ABOUT THE RECORD:

As the album arrived on May 22, 1989, Mercury announced that he was ready to break the tour-album-tour cycle that had long consumed the band. Queen, for the first time, didn't hit the road to support their newest studio project.

Sales, in particular in the U.K., remained robust. The Miracle topped the charts there, going platinum. In the states, Queen earned another Top 25 showing. The album's lead single, "I Want It All" added another signature anthem to their catalog on its way to the No. 3 on Billboard's mainstream rock singles chart – and the top spot in England.

Meanwhile, the layered, typically complex nature of The Miracle provided little in the way of overt clues as to what really lay ahead for Queen. Though often bogged down by the sleek synthy sheen of its day, the project found Queen again deftly melding pop, arena rock and light opera themes. All of the familiar bombast was there. "Anthems," as Roger Taylor told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1989, "are our business."

Reviews at the time praised both Mercury (Rolling Stone said he "has never sounded better") and May, who adds some classic crunch to tracks like "Khashoggi's Ship" and "Was It All Worth It" – the latter of which draws a direct line back to their intricately conceived '70s triumphs. Newsday said May's runs were "as flashy and supple as ever."

In a show of solidarity, every song on The Miracle was credited to the entire band, a first. "Party," the album-opening cut, even featured a rare segment with May on the mic; he shared the bridge vocal with Mercury on "I Want It All," as well. All four of their names are embedded in lyrics for "The Invisible Man." Then there was the album's striking cover image, a combining of all four member's faces into one gestalt portrait.

Four more singles followed "I Want It All" but, with no tour to prop them up, they were mostly met with declining interest. "Breakthru" reached No. 7 in their native England, "The Invisible Man" climbed to No. 12, and "Scandal" went to No. 25. The album's title track actually just missed the U.K. Top 20. None, however, charted in the U.S.

RECORDS (VINYL) GRADES :

SS(STILL SEALED) Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

M(MINT) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.

NM or M-(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. Avery minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but not scratched The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright,clean and unmarked.

EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Disc plays near perfectly,but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality.There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+(VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs,but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster;labels may have minor imperfections:(Slightly warped ,small labels or initials,etc.) but otherwise clean.

VG(VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noises, but don't overpower the music. There  will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks,larger writing, etc.but still easily legible. slightly warped, There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

G(GOOD) Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses,pops, cracks and other nasties ). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

F(FAIR) P (POOR) Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful.These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along. W writing on label, sticker or any remaining adhesive to the label

ALBUM COVER GRADES

SS(STILL SEALED) Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.

M(MINT) Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

NM or M-(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+(VERY GOOD PLUS) Cover is but may have minor writing or marks and may shows light wear. There may be just the of ring wear, where the area disc has created a raised on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper.There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears.Corners may have small creases or fraying.

VG(VERY GOOD) Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. PAPER COVER WITH BREAK DOWN AND FLAKED EDGES. There is moderate ring wear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks.Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.

G(GOOD) Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply : Seam splits,marker writing, major seam splits,significant ring wear, damaged corners,tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection until something better can be found.

F(FAIR) P (POOR) Trash, usable only to keep the record off the floor. Writing on label, sticker or any remaining adhesive to the label.

I grade very conservative so there are no surprises. However if you disagree and are not pleased i refund 100% no questions asked. Buy with confidence.

Thank you and Happy listening!
