This special edition of the “Barcelona” album was reworked in 2012 to
replace the previous
instrumental tracks with new, live symphonic orchestration and percussion,
rather than synthesisers and drum machines used on the original album.
Specially arranged by Queen orchestral arranger Stuart Morley, the 80-piece Prague FILMharmonic Orchestra now performs the symphonic score, while Rufus Taylor — the son of Queen’s Roger Taylor — plays drums on ‘The Golden Boy’ and ‘How Can I Go On’, a track that also features John Deacon’s bass guitar. Pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, the special edition of the “Barcelona” album is now waiting to be rediscovered by fans of Freddie and Montserrat.
