Editorial perspective

Play The Game occupies position 1 in the identified The Game programme. It opens this programme. The next work is Dragon Attack. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: Recorded at Musicland in Munich, The Game was produced by Queen and Mack. John Deacon's official profile documents his authorship of Another One Bites the Dust. Our editorial route contrasts that credit with the album's wider running order, from Play the Game to Save Me. This is also a useful point at which to compare original release context with later digital editions: the album belongs to 1980, while the timings displayed here describe identified remastered recordings.

The timing belongs to Play The Game - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
