''The Game'' is the eighth studio album by British rock band Queen released on 30 June 1980. It was the only Queen album to reach #1 in the US and became their best selling studio album in the US with four million copies sold to date, tying ''News of the World'' ''The Game'' features another sound than its predecessor, ''Jazz''. The album's style would be augmented on Queen's next release ''Hot Space'', and future Queen albums. At approximately 35 minutes 39 seconds, ''The Game'' is the second shortest of Queen's studio albums, with their subsequent soundtrack for the film ''Flash Gordon'' being shorter by 39 seconds. It is estimated to have sold 9 million copies worldwide, including over 4.5 million copies in the US. Reissued on May 2003 on DVD-Audio with Dolby 5.1 surround sound and DTS 5.1. The 5.1 mix of "Coming Soon" features an alternate backing track, because the final master tapes were not found when mixing the album to 5.1. The photo on the cover of the EMI CD is different from that originally used on the LP and cassette even though the Hollywood CD still has the original photo. The original photo (with Roger Taylor having folded arms and Brian May not having a hand resting upon his exposed hip) is shown in the article. This alternate photo was also used on cover of the DTS DVD-Audio edition of the album released in 2003. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Sail Away Sweet Sister", "Coming Soon" and "Save Me" were recorded from June to July 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queen – The Game (CD, Album) at Discogs )〕 The remaining songs were recorded between February and May 1980.〔 ==Song information== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Game (Queen album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
