Rebooted and rewired, Queen produced some of their most immortal hits during this imperial Eighties phase. Built around an improvised studio jam, their infectious David Bowie collaboration Under Pressure became a global chart-topping smash. The retro-futurist epic Radio Gaga and the humorously romantic I Want To Break Free stand as testaments to their early mastery of synthesizers, while the muscular ripcord riffs of Hammer To Fall and octave-vaulting grand-piano acrobatics of It's a Hard Life are vintage Queen both sonically and lyrically.

Gatefold sleeve with lyric/picture inner sleeve, published by Queen Music Ltd. / EMI Music Publishing Ltd. - Orange vinyl. Joan Armatrading appears courtesy of A&M Records. Some songs on this album appear in different form in the film "Highlander". The inclusion of Innuendo and Made in Heaven as a 2LP was a great decision, and we finally have both of them complete on vinyl.

A couple of the sleeves seem pretty cheap. Not so much the actual material it was made out of, but good God some of the scans are poor. The Miracle looks horrible, I have no idea how somehow said it was good for production. The pictures of the band members in the gatefold of ANATO are horribly pixilated as well.
