Bohemian Rhapsody/ I'm In Love With My Car

This was the group's first big hit in the U.S. An oddly compelling song, I shudder at the thought that I might actually like it... and then realize that teenagers are rediscovering Queen, and this song is a cult hit all over again. Still, there's no argument that the flip side is a must-have glam-era rocker. Even if you can't stand "Mama Mia!" and so on, you gotta love "The machine of a dream?"... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Elektra/Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the Vinyl grades close to Mint in appearance with just a few light scuffs. I wish I could grade the A side audio Near Mint, but it has very light surface noise (a plague that afflicts most copies of this vinyl pressing, it seems), and the soft audio parts are unforgiving. Fortunately, the B side audio is Near Mint from the get-go, and you really don't hear any surface noise at all to speak of. (The overall audio grade of EX+ is an average of the two sides.)
