Notes

Has the cat. # as 'EMC 24 0014 1(i)' on the back of the picture sleeve and has the cat. # as 'WORK1/ EMC 24 0014 1' on bottom of the sleeve (outer cover) spine.

This version has an inner sleeve with rounded corners, the version with square corners can be found here.
A different version without UK: WORK 1 or TCWORK 1 on the Sleeve reverse can be found here Queen - The Works

I would suggest the quoted shorter length Matrix / Runout details posted by Users MAY, in some cases, be incomplete - under magnification and close examination very faint stampings of additional digits can be found.

Durations do not appear on this release.

    Radio Gaga hits like a freight train. Very punchy, wow.

    This is my only pressing of the album, but I think it's underrated, showing 4.19/5 on discogs right now.

      This is one loud pressing, sounds is phenomenal. Highly recommended. Make sure you have a decent stylus as hot cuts can be hard to track with cheaper cartridges.
