The 40th anniversary of legendary Queen singer Freddie Mercury’s majestic debut solo album Mr Bad Guy is being celebrated with a lavish new vinyl reissue.
Originally released end of April 1985, Mr Bad Guy was Mercury’s first album away from the group he had co-founded 15 years before and helped steer to staggering artistic and commercial heights. It found him breaking free from the confines of a band, swapping Queen’s chameleonic, arena-sized music for a set of songs that combined his unique songwriting with a driving, dance and pop-inspired sound.
