QUEEN-INNUENDO-1991-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-PARLOPHONE-058-7958871. A very rare German original of the cult album. Innuendo is the fourteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on February 4, 1991. The last album "Queen", recorded and released during the lifetime of Freddie Mercury.

Nevertheless, the album was finished and well received by the public. Several music videos were shot in support of him, one of which, "These Are The Days of Our Lives", became the last video featuring Mercury.Despite mixed reviews from critics, Queen's new album reached the top spot in the album charts of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and her native UK, becoming double platinum.

Tracks 3 and 8 were recorded as Spice songs before the band was renamed Uriah Heep, and featured session musician Colin Wood on keyboards.
