Description

Released in June 1980, The Game is the eighth studio album by British rock legends Queen. Marking a major stylistic evolution as the band's first album to feature synthesizers, The Game became Queen's first and only record to reach #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Powered by mega-hit singles including "Another One Bites the Dust," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Save Me," and "Play the Game," this multi-platinum release stands as one of the defining rock albums of the early 1980s.

Notes for collectors

This is an extraordinarily rare piece of vintage rock physical media: an authentic original 1980 US 8-track tape cartridge release (5T8 513) issued through the Columbia House Record Club, fully preserved in its original factory shrinkwrap. By 1980, 8-track cartridge production was declining rapidly in favor of cassettes, making late-era 8-track issues of major albums substantially harder to find today. Finding an original 1980 copy still completely unopened and factory-sealed in its original Columbia House slipcase makes this an exceptional, highly coveted rarity for Queen collectors and vintage tape archivists.
