Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Both regal and raunchy, Queen was at the height of its powers in the mid-70s, riding the soaring vocals of Freddie Mercury, the ringing guitar crunch of Brian May and the band's shameless theatrical flourishes. Coming so quickly after the band's A Night At the Opera opus, this 1976 album works hard at repeating the same hit-making elements, down to the matching cover art. If A Day At the Races lacks the same level of pop tunesmanship, there is still energy in these tracks, particularly in the rocking "Tie Your Mother Down" and the emotional "Somebody to Love," which set a blueprint for future ballads by the band. --Steve Appleford

That there was no damage to the case and it played just fine.

As I stated there was no damage and the CD played as expected.

CD Case Is Cracked

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

The music is impeccable, as I expected, but I didn't expect a brand new CD to arrive with a broken case. The CD was shipped with two others - all new - and all of them had cracked and/or broken cases. I am wondering why in the hell Amazon doesn't include any protection whatsoever in their packaging for CDs. I have received tablets of paper with more protection. Very unhappy with this. Yes, it is just a case, but it shouldn't be damaged.

Not the best quality pressing ever, but not the worst either

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021

I picked this album up because it's got a few great songs I really liked and I wanted to be able to listen to the entire album experience on vinyl. It might sounds strange but audio quality isn't my #1 concern here, as I have MP3s that I can listen to if I'm worried about static etc. That said...

I got this one damaged to save some money because I don't care about the minimal cover much. Out of the box the album was covered in paper flecks from the inner sleeve. I blew it off and it played fine. A bit of static, but otherwise quite pleased with quality.

I suspect this album will sound better once I have it cleaned and stored in an audiophile grade inner sleeve, because low-quality paper inner sleeves create static and literally shed paper particles that cling to the record.

So right now, quality of packaging? Acceptable. Quality of inner sleeve? Junk. Quality of pressing? Seems good but time will tell after I get it cleaned up and put in a nice anti-static sleeve.

If you (like me) care more about the album itself than the "audiophile" quality, this is perfectly acceptable. It sounds like people are are true audiophiles may want to search elsewhere due to some pressing issues others have noted. The album is cheap if you are casual lisener/collector.

A MUST HAVE!

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022

Modern remastered music from the 60s and 70s has been nothing short of amazing in some cases. While a lot of remastered albums aren't a big improvement, however when they get it right like with this Queen Classic, its well worth the $$ to upgrade. Bohemian Rhapsody alone is worth the purchase of this remastered CD. Even my wife sat thru a "cranked up" session and that NEVER HAPPENS. I am truly amazed at how SOME of these classic album remasters turn out so well considering the level of technology used to record them in the 70s. Hats off to the engineers and please keep up the great work.

Great packaging, decent sound quality, pretty good price

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022

Regarding the vinyl release, the packaging is better than the vinyl sonics, but that is not a total knock on the audio, it’s just the Hollywood Records Queen releases have a really nice presentation. The vinyl mastering does have a little bit of gauze to the sound, with pretty good bass and mids, but just not any “air” in the top. However, the wax is pretty quiet, but these discs suffer from inner groove distortion on my modest Audio Technica deck, especially on the last songs of Side 1 and Side 2. For $16, it’s worth it in my mind. So far I think Queen II is best Hollywood Records Queen vinyl release I heard for the money.

Um dos principais discos do Queen

Reviewed in Brazil on November 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Esse disco é de uma importância vital na carreira da banda, pois representa a faceta ainda Rock n' Roll, mas caminhando para a fase comercial, que seria definitivamente consolidada no disco posterior. E nesse período, da década de 1970, eles acertavam em tudo o que compunham e produziam. Long Live Queen!

Fue de los primeros discos que escuché, y este vinilo que he comprado se escucha tan bien o mejor que la edición de los años 70,disco de 180 gramos muy bien remasterizado la Portada como la de los años setenta, se abre y muestra fotos de queen, y dentro hay otra funda protectora para el disco con fotos del grupo, el precio que lo compré fue una ganga fueron casi 19 euros por uno de los mejores LP de queen, recomiendo su compra, no os defraudará.

Disco de vinilo de Queen. Edición remasterizada en 2011 y vinilo de 180gr.
Suena muy bien y eso que el tocadiscos no es gran cosa, aunque debido al gramaje no tienen el sonido característico de los vinilos de antaño. Viene muy bien precintado y el envío como siempre perfecto.
