Queen
A Day At The Races
180 Gram Vinyl Mastered by Bob Ludwig Halfspeed lacquers cut at Abbey Road Studios 'A Day at the Races' is the fifth album by Queen released in December 1976 It was the band's first completely selfproduced album and the first not to feature producer Roy Thomas Baker As its title suggests a companionpiece to 'A Night At The Opera' in almost every sense 'Good OldFashioned Lover Boy' recalls the fey musichall spirit of the previous album's 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' just as 'White Man' echoes 'The Prophet's Song' 'Somebody to Love' meanwhile attempts to outdo even the grandiosity of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' this time substituting the influence of American gospel for Italian opera and allowing Mercury's diva inclinations to run riot Overthetop undoubtedly but the band knew it
