into global superstardom. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker alongside the band, it was famed at the time as the most expensive album ever recorded, tracked across multiple legendary UK studios and mixed with an emphasis on "No Synthesisers!".
Audiophiles and rock purists heavily seek out this original 1975 Elektra analog master for its breathtaking dynamic range, immense soundstage, and legendary vocal separation. The record contains their definitive, multi-platinum operatic masterwork, "Bohemian Rhapsody," alongside the hit single "You're My Best Friend" and the stadium rock track "Death on Two Legs". Because this historic copy remains factory-sealed, the original custom printed lyric inner sleeve is safely preserved inside in untouched condition.
