As part of the next batch of re-releases to celebrate Queen’s 40th anniversary celebrations, Universal Music have released four studio albums and the soundtrack from the film Flash Gordon.
In 1977 the band released News of the World with much expectation after the mixed reviews the band got over their previous release A Day at the Races. If there were any doubts or misconceptions about the forthcoming album during the summer of 77 then by the time the first songs hit the airwaves in the autumn of that year they were soon forgotten and omitted from people’s memories as the double A side of We Will Rock You/ We are the Champions stormed up the charts to a peak of number 2 in the British singles charts and number 4 in America.
