Queen will mark the 50th anniversary of A Day At The Races with two vinyl editions on 11 December 2026. The release gives the classic album a new physical presentation nearly half a century after its original appearance.
Queen prepares two A Day At The Races vinyl editions
The release is scheduled for 11 December 2026, with Sony Music Entertainment named in the announcement. The official release announcement identifies the project as a 50th anniversary edition of the album.
One edition uses blue marbled vinyl. The other is a picture disc exclusive to the Queen Store, giving collectors two distinct physical versions of the same catalogue title. BroadwayWorld’s release details confirm both formats and the December date.
Queen’s fifth studio album gets a vinyl return
A Day At The Races is identified as Queen’s fifth studio album and as the group’s first self-produced record. The anniversary edition therefore connects a major catalogue album with a newly announced physical format rather than presenting a new studio recording.
The album’s tracklist includes Somebody To Love, Tie Your Mother Down, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy and Teo Torriatte. The announcement also lists Long Away, The Millionaire Waltz, You and I, White Man, Drowse and You Take My Breath Away.
Queen’s anniversary edition follows a ten-song tracklist
The announced release presents ten songs across the album’s two sides. Its selection combines familiar tracks such as Somebody To Love with deeper album cuts including Long Away and Drowse, preserving the scope of the original record in the anniversary presentation.
The two formats differ in appearance rather than in the album title being celebrated. The blue marbled vinyl is presented as a limited edition, while the picture disc is described as a Queen Store exclusive.
