They achieved\nlegendary status as they delivered THE defining performance of\nthe century at Live Aid as well as headlining massive stadium\nconcerts all over the world. Queen also released some of their\nbest loved and most anthemic work in this period, before and\nafter the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow in 2011 Island Records reissue the five Queen albums\nfrom this period on September 5th (to coincide with what would\nhave been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday) as part of the\nband’s 40th Anniversary celebrations – ‘The Works’, ‘A Kind Of\nMagic’, ‘The Miracle’, ‘Innuendo’ and ‘Made In Heaven’. The\nreissues will be accompanied by the third in the ‘Queen: Deep\nCuts’ series, which looks at some of the lesser known tracks\nfrom these albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Queen favourites were released during this period\nincluding ‘Radio Gaga’ (the track from which Lady Gaga took\nher name), ‘I Want To Break Free’ (complete with the infamous\ncross-dressing Coronation Street parody video that MTV\nbanned in the US), ‘One Vision’, ‘A Kind of Magic’, ‘I Want It All’,\n‘The Miracle’ and ‘These Are The Days of Our Lives’ (featuring\nFreddie’s final haunting video appearance).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese five albums cover the era when Queen were elevated to\ntruly legendary status as they stole the show at Live Aid in front\nof a global TV audience of 1.9 billion people, and wowed\naudiences with subsequent headline shows at Knebworth and\nWembley in 1986, the latter recently voted by the public as one\nof the most iconic events ever seen at the stadium. This was\nalso Queen’s most consistent period of commercial success\nwith each of the five albums going platinum in the UK and ‘A\nKind of Magic’ and ‘Made in Heaven’ each selling over 1 million\ncopies, the latter doing so four years after Freddie’s death\nshowing that the Queen legacy reigns eternal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as their huge UK gigs they continued the global\ndomination of the late 70’s playing Rock in Rio twice to crowds\nof over 300,000 each time.

Subsequently The Mercury Phoenix Trust was\nfounded to help distribute money raised from this concert for\nAIDS awareness. Since then, the Trust has raised and\ndistributed over $15 million to help in the fight against AIDS.\nThe charity has just created a truly unique initiative with the\nlaunch of the 'Freddie For A Day' Global Charity Network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQueens 40th Anniversary year has kicked off in spectacular\nstyle so far with their first ever major exhibition 'Stormtroopers\nin Stilettos' in London’s East End which drew an incredible\ncrowd of over 20,000 visitors in two weeks, and kicked off with a\nstar studded launch party attended by the likes of Foo Fighters\nand Jessie J.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA recent two part BBC TV documentary drew widespread rave\nreviews as Brian May and Roger Taylor looked back over their\nfirst 40 years in detail for the first time. The Guardian described\nit as ‘fantastic and moving’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile the bands first ten albums have been reissued to\nconsiderable acclaim. The Telegraph said of their early work,\n'Queen's greatest music was extravagantly innovative,\ntechnically brilliant and created with a jeweller's care.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese last five studio albums highlight the diverse talent,\nmusical ambition and global success of a band made up of\nsome of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all\ntime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49975688102130,"sku":"2780003","price":3.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-32637.jpg?v=1787639680","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/innuendo-remastered-standard-edition","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
