Queen ) Innuendo ) 1991 (2LP Blue & Purple Vinyl 2015)

You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Innuendo is the 14th studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 4 February 1991 by Parlophone in the UK and it is the band's 1st studio album to be released by Hollywood Records in the US. Produced by David Richards and the band, it was the band's last album to be released in lead singer Freddie Mercury's lifetime. It reached the No. 1 spot on the UK album charts for 2 weeks, and also peaked at No. 1 in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. It was the 1st Queen album to go Gold in the US upon its release since The Works in 1984.
The album was recorded between March 1989 and November 1990. In the spring of 1987, Mercury had been diagnosed with AIDS, although he kept his illness a secret from the public and denied numerous media reports that he was seriously ill. The band and producers were aiming for a November or December release date in order to catch the crucial Christmas market, but Mercury's declining health meant that the release of the album did not take place until February 1991. Stylistically, Innuendo is in some sense a return to Queen's roots, with its harder rock sound, complex musical composition (title track), psychedelic effects ("I'm Going Slightly Mad"), and strong vocals from Mercury ranging three octaves (F2-F5). 9 months after the album was released, Mercury died of AIDS-derived bronchopneumonia.
The album cover was designed by Queen and Richard Gray. The booklets and single covers from the album are by Grandville, or are inspired by his illustrations. Innuendo was voted the 94th greatest album of all time in a national 2006 BBC poll.
