In 1976, Queen were back in the studio recording 'A Day At The Races', which was written and recorded by Queen at their happiest, riding on the crest of a wave and loving every second. The album is an infectiously jubilant piece of music full of love, optimism and good old fashioned rock and roll. Like 'A Night at the Opera' it again borrowed the name of a Marx Bros movie, and its cover was similar to that of 'A Night at the Opera', a variation on the same Queen Crest. It reached number one on the British charts and features the classics 'Tie Your Mother Down', Freddie Mercury's personal favourite composition 'Somebody To Love' and 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy'.
