Post Description

"Somebody To Love" and "You Take My Breath Away" highlight this 1976 release

Part of a six-album SHM-SACD reissue series celebrating Queen's 40th anniversary and featuring albums Queen I, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera, A Day At The Races and News Of The World

Over the course of its career, Queen released 18 albums and 18 No. 1 singles and sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the U.K. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. The band received its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in October 2002.

As live artists, Queen - bassist John Deacon, vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitartist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor - literally conquered the world. Acknowledged as one of the greatest stadium bands of all time, Queen performed more than 700 concerts worldwide. Rock & Roll Magazine notes A Day at the Races shows up in many critics' lists of the 100 greatest albums of all time. It was the band's fifth album and their first completely self-produced album. The title followed suit with its predecessor A Night at the Opera in taking its name from a film by the Marx Brothers. A number of publications have cited A Day at the Races as one of the band's finest works.

SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as SACD. 

The classic follow-up to "A Night At The Opera", this sequel takes no prisoners featuring the two monster hits "Tie Your Mother Down" and the transcendent "Somebody To Love". (Queen trivia point: Originally written with Aretha Franklin in mind). Also includes Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) and Queen favorite "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy".
