Though they began their career practicing an artier, more theatrical variant on Led Zeppelin's heavy rock sound, Queen was always capable of much more. Ultimately, Freddie and the boys were popsters at heart, and capable ones to boot. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is where they begin to show their eclecticism and compositional facility. The album title is probably a reference to the FM rock anthem "Bohemian Rhapsody," which begins as an existential ballad before moving into a mock-operatic section featuring scores of overdubbed Freddie Mercurys.
"Rhapsody" is just the tip of the iceberg here. "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" is a music-hall ditty that owes a debt to the Kinks. "'39" is a surprisingly poignant folk-rocker written and sung by Brian May. "You're My Best Friend" is pure '70s AM melodic pop. Queen even ventures into vaudeville territory (given Mercury's show-biz leanings, not as much of a stretch as one might think) on the fatalistic, old-timey "Good Company." There are several souped-up rockers here as well, but it's A NIGHT AT THE OPERA's winning stylistic experimentation that makes it a milestone in Queen history.
Shipping and handling will be $4.00 within the U.S. sShipping internationally will cost $14.00.
- A word or two about shipping and handling – My shipping and handling charge is meant to cover several things. The shipping part is easy – that is the cost the Post Office charges. Handling may include packaging costs, fees, and other expenses a seller needs to cover. As a buyer, you are expected to pay these costs, so you owe it to yourself to understand them. I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING, BUT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO COVER THESE COSTS! Please do not get angry when your shipping and handling charge seems to be more than the cost to ship the item – that is the way it works.
- For shipping outside the United States, I will require shipping confirmation. It will cost a little bit more, bu this will protect you as well as me during shipping. All shipping outside the United States will be calculated after the auction has ended. As stated above, I do not make money on shipping, but only want to recoup my cost.
- Positive feedback will always be left for you after your payment is received. I hope you will do the same for me after you receive your item.
- I expect to receive your payment no more than 7 days after the auction ends. If you are mailing your payment, please email me to let me know.
- Please don't bid unless you intend to honor your commitment.
I have just begun to start selling all my old metal t-shirts, posters, CD's, cassettes, vinyl, buttons and magazines.They are extremely tough for me to part with as I have had most of these items for 20+ years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
