News of the World is the sixth studio album by English rock band Queen, released in 1977.

Containing such hit songs as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" (which are both commonly heard at sporting events) and "Spread Your Wings", the album went four times platinum in the United States alone and is tied with 1980's The Game as Queen's best American selling album.

Despite being an abrupt departure from the band's progressive sound, the album is considered one of Queen's strongest albums from the 1970s. It received mixed reviews from both critics and fans upon its release, but today it is considered to be a milestone album in the development of arena rock.

News of the World was the second album to be produced solely by the band (the first being A Day at the Races) and was recorded at Sarm West and Wessex Studios, England and co-produced and engineered by Mike Stone.

  • The vinyl.

    There isn't much to say this vinyl looks superbe!. I can't see a blemish! Obviously any whispy lines that could possibly be seen would only have been caused by the vinyl been removed\slid in and out of its sleeve! I have stored the vinyl seperately in a poly sleeve all of its storage life! I have only played this a handful of times in 30 years! There are absolutely (no) needle scratches or any audio sounding marks! The audio is as good as it gets for the earliest UK pressing! So hard to find in this condition!!!!

    The labels

    Look superbe! Only a handful of spider marks can only be seen in strong light! this has hardly ever been played!

    The Record Sleeve

    This original lyric sleeve has (no) splits or tares or creases as new!

    The Cover

    This is the original Garrod & Lofhouse (non) laminated gatefold cover in superbe condition (no) splits or tares or creases just the lightest of rubbing to the edges and cover (only noticed if looked for in strong light!) super square corners!! Please note! these original G&L  covers are the hardest to find like this!! Exceptional condition for 30 years old!!!!! Awesome superbe spine ! Amaizingly the writing can be seen clearly on the spine

  • Please do not underestimate the rarety of this album and being an original 1st press that is 30 years old is becoming more and more collectable and in this condition will rarely ever be seen like this!!!!!!
