Queen - The Works (Deluxe Edition) (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Works is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 20 February 1984 in the US and on 27 February 1984 in the UK by EMI Records just shortly after recording for the album had been completed in the United Kingdom and it is the band's first studio album to be released by Capitol Records in the United States. After the synth-heavy Hot Space (1982), the album saw the re-emergence of Brian May and Roger Taylor's rock sound, while still incorporating the early 80s retrofuturistic electronic music (at the behest of Freddie Mercury) and New York funk scenes (John Deacon's topic of interest). Recorded at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, California, and Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, from August 1983 to January 1984, the album's title comes from a comment Taylor made as recording began – "Let's give them the works!".

The Deluxe Edition features a 6-track bonus disc of additional material!
