News Of The World” is the sixth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 28 October 1977. In 1977, punk rock acts, most notably the Sex Pistols, sparked massive backlash against progressive rock artists such as Queen, to which the band responded by simplifying their symphonic rock sound and gearing towards a more spontaneous hard rock sound. The artwork is now available as a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle printed on high quality board.
