Queen – “The Game”
Label: Elektra – 5T8 513 (Columbia House Club Edition)
Format: 8-Track Stereo Tape Cartridge
Country: USA
Released: 1980
Genre: Rock / Pop
Style: Arena Rock, Pop Rock

DESCRIPTION

Issued in 1980, The Game marked a pivotal moment for Queen, blending their trademark rock grandeur with polished pop hooks and the early use of synthesizers. This Columbia House edition was distributed under license by Elektra/Asylum Records specifically for mail-order club members — a variant seldom found sealed today. The 8-track features the complete album split across four programs, including worldwide hits “Another One Bites the Dust” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Its silver-jacket artwork and factory shrinkwrap make it a pristine artifact of late-’70s/early-’80s hi-fi culture, ideal for collectors of sealed U.S. club issues.
