MASTERWORKS MWOA008CD1/2DVD1

The 1980 album “The Game” is now available in a 2CD & 1DVD set as the 8th installment of the “Expanded Collector's Edition,” Queen's ultimate in-depth album study series. In 1979, the single “Ai ni Namae no Desire” became the first number one single in the U.S., followed by the smash hits “Save Me” and “Play The Game”. The single “Jigoku e e michi no tsuzure” was another number one single in the U.S., and became Queen's biggest-selling single at the time, a big hit in many countries around the world. The album “The Game,” which included a series of hit singles, expanded the band's musical range from rockabilly to funk disco to new wave, and even introduced synthesizers, a change from the no-synthesizer sound that the band had dared to use in the past. This is a memorable album that marks the beginning of a new era for Queen, who were at the height of their popularity when they reached number one on the U.S. album charts and had the highest sales in their history, coupled with their largest-ever world tour. CD2 is also an “alternate album” featuring separate mixes of all songs and rare remixes. The DVD contains the same remixes as the previous releases in the series, plus a DVD with a multi-audio selection that allows you to compare and contrast four different multi-audio selections, including remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mix, instrumental karaoke tracks, vocal main tracks, and more. The “Audio Album” includes a 5.1 surround mix, an instrumental karaoke track, and a vocal main track, as well as a “Video Collection” that includes different versions of the promo video and TV and live footage.

Collector's Point
The first half of CD1 is “Original Album Remixed and Remastered”, which includes all the songs from the album in a revised and remastered version with detailed sound editing. The second half of CD1 contains a number of different versions and live versions of the album. The second half of the album includes a number of different versions and live versions of songs, including “Need Your Loving Tonight,” “Rock It,” a rare live soundboard recording from this period, another version of an officially released song, and the unreleased “Sandbox,” the original version of “Coming Soon. CD2 is an “alternate album” featuring multi-track remixes and officially released DJ remixes of all the songs on the album. The DVD is an “audio album,” as it has been in the past, and includes a remix of the entire album with real-time lyrics. The DVD is an “audio album” as before, with lyrics playing in real time on all tracks, and four different audio options that allow you to select and compare remastered stereo, 5.1 surround mixes, instrumental tracks, and vocal main tracks. Not only for the maniacal comparison of sound sources, you can also play the instrumental tracks to enjoy karaoke along with the video, or check out the songs and chorus with the vocal main tracks, where Freddie's vocals are the main focus and the performance is kept to a minimum. ” Video Collection” features promo videos for the four singles ‘Play the Game,’ ‘Ai to na na no Desire,’ ‘Jigoku e michi no tsuzure,’ and ‘Save Me,’ as well as rare making-of scenes for each song, plus a rare sound check of ‘Ai to na no desire’ that was only broadcast once before on the BBC. In addition to promo footage of the four singles, “Hell's Road,” “Save Me,” and a making-of featurette for each song, the DVD also includes a rare BBC sound check of “Lust in the Name of Love,” footage from Saturday Night Live, and selected live performances from South America to London to Japan.
