Jazz is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 10 November 1978 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. The album's varying musical styles were alternately praised and criticised.
Покупайте и продавайте винил и компакт-диски, формируйте собственную коллекцию записей Queen. This grouping collects all versions of the "Jazz" album, originally released in 1978 on vinyl and tape, as well as its subsequent repressings and re-issues. Interestingly, some territories retitled the album as "Bicycle Race" and even changed the sleevework. Officially, the entire back catalogue was re-issued for the first time on CD in 1986, and again on CD/tape in remastered form in 1991 for the US market (via Hollywood Records and adding a few non-album tracks or remixes not included on the original versions).
Arguably (quite arguably), Jazz is Queen’s most interesting and fun album. The eclectic set of 13 songs showcases each of the four member’s distinct songwriting style. Overall, the album offers a sleek and slick array of confident songcraft and studio prowess. None of the tunes veer into jazz, the musical genre. The album’s title may refer to jazz as the phrasal verb, as defined in the Oxford Dictionary, to make something more interesting, lively, or exciting.
With the album ready to go, Queen, along with Elektra and EMI, threw one of rock’s most lavish parties. Held in New Orleans, the entertainment included – naked female mud-wrestlers, dwarfs, fire-eaters, jazz and steel bands, Zulu dancers, voodoo dancers, strippers, drag artists and unicyclists. Released on 10 November 1978, Jazz was the band’s longest album to that point. It went Platinum in the US, and their love for that country was cemented with another winter tour that took them from Dallas to Inglewood and then home to Britain in time for Christmas. British audiences wouldn’t see them for quite a while, but as usual, it was worth the wait.

Notes
Different front and back. Not gatefold. Single cover. Release date not clear. Certainly released before Seoul Olympics of 1988 or a couple of years later since at those times rock music was banned in South Korea and considered dangerous for the Korean youth and the Korean society in general. Only few selected records of rock/western artists were not vetoed by the Ministry of Education and Culture which allowed their publication sometimes with censored covers or edited track listings (see Iron Maiden "Piece of Mind" album).- Album originally released in 1978.
This version released date : 1978 ~ the 1980s.
