The first five albums highlight the diverse talent, musical ambition and already global success of a band made up of some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all time.

In 1976, Queen were back in the studio recording =A Day At The Races‘, which was written and recorded by Queen at their happiest, riding on the crest of a wave and loving every second. The album is an infectiously jubilant piece of music full of love, optimism and good old fashioned rock and roll.Like =A Night at the Opera‘ it again borrowed the name of a Marx Bros movie, and its cover was similar to that of =A Night at the Opera‘, a variation on the same Queen Crest. It reached number one on the British charts and features the classics =Tie Your Mother Down‘, Freddie Mercury‘s personal favourite composition =Somebody To Love‘ and =Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy‘.
