The album will be reissued on crystal-clear vinyl with gold labels on Oct. 17 in the U.S., with the release coming out in the U.K. on Oct. 18 for National Album Day. In addition, on Oct. 31, the album’s iconic single, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” will be released on transparent blue heavyweight 12-inch vinyl, as a 12-inch picture disc and as a blue cassette single.

“A Night At The Opera was a hugely important album for us,” says Queen guitarist Sir Brian May. “It opened up the world for us.”

“We were at the peak of our confidence,” adds drummer Roger Taylor. “It felt like there wasn’t anything we couldn’t do, and it shows on that album.”

Released in November 1975, A Night at the Opera was Queen’s first #1 on the U.K. album charts; in the U.S., it peaked at #4. In addition to “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which spent nine weeks at #1 in the U.K.,  the album includes the Queen classic “You’re My Best Friend,” as well as future live staples “Love of My Life” and “I’m in Love with My Car.”

Paul McCartney wants fans to know that if they don’t hear about something from him, it’s likely not real.

The topic came up in McCartney’s latest “You Gave Me The Answer” Q&A on his website, which was focused on the topic of AI.

“With so much AI out there now how do you deal with the misinformation or AI created content that is supposedly you?” read the question from a fan. “How can we be sure what might be official?”

Paul started his response with a joke, writing, “How do I know if this question isn’t even AI generated? Ha!”

“Seriously though, there’s so much of it about and it can be hard to know what is real,” he shares. “I think most people can still tell the difference but some of it is getting pretty clever.”

McCartney says it’s not uncommon for friends to let him know about things he allegedly said or had done that were not true. “Or there are songs appearing with me apparently on them,” he adds. “Some of it is really wild!”

As for how fans can differentiate fact from fiction, McCartney has a simple answer.

“I always say that it’s best to check my website and my own social media accounts to see if it’s official, as that’s where we share news about what I’m up to,” he says. “If it’s not there then the chances are that it’s fake news!”’

Here’s something that is not fake news: McCartney is getting ready to hit the road on a new North American leg of his Get Back tour. After a warm-up show on Sept. 26 at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, California, he’ll kick off the tour on Sept. 29 in Palm Desert, California.
