When Queen’s 11th studio album The Works was released in the UK on February 27th 1984, many fans and critics alike hailed this as a return to their rock roots and the traditional ‘Queen sound’ had returned, which was absent on the previous album Hot Space, in 1982. Although this new album made a deliberate use of electronic sounding keyboards for the first time, with some tracks helped out by their ‘USA Tour’82’ keyboard player Fred Mandel, the media were unusually kind in their overall comments on the album, Record Mirror described it as 'Another jewel in the crown'.
The album entered the UK chart at number two, on the anticipation of a brand new album from the band for nearly two years, and on the strength of the current hit single Radio Ga Ga, which had been released just over four weeks prior. The album would reach number one in Portugal and Holland and the Top 10 everywhere else around the world. The album went platinum in the UK and Gold in the USA where the album reached number 23.
