A Day at the Races

Original UK album release:

Editorial perspective

QueenOnline identifies this as the first album produced by the band themselves, with Mike Stone engineering. For an editorial route, begin with the album's own sequence rather than its resemblance in title to A Night at the Opera. Tie Your Mother Down opens that sequence and Teo Torriatte closes it. The individual song records let you move between the central tracks and those bookends, while the edition record explains which timings you are comparing.
