QUEEN The Game (Half Speed Master Edition 2026
UK/EU 10-track LP pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black
vinyl. Queen's eighth studio album, originally released in
1980, topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and
remains one of their most internationally successful records.
It marked the band's first use of a synthesizer, an Oberheim
OB-X, and saw them fully embrace disco and funk rhythms for
the first time, yielding "Another One Bites the Dust," written
by bassist John Deacon, and Freddie Mercury's rockabilly
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love," both of which reached
number one in the US. This edition is half-speed mastered at
Abbey Road Studios, presented inside a mirror-board
reflective silver picture sleeve, hype sticker & factory sealed).

A New Era for Queen Collectors: the transition from Universal to Sony Music
Following the historic acquisition of Queen's music catalogue by Sony Music, a major shift has occurred for physical format collectors. The band's long-standing UK distribution relationship with Universal Music Group has officially drawn to a close, meaning the existing Universal-distributed catalogue is now deleted and out of print, covering releases on the Virgin, EMI and Hollywood record labels . Moving forward, all new vinyl, CD and physical media releases-including upcoming reissues and newly manufactured stock-are produced and distributed under the Sony Music umbrella.
- Distinct New Pressings: The Sony era introduces brand-new variants, featuring fresh manufacturing details, labels, and print variations.
- Complete Your Set: Dedicated collectors may want to secure both the now deleted Universal classics and the new Sony editions to own every pressing variant.
