"The 40th anniversary of legendary Queen singer Freddie Mercury’s majestic debut solo album Mr Bad Guy is being celebrated with a lavish new vinyl reissue. Originally released end of April 1985, Mr Bad Guy was Mercury’s first album away from the group he had co-founded 15 years before and helped steer to staggering artistic and commercial heights. It found him breaking free from the confines of a band, swapping Queen’s chameleonic, arena-sized music for a set of songs that combined his unique songwriting with a driving, dance and pop-inspired sound. 'I had a lot of ideas bursting to get out and there were a lot of musical territories I wanted to explore which I really couldn’t do within Queen,' said Mercury of the album at the time. Mr Bad Guy was recorded over a period of several months at Munich’s Musicland Studio, where Queen had made their most recent albums. Mr Bad Guy was partly shaped by Munich. When he wasn’t in the studio, the singer could be found soaking up the German city’s nightlife. The wild heartbeat of its bars and clubs fed into songs such as the exhilarating Living On My Own, with its incredible, acrobatic vocal performance and scat-inspired singing, I Was Born To Love You’s euphoric rush, and the pulsing, funky Let’s Turn It On." - EMI
