Queen ORIG OZ LP News of the world EX ’77 Elektra 6E112 Hard Rock Art Rock

Original OZ LP released in 1977 on Elektra Records. Cat: 6E112. This album has a gatefold sleeve. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which has a few tiny surface tears around edges and is in VG+ condition.
If Day at the Races was a sleek, streamlined album, its 1977 successor, News of the World, was its polar opposite, an explosion of styles that didn't seem to hold to any particular center. It's front-loaded with two of Queen's biggest anthems the stomping, stadium-filling chant "We Will Rock You" and its triumphant companion, "We Are the Champions" which are quickly followed by the ferocious "Sheer Heart Attack," a frenzied rocker that hits harder than anything on the album that shares its name (a remarkable achievement in itself). Three songs, three quick shifts in mood, but that's hardly the end of it. As the News rolls on, you're treated to the arch, campy crooning of "My Melancholy Blues," a shticky blues shuffle in "Sleeping on the Sidewalk," and breezy Latin rhythms on "Who Needs You." Then there's the neo-disco of "Fight from the Inside," which is eclipsed by the mechanical funk of "Get Down, Make Love," a dirty grind that's stripped of sensuality.

 Tracks : We will rock you/ We are the champions/ Sheer heart attack/ All dead, all dead/ Spread your wings/ Fight from the inside/ Get down, make love/ Sleeping on the sidewalk/ Who needs you/ It’s late/ My melancholy blues.
  There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks that cause a few light crackles and is in Excellent condition. Gatefold cover has a small sticker stain and tiny surface tear on top right corner and a few tiny surface tears around edges and is in VG+ condition.
