Queen – Radio Ga Ga (EMI 1984) Vintage Maxi Single 12"

This original 12" maxi-single by Queen from 1984 contains one of the most iconic songs of the 80s: Radio Ga Ga . Written by Roger Taylor, the track is both a tribute to the golden age of radio and a critique of the superficiality of modern music television at the time. The song became a worldwide hit and remains one of the band 's trademarks to this day.

The maxi version on this record offers the Extended Version Mix as well as the B-side I Go Crazy – a powerful, raw rock song with unmistakable Queen energy.

Historical background

Queen , founded in London in 1970, revolutionized rock music with their blend of glam, theatricality, and musical precision. Following classics like Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You , Radio Ga Ga marked a new era in the band's sound – more electronic, but still unmistakably Queen. The song's legendary performance at Live Aid in 1985 cemented its place as a cult classic in music history.
