Classic Rock Magazine 325 (April 2024) Queen: The Making of "The Works" 40 Years On Magazine is new and unread. More information from the Classic Rock/Louder Sound website: "Let’s give ’em the works!” That was the rallying cry when Queen returned to the studio in 1983. And that’s exactly what they did. After a couple of years indulging some pop and disco whims, they decided that what they really needed to do was to return to rock. But it wasn’t all plain sailing. As The Works celebrates its 40th birthday, we take a look back at how Queen got back to basics and delivered a bit of a belter. This issue we also subject The Black Crowes’ Robinson brothers Chris and Rich to the Classic Rock Interview as the band return with their first album of new material in 15 years, catch up with Judas Priest as they release a new album and prepare to hit the road with Saxon and Uriah Heep, explore the genesis of heavy blues and rock with a cast of thousands, and much more. In what is becoming something of a horribly heartbreaking tradition, shortly before we were due to go to press with this issue we heard the very sad news of the passing of the MC5’s Wayne Kramer. We look back at his life and music and pay tribute. Shipping $5.99 via USPS Ground Advantage (formerly First Class).
