QUEEN-THE WORKS-1984-THE FIRST UK PRESS-EMI-EMC2400141. A rare British original. The Works is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on February 27, 1984. The album became a kind of return to the roots. After an unsuccessful attempt to release a dance album, the band realizes that people want the old Queen with powerful heavy fast numbers (Now I'm Here, Dead On Time, Tie Your Mother Down), lyrical ballads (Love Of My Life, Jealous), hard rock ballads in the spirit of "waving the flag" (We Are The Champions, In The Lap Of The Gods), opera polyphony (The Prothet's Song, Somebody To Love) and metal fast beats (Stone Cold Crazy, Let Me Entertain You). As Brian May said, "The Works" is "A Night At The Opera" with a few touches from "The Game". The Works gave the world two famous hits: "Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want to Break Free". The album went double platinum and sold five million copies.
