This record was cut using a specialist technique known as half-speed mastering. This artisan process results in cuts that have a superior high-frequency response (treble) and very solid, stable stereo imaging. In short, a very high-quality master that helps to create a very high-quality record.

A Night At The Opera is the fourth studio album by the Queen. First released in November 1975, the album was co-produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, and was the most expensive album ever recorded at the time of its release.
“Bohemian Rhapsody was totally insane, we never stopped laughing. It was basically a joke, but a successful joke.”
- Roy Thomas Baker - Producer
The album was originally released by EMI in the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Albums Chart for four non-consecutive weeks, and Elektra Records in the United States, where it peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and became the band's first platinum-selling album in the US. The worldwide sales for the album are currently over 12 million copies.
A Night At The Opera has been voted by the public and cited by music publications as one of Queen's finest works and many critics consider it the band's definitive album. It incorporates a wide range of styles, from ballads and music hall style songs to hard rock numbers and progressive rock influences. It also produced the band's most successful single in the UK, "Bohemian Rhapsody."
A Night At The Opera is a wonderfully rich and diverse gathering of carefully constructed and, some might say, unlikely compositions from all four band members. Every track is strong and every moment from beginning to end is beautifully recorded. The late lamented Mike Stone (engineer), who sadly passed away in 2002, once again played an integral part in achieving the sound of this album. Opera spans all kinds of musical styles and genres and veers off at tangents as unlikely the album title itself.
