The Works

Editorial perspective

Queen and Mack produced The Works. Official member profiles identify Radio Ga Ga with Roger Taylor and I Want to Break Free with John Deacon. Our editorial route uses those different writing voices as entrances into the complete record. The videos can illuminate an individual song, but they are external references rather than archive-owned footage. Returning from a song to the track list also reveals the shorter closing Is This the World We Created...? in its album context.
