I've got Variant 2, but on side 1 it's Z11, not Z6...?
Every time I put on a Queen album, it's a pure joy. The quality of the pressing is well above what I'd expect, the record itself is perfectly flat, and it plays back without a hint of distortion. The audio is crystal clear, and the cover is top-notch, printed on premium paper. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. Enjoy...Setup includes: Technics SL-100C, Ortofon Concorde Music Bronze, Rega Fono MM MK5, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777, Vinyl Cleaner Pro-Ject VC-E

Queen - The Works————————————Formed in London back in 1970, Queen is a legendary British rock band. The classic lineup featured Freddie Mercury on vocals and piano, Brian May on guitar and vocals, Roger Taylor on drums and vocals, and John Deacon on bass. Initially, their music was shaped by progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal, but they eventually evolved towards more mainstream and radio-friendly styles, blending in arena rock and pop rock. ————————————The Works, Queen's eleventh studio album, hit the shelves on 27 February 1984 via EMI Records in the UK and Capitol Records in the US. Following the synth-dominated Hot Space (1982), this album marked the return of Brian May and Roger Taylor's rock roots, while still embracing the early 80s retro-futuristic electronic vibes (courtesy of Freddie Mercury) and New York funk influences (John Deacon). The recording took place at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles and Musicland Studios in Munich, from August 1983 to January 1984. The album's title was inspired by Roger Taylor's words as they started recording – "Let's give them the works!". ————————————A1 Radio Ga GaA2 Tear It UpA3 It's A Hard LifeA4 Man On The ProwB1 Machines (Or Back To Humans)B2 I Want To Break FreeB3 Keep Passing The Open WindowsB4 Hammer To FallB5 Is This The World We Created...?————————————I must say, The Works exceeded my expectations when I gave it a full listen. Sure, it's packed with hits like 'Radio Ga Ga' and 'I Want To Break Free' that everyone knows and loves, but I was genuinely surprised by the rest of the album. Even the short 'Is This The World We Created...?' is a great listen and wraps up the album perfectly. In my view, this album signifies the end of the classic Queen sound, as it's their last non-digital album (though 'Made in Heaven' is still fantastic). Highly recommended!"————————————Album Score: 7.5/10
I stumbled upon my copy at a game store for just a buck! It's clear a huge Queen fan had it before, 'cause they treated it real good. Not a single scratch and it still sounds awesome! Even the album cover is pretty much pristine.
