A beautiful complete first Japanese pressing of Queen – A Day At The Races, issued on Elektra with catalogue number P-10300E. This is the desirable 1976 Japanese first pressing, presented in a gatefold sleeve and complete with the original ¥2,500 pink and black obi and both inserts. The set includes the black and white single-sided Japanese liner notes insert, plus the double-sided glossy colour photo insert. A Day At The Races was released in 1976 as Queen’s follow-up to A Night At The Opera. It contains several major Queen classics, including Somebody To Love, Tie Your Mother Down, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy and Teo Torriatte, the latter being especially important in Japan because of its Japanese-language chorus and the strong connection between Queen and their Japanese audience. Japanese Queen pressings are highly appreciated by collectors for their excellent manufacturing quality, detailed artwork presentation and complete packaging. This copy is particularly strong because it includes the original obi, Japanese liner notes and colour photo insert.
