ANOTHER CLASSIC QUEEN L.P. NAMED AFTER A MARX BROTHERS FILM, SAME AS "A DAY AT THE RACES" THIS IS "A NIGHT AT THE OPERA" GROUCHO MARX ONCE WROTE A LETTER TO THE BAND "QUEEN" ABOUT, HOW HE HAD SOME FRIENDS, COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT PLAYED THE MUSIC, AND HAD HEARD THE TITLES OF THERE FORTHCOMING (NEW) WORKS, HE WISHED THEM LUCK AS HIS OUTINGS, OF THE SAME NAMES HAD BEEN "CLANGERS"!! LOL. THEY LATER MET FOR PHOTOGRAHS & A CHAT/LAUGH. GREAT STORY & TRUE.

THIS L.P. IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND OF A RECORDING OF COURSE FEATURING THE BANDS BEST KNOWN RECORDING & MEGA HUGE HIT - "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" KNOWN THE WORLD OVER, IF NOT THE UNIVERSE..

THE COPY HERE ON OFFER, HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF VERY MINIMAL NEGATIVE ISSUES CONDITION WISE TO LIST. OTHERWISE ITS GRADED NEAR MINT...

THE COVER IS THE DOUBLE SPINED GATEFOLD, ORIGINAL HARD CARD. AND IS IN A GREAT CONDITION, NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES OR TEARING, NO RIPS OR MAJOR STAINING. JUST A VERY SLIGHT PART OF STORAGE WEAR, HERE & THERE. THE PRINT IS WHITE MATT, SO MOST WOULD BE GRUBBY & STAINED ETC..THIS IS IN 90% PERFECT STATE. PLEASE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION FOR A CLOSE UP. INSIDE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, VERY, VERY FRESH & BRIGHT/CLEAN COVER. INTACT AND FULLY READABLE SPINE AT THE SIDE.

THE LABELS ARE PERFECT. NO WEAR OR SPINDLE MARKS NO HANDWRITING OR FADE IN PRINT, THE BEST YOU COULD WISH FOR OF THE CLASSIC L.P. ON OFFER. THEY HAVE THE FRONT COVER "QUEEN" DESIGN ON BOTH SIDES, NOT 1 SINGLE MARK OR BLEMISH, NO BUBBLING OR DAMAGE - BEAUTYS, JUST SMASHING!

THE INNER IS IN NICE SHAPE, SHARP IN PRINT ETC. THERE IS HOWEVER A SLIGHT SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM ABOUT 2  INCH OF THE RECORD HAVING PUSHED THROUGH THE INNER. APART FROM THIS ITS (PERFECTLY) PRESERVED. THIS IS NOT BAD, AND SHOULDN'T DOWNGRADE THE WHOLE PACKAGE AS THE VINYL IS SO NICE!!! YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED UPON PLAYING.

THE VINYL STILL HAS STATIC ATTACHED, NOT BEEN PLAYED IN OVER 30 YEARS! TOTALLY FANTASTIC CONDITION I DO NOT HESITATE IN SAYING MINT PLAY THROUGOUT THIS INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHED WORK. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF WARPING OF THE DISC, NO POPS, NO BACKGROUND NOISE, NO DISTORTION, NO DUST, NO NEEDLE THRASHING OF THE RECORD, NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. OR OTHERWISE. NOT ONE SINGLE MARK ON THE RECORD & I MEAN NOT 1. POSSIBLY IF YOU SCRUTINISED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT YOU WOULD SEE SOME HAIRLINES?? BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM..I COULD UPON EXAMINING THE RECORD UNDER VERY INTENSE LIGHT SEE AN INAUDIBLE HAIRLINE CAUSED BY THE DUST COVER....BUT! THIS IS BEING EXTREME IN GRADING.

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
