Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Day At The Races , the fifth studio album by Queen, celebrates its 50th anniversary with the release of a special edition on blue marbled vinyl. Initially released on the 10th December 1976, A Day At The Races was Queen’s first self-produced album, engineered by Mike Stone. It remains one of their most acclaimed records, reaching #1 in the UK and #5 in America, where it was issued a week later and became Queen's first American album to reach Gold status before moving on to Platinum. The first single from the record, Somebody To Love, released three weeks before the album, has become one of Queen's best-known songs, featuring beautifully complex layered vocal tracks inspired by a gospel choir arrangement. Other singles from the album included Brian May’s Tie Your Mother Down, which became one of the band’s best-loved live tracks. The Vaudeville-inspired Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and two firm fan favourites, the beautiful 12-string-driven Long Away, a single in the US and New Zealand, and Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together), a single in Japan, partly sung in Japanese and specifically dedicated to Queen’s fans there. A Day At The Races regularly features in lists of the best albums of all time. As it reaches its half-century, its reputation for expertly crafted songs such as Somebody To Love and incredible creativity on tracks such as The Millionaire Waltz grows with every passing year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
