    This record rules! Insane sound quality. If you can, get this Kip cut! Everything sounds fresh and lively.

      What the hell, this record RIPS. Insane quality. I think it might be the best sounding Queen record I have after The Game and News of the World.

        So interesting to hear the debut album from the best band in the world

          'Liar' sounds so raw and much louder than the other tracks, it's like sandpaper to the face. But in a good way.

            This is the absolute Queen’s album with some of the most “operatic” songs of their career, going with Queen II. This album includes 6 of my personal favourite songs… An amazing wonderful album and experience to listen to!

              I have 3 different pressings of this album. Queen was never known for having the best sounding records, especially their first two (Queen II has so much going on I can't find a decent sounding vinyl copy, the original '87 CD is the best for me). I have this (Huggy Poo Kissy Kissy copy), a 1976 US Butterfly label and the 2015 Purple remaster. This beats out all of those by a lot. This is the one to get!

                If you're looking for this record, i recommend the first UK pressing. I have the YAX 4623-5 BLAIR RULES, and man it just sounds so good.

                  I have an LP 180 gr , dated 2018, Made in Europe. It's Virgin EMI licences by Universal International to DE AGOSTINI Publishing. In the above I see a similar VIrgin EMI De Agostini, but Japan version. There is no barcode. Any idea which release is this?

                    I just picked up this UK 1st pressing in the expensive section of a large vintage lp store. Amazing condition! Got it home and was blown away by the sound in each track . I am so happy I found this rare gem! I highly recommend this copy!
