Queen Radio Ga Ga 1984 German 1st Press 12" Maxi Single VG+/VG
QUEEN - RADIO GA GA
The lead single from Queen’s 1984 synth-heavy landmark album The Works. Penned by drummer Roger Taylor, "Radio Ga Ga" became a massive global anthem celebrating the golden era of radio broadcasting. Issued on EMI in Germany, this 12" 45 RPM Maxi-Single presents the extended 6:50 club cut on Side A, giving Fred Mandel's iconic Roland Jupiter-8 synth basslines and Freddie Mercury’s vocal performance maximum dynamic punch. The B-side includes both an instrumental mix and the non-album rocker "I Go Crazy", making this maxi-single a crucial addition for collectors and 80s synth-rock audiophiles alike.
