Queen is a legendary rock band that rose to fame in the 1970s. With their unique blend of rock, opera, and glam influences, they became one of the most iconic and influential bands in history. Led by the charismatic Freddie Mercury, Queen produced hit after hit, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," and "Another One Bites the Dust." Their electrifying live performances captivated audiences around the world, solidifying their status as one of the greatest live acts of all time. Even after Mercury's untimely death in 1991, Queen's music continues to resonate with fans old and new.
Queen's innovative sound pushed boundaries and defied genres. Their ability to seamlessly transition from hard-hitting rock anthems to tender ballads showcased their versatility as musicians. Each member brought their own unique talents to the table - Brian May's virtuosic guitar playing, Roger Taylor's powerful drumming, John Deacon's melodic bass lines - creating a dynamic chemistry that set them apart from other bands.
Throughout their career, Queen released numerous critically acclaimed albums and received countless awards for their contributions to music. Their impact on popular culture cannot be overstated; they have inspired generations of artists across various genres. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering their music for the first time, Queen's timeless songs are sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

180 Gram Vinyl. Mastered by Bob Ludwig. Half-speed lacquers cut at Abbey Road Studios. 'The Works' is the eleventh studio album by Queen, released in February 1984. After the synth-heavy 'Hot Space', the album saw the re-emergence of Brian May and Roger Taylor's rock sound, while still incorporating the early 80s retro futuristic electro pop of the German electronic underground (Freddie Mercury) and New York funk scenes (John Deacon). Recorded at the Record Plant Studios and Musicland Studios from August 1983 to January 1984, the album's title comes from a comment Taylor made as recording began - "Let's give them the works!"
