Roger Taylor To Re-Release 'Fun On Earth' On Vinyl For Record Store Day
Friday, 21 March 2014
Written by Jon Stickler
Roger Taylor will rerelease his acclaimed album ‘Fun On Earth’ on limited edition double vinyl to coincide with Record Store Day on April 19.
"The resurgence of vinyl is so fantastically exciting because it's how we all fell in love with music, it really does sound better. Analogue forever!"
Originally released in November 2013 on Virgin/ EMI, ‘Fun on Earth’ is one of Taylor’s most exciting and accomplished pieces of work to date. With a juggernaut career spanning six decades, Taylor was the beating heart of Queen penning landmark hits Radio Ga Ga, A Kind of Magic and Days of Our Lives while enjoying success across the globe with accomplished solo material which reached the heights of the UK charts.
The tracklisting for the vinyl rerelease has been reordered by Roger himself to give vinyl listeners a more cohesive listening experience. Two extra songs, Whole House Rockin and Dear Mr Murdoch, originally added to the version of 'Fun On Earth' that came as part of Roger’s career retrospective ‘The Lot’ box set - will be included on this limited edition vinyl release.
