Queen
A Night at the Opera
EMI 1975 - EMTC 103
Queen’s best known album, the recording of which played a large part in the recent biopic about the band.
The album contains Bohemian Rhapsody, often voted the best song ever written!
‘Blairs’ etched on both Side 1 AND Side 2
Matrix / Runout (side A, stamped): YAX 5063-2
Matrix / Runout (side B, stamped): YAX 5064-3
The sleeve is excellent with a beautifully clear and vibrant spine and very little sign of the usual handling and storage wear.
The stiff card inner with three cut corners as required for the first pressings, is also Excellent. Prone to rubbing and ringwear, this is a crisp, vibrant copy with just one small split on the edge opposite the opening. A great example - the vinyl is now housed in a brand new generic poly lined inner.
The vinyl is fantastic - visually Excellent with just a couple of light surface marks but retaining a beautiful surface sheen. The audio however is Excellent. There is some minor background static in some areas but never anything that is detrimental to the beauty and clarity of the music.
Overall a great example of a sought after record.
