It’s coming up for half a century (blimey) since Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and its accompanying A Night At The Opera album, and so, as is this way with these things, both are getting a 50th anniversary reissue this autumn.
Originally released in November 1975, the album is coming out again on crystal-clear vinyl with gold labels (gold, you see, for fifty). Bohemian Rhapsody, which spent nine weeks at Number One in 1975/1976 and then another five in 1991/1992 in the wake of Freddie Mercury’s death, is being reissued on transparent blue vinyl – in both 7 and 12 inch forms – and as an exclusive picture disc. There’s also a cassette, if you’re into such things.
