It was also the first Queen album to be recorded outside the United Kingdom: sessions began at \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland\u003c\/strong\u003e in July 1978 — the studio the band would later purchase outright — and concluded at \u003cstrong\u003eSuper Bear Studios in Nice, France\u003c\/strong\u003e in October. The reunion with producer \u003cstrong\u003eRoy Thomas Baker\u003c\/strong\u003e after his absence on \u003cem\u003eNews of the World\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Works\u003c\/em\u003e gave the sessions a looser, more ambitious character, and the resulting album demonstrated a band completely uninterested in consolidating a formula. The album reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber two on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber six on the US Billboard 200\u003c\/strong\u003e, and has sold over \u003cstrong\u003efive million copies worldwide\u003c\/strong\u003e. The irony of its title was entirely deliberate: the album contains no jazz whatsoever, and Brian May has confirmed the name was chosen precisely for that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's two lead singles were released as a double A-side in October 1978, generating immediate controversy and commercial success in equal measure. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Bicycle Race\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — accompanied by a music video filmed at Wimbledon Stadium featuring 65 nude female cyclists — and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Fat Bottomed Girls\"\u003c\/strong\u003e together reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber eleven in the UK\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber twenty-four in the US\u003c\/strong\u003e, producing the kind of headlines that cement a band's reputation regardless of the musical content. The musical content was, in fact, exceptional: \u003cstrong\u003e\"Don't Stop Me Now\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — released as a single in January 1979 and reaching number nine in the UK — has become one of the most beloved Queen recordings, a euphoric, piano-driven celebration of hedonism in Mercury's most uninhibited vocal performance, later voted by BBC listeners as the greatest song to exercise to and used in countless films and television series; it was ranked by \u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e as one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The album's opener \u003cstrong\u003e\"Mustapha\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is an extraordinary piece of mock-Arabic spectacle; \u003cstrong\u003e\"Dreamer's Ball\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a delicate acoustic piece influenced by Django Reinhardt; \u003cstrong\u003e\"More of That Jazz\"\u003c\/strong\u003e closes the album by quoting melodic fragments from every other track in a piece of structural self-referentiality unusual for mainstream rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e2015 Virgin EMI \/ Universal reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the album using the \u003cstrong\u003e2011 remix\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from the original multitrack recordings, \u003cstrong\u003ehalf-speed mastered on 180 gram black vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e. The half-speed mastering process — in which the lathe cuts at half the normal rotational speed, giving the cutting head twice the time to trace each groove — produces demonstrably cleaner high-frequency reproduction and more stable stereo imaging than standard-speed cuts.

After the promising but uneven debut \u003cem\u003eQueen\u003c\/em\u003e (1973) and the more ambitious \u003cem\u003eQueen II\u003c\/em\u003e (1974), this album demonstrated that the group's instinct for layered multi-tracked vocals, dynamic arrangement and stylistic range could be delivered with complete conviction across an entire record. It debuted at \u003cstrong\u003enumber two on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber twelve in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e, and was certified \u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum by the RIAA\u003c\/strong\u003e. More significantly, it produced the band's commercial breakthrough in both territories: \u003cstrong\u003e\"Killer Queen\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — released as a single in October 1974 and reaching \u003cstrong\u003enumber two in the UK\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber twelve on the Billboard Hot 100\u003c\/strong\u003e — was their first major international hit and remains one of the finest examples of Queen's ability to fuse rock instrumentation with music hall wit and operatic vocal arrangement. Freddie Mercury described it as his favourite Queen composition of the period, calling it \"a bit of a kitsch adventure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded across four studios — \u003cstrong\u003eTrident Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWessex Sound Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRockfield Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAir Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e — between July and October 1974, partly under difficult circumstances: guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eBrian May\u003c\/strong\u003e contracted hepatitis midway through the sessions and was hospitalised for several weeks, with his guitar parts completed in accelerated sessions after his recovery. The circumstances, far from diminishing the record, appear to have concentrated the remaining three members' efforts: drummer \u003cstrong\u003eRoger Taylor's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Tenement Funster\" and bass player \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Deacon's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Misfire\" are among the album's most characterful individual contributions, while Mercury's \"Killer Queen\", \"Lily of the Valley\" and the closing \"In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited\" demonstrate his growing command of the full studio as compositional tool. May's \"Now I'm Here\" and \"Brighton Rock\" (featuring the first extended live guitar solo ever recorded using a delay unit) are among the most powerful rock performances on any Queen record. The album's critical reputation has been consistently high: \u003cem\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/em\u003e called it the point at which \"everything fell into place,\" and it was ranked among the best albums of 1974 in several contemporary polls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e2015 pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the album \u003cstrong\u003eremastered at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine\u003c\/strong\u003e (℗ 2011 Queen Productions Ltd), with lacquers \u003cstrong\u003ecut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e — confirmed from the matrix runout: \"MILES ABBEY ROAD ½ SPEED\".

The album was recorded at \u003cstrong\u003eMusicland Studios in Munich, Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e, in various sessions between February and May 1980, with earlier sessions for four tracks — \"Crazy Little Thing Called Love\", \"Sail Away Sweet Sister\", \"Coming Soon\" and \"Save Me\" — taking place in June and July 1979. Produced by the band alongside long-standing collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eReinhold Mack\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Game\u003c\/em\u003e marked a significant evolution in the Queen sound: it was the \u003cstrong\u003efirst Queen album to feature a synthesizer\u003c\/strong\u003e, an Oberheim OB-X deployed by Mercury on \"Play the Game\", having previously been the defining element of the band's identity that no member played keyboards of this kind. The decision signalled a conscious move towards a more contemporary commercial sound and provoked a degree of debate among fans at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was the band's most commercially successful studio album in the United States, where it became the \u003cstrong\u003eonly Queen album to reach number one on the Billboard 200\u003c\/strong\u003e, selling in excess of four million copies in that market alone. In the UK it reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving them a transatlantic chart-topper for the first time. What made this achievement remarkable was the breadth of styles across the album's ten tracks — Mercury's rockabilly swing of \"Crazy Little Thing Called Love\" sat alongside Deacon's funk-inflected bass riff of \"Another One Bites the Dust\", May's bluesy hard rock of \"Dragon Attack\", and Taylor's pop-rock energy of \"Rock It (Prime Jive)\", with the ballad \"Save Me\" and the mid-tempo groove of \"Need Your Loving Tonight\" filling out a record that moved across genres with complete confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Crazy Little Thing Called Love\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — written by Mercury in under ten minutes while sitting in a bath in Munich — was released as a single in October 1979 and reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber two on the UK Singles Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the US Billboard Hot 100\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first Queen single to top the American chart. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Another One Bites the Dust\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, released in August 1980, became an even bigger commercial phenomenon, reaching \u003cstrong\u003enumber seven in the UK\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the US Hot 100\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it spent three weeks at the top and became one of the best-selling singles of 1980.
