{"product_id":"flash-gordon","title":"Flash Gordon { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003eQueen's ninth studio album was the original soundtrack to the movie based on the comic strip character Flash Gordon. It was the band's first sortie into the film world and would prove to be their only full soundtrack album. Later they would write several songs for the first Highlander adventure in 1986, which emerged (in reworked form) as the album \u003cem\u003eA Kind Of Magic\u003c\/em\u003e, also in that year, but that was not a soundtrack LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFlash Gordon\u003c\/em\u003e music was recorded for Director Mike Hodges and Producer Dino De Laurentiis' $22 million remake of the 1930's black and white sci-fi film. Queen were first approached in 1979, and as writing film music was something they had all thought about but had not yet got around to, their Manager arranged a meeting with De Laurentiis and mentioned Queen's interest in scoring the film. Rumour has it that De Laurentiis' first reaction was simply, “Who are the Queens?” They were, as it turned out, the first rock band he had ever listened to and the outcome was that the band was commissioned to write the music for the movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif; font-size:12.0pt'\u003e1.
