QUEEN: A Night At The Opera (EXTREMELY RARE 2001 JAPANESE ADVANCE MEDIA ABBEY ROAD TECHNOLOGY 24bit DIGITAL REMASTER PROMOTIONAL CD TOCP-65844) LONG OUT OF PRINT.
The 2001 Queen Forever Japanese 24bit Digital Remaster Series No.4 (The whole series is numbered on the obi strip spine, 20 albums)
A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 21 November 1975 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, it was reportedly the most expensive album ever recorded at the time of its release. The album's title is taken from the Marx Brothers film of the same name.
A Night at the Opera was recorded at various studios across a four-month period in 1975. Due to management issues, Queen had received almost none of the money they earned for their previous albums. Subsequently, they ended their contract with Trident Studios and did not use their studios for the album (with the sole exception being "God Save the Queen", which had been recorded the previous year). They employed a complex production that extensively used multitrack recording, and the songs incorporated a wide range of styles, such as ballads, music hall, dixieland, hard rock and progressive rock influences. Aside from their usual equipment, Queen also utilised a diverse range of instruments such as a double bass, harp, ukulele and more.
Upon release, A Night at the Opera topped the UK Albums Chart for four non-consecutive weeks. It peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and became the band's first platinum-certified album in the US. The worldwide sales for the album are over six million copies. It also produced the band's most successful single in the UK, "Bohemian Rhapsody", which became their first UK number one. Despite being twice as long as the average length of singles during the 1970s, the song became immensely popular worldwide.
Retrospective reviews have hailed it as Queen's best album, and one of the greatest albums in rock music history. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 128 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2018, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. It has now sold in excess of 15 million albums worldwide.
Centre of the CD has sample not for sale printed in either Japanese or english and the back features a unique numbered sticker in Japanese. All tracks that had been originally shortened for radio play on the original releases are RESTORED HERE IN THIS SERIES TO THEIR ORIGINAL RUNNING TIME.
In 2001 Toshiba-EMI Japan commissioned EXCLUSIVE JAPAN ONLY REMASTERING and re-issued the entire Queen catalogue of albums. They were carefully digitally re-mastered to 24bit digital. The ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES WERE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR CD MASTERING except on the newer digital recordings.
This was the first time they were properly mastered for CD by Peter Mew at Abbey Road Studios with minimal dynamic range compression and they sound amazing. There are no bonus tracks etc, because the main aim here is to make the entire catalogue as Queen intended, every album as it was originally released but beautifully bought up to CD standard for the first time and preserve the integrity of each album almost totally removing the noise floor. These 2001 Remasters and the 2004 Mini LP Replicas (which are sonically identical) are my "go to” Queen recordings.
These original analogue masters have been digitally transferred at 24 bits resolution, processed using Sonic Solutions NoNoise technology and mastered to 16bit for CD using Prism SNS Noise Shaping superior dithering as the crucial step.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER RELEASED IN MY OPINION.
This is an extremely rare PROMOTIONAL PRE-RELEASE ADVANCE
