Last night my daughter Lexie ended up at Sunrise Records and scored this album for her Dad(moi)!
Queen/The Game!!!!
If you recall Queen were one of the first bands along with KISS/Cheap Trick/New England/AC-DC that I had discovered when The Game was released back in June of 1980.
Queen had their own sound and did not sound at all like the four bands mentioned above and the fact that they could lead off an album with a track called Play The Game and keep this 13-year-old at the time amused is impressive to say the least!
Always loved the silver shiny cover which was opposite of all the dark colours used on most albums. The band decked out in leather and Freddie Mercury is mustache less as well! Ha!
This album inside is pure brilliance and I’m stoked to get this again!
Lex was pumped to buy this for me as an early Bday gift and she didn’t want to wait to give it to me as she has heard me for months now babble on and on at how classic this record is and how much of a music game changer it was for me.
My babble only intensified as Lex and her twin sister Lauren were in their High School production of We Will Rock You. Lex said she couldn’t believe it that Sunrise had it and she said it was no brainer purchase as only copy of The Game was stocked!
Thanks a bunch Lex!

By the way friends. Read Sarca’s great post about music that she just put up on her site which led me to post this little Queen snippet.
