“A Night At The Opera was a hugely important album for us,” says Queen guitarist Sir Brian May. “It opened up the world for us.”

“We were at the peak of our confidence,” adds drummer Roger Taylor, “It felt like there wasn’t anything we couldn’t do, and it shows on that album.”

About National Album Day: This year’s theme celebrates Rock, following previous editions that, among other themes, have focused on the albums of the 90s, Women in Music, Debut Albums and, just last year, Great British Groups.

National Album Day is organised jointly by the BPI – the UK association of record companies and independent labels (BRIT Awards and Mercury Prize) – and ERA, the digital entertainment and retail association (Record Store Day). Presented in association with official broadcast partner BBC Radio 2 and now in its 8th year since launching in 2018, National Album Day sees the music community come together once again to celebrate and promote the art of the album, and will pay tribute to artists who tell their stories behind these significant and influential bodies of work.

The 18th October date for National Album Day falls in the same week as the Mercury Prize, which also celebrates the album format, and this year took place in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
