A Kind Of Magic — двенадцатый студийный альбом британской рок-группы Queen, выпущенный 2 июня 1986 года.
A Kind of Magic фактически родился из саундтреков к фильмам «Железный орёл» («One Vision») и «Горец» («A Kind of Magic», «One Year of Love», «Who Wants to Live Forever», «Gimme the Prize», и «Princes of the Universe»). В одном из своих интервью Фредди Меркьюри сказал, что работать над A Kind of Magic было вдвойне интересно: одни воспринимали его как саундтрек, другие — как самостоятельный альбом, и никто не знал, что получится в итоге.
В поддержку альбома был устроен грандиозный «Magic Tour» — серия концертов по всей Европе. Он обеспечил группе невероятную популярность, подняв её на новые высоты после «Live Aid».
На протяжении десятилетий пластинка заслужила разноречивые оценки музыкальных изданий и критиков, но в итоге сегодня пользуется успехом у поклонников группы и признается классическим релизом в дискографии великих британцев. Например, в издании 1994 года The Guinness All Time Top 1000 Albums альбом поместили на 171-ю позицию среди величайших поп-рок пластинок всех времен, а BBC - на 42-ю строчку в 2006 году, и Classic Rock в 2007 году ранжировал релиз на 28 строчке величайших саундтреков!
Расширенное переиздание легендарного альбома с потрясающим ремастерингом 2011 года на двойном компакт-диске с буклетом. Издание дополнено диском с альтернативными версиями песен из альбома.
In the 1994 edition of The Guinness All Time Top 1000 Albums, the album was voted No. 171 in the all-time greatest rock and pop albums. In 2006, a national BBC poll saw the album voted the 42nd greatest album of all time. In 2007, Classic Rock ranked A Kind of Magic the 28th greatest soundtrack album of all time.

*****
Легендарная рок-группа из Великобритании "Queen" была основана в 1970 году Роджером Тэйлором и Брайаном Мэйем, к которым присоединились вокалист Фредди Меркьюри и бас-гитарист Джон Дикон. Успех пришел к Queen в 1975 году с выходом альбома "A Night at The Opera", который был уже четвертым в дискографии коллектива и стал определяющим для развития группы. Лонгплей стал четырежды платиновым, а на песню "Bohemian Rhapsody" был снят уникальный клип со спецэффектами, которые почти отсутствовали в то время. Тогда про Queen заговорили не только в Британии, но и в Канаде, США и Японии. Коллектив выпустил пятнадцать студийных альбомов, а восемнадцать их хитов поднимались на верхнюю строчку в чартах разных стран. После смерти вокалиста Фредди Меркьюри, Queen практически прекратили студийную деятельность, но продолжили концертные выступления, привлекая к сотрудничеству известных музыкантов.
