Description

Hot Space is Queen's tenth studio album and one of the band's most adventurous releases. Originally issued in 1982, the album saw Queen embrace funk, dance and electronic influences while retaining their trademark rock sensibilities. Featuring the worldwide hit "Under Pressure" with David Bowie, alongside fan favourites such as "Body Language", "Las Palabras De Amor" and "Back Chat", the album remains a fascinating and increasingly appreciated chapter in Queen's catalogue.

Pressing Notes

Original UK EMI Records pressing issued under catalogue number EMA 797. Released during a period of musical experimentation for the band, Hot Space showcased Queen's willingness to explore contemporary dance and funk sounds. Early UK pressings remain popular with collectors and offer excellent analogue sound quality, particularly for the album's bass-heavy production and electronic arrangements.
