In the fall of 1975 a work colleague went home to the UK and came back to let us know there was this unbelievable song setting records in the UK called "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. In those days songs did not come across the pond until bands released them here. I knew the LP was coming, so I haunted the local record shop after work every Wednesday (the day new albums came out) until Night At The Opera was magically there. I bought it on the spot, raced home, sat down to play it and was blown away, starting with "Death On . . . ". Went back the next day and bought the first three albums and have never looked back!

Great album. (I think *The Prophet's Song* is more than Bohemian Rhapsody, so maybe there's even something in that to look forward to. And there's a video on KZbin going into the finer details of what it was, and how it came to be, featuring the main writer, Brian May, giving you the horse's mouth account). I always imagine some kind of Bertie Wooster character (of the Jeeves novels fame - worth looking for on the out of copyright books sites if you don't mind reading on a screen, and don't know of them - er, and written by an American author, PG Wodehouse) when I hear Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon. (Only Bertie prefers to laze on all the other days of the week, when he's not up to ill advised shenanigans that the butler, Jeeves, has to keep saving him from suffering the consequences of.) It helps that it has that old gramophone record sound simulated in things like the muffling of the vocals, and is sung in that old 1920's tenor style. Like *James Melton* singing *Sleepy Valley* , for instance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oquQhGufopunfsU Edit: Actually that's something to think about if you feel like something new to do reactions: Early recorded music. See if you can borrow a gramophone and really get in the spirit of things. Ragtime, old jazz, and all sorts of things we've just about forgotten, like the tenors, or music hall/ vaudeville. (If you ever do a classical listen to Debussy, you'll have to also orient yourself to some Scott Joplin, since ragtime was an inspiration of Debussy for some of his works.)

After hearing Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen before it, I got this album because the BoRap single was no longer in the stores. By the time the three-song medley (run-on song, whichever) was done playing, I was an official Queen fan. This album had the kitchen sink, and you could tell they were having a great time making it and not trying to be terribly serious. I believe the song you said Lazing reminded you of was I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas. :)

Hi JP. Dave from Old England. Hands down, my favourite Queen album. Terrific opening, and there are many stories from the 70s of artists being ripped off by managers - the singer songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan is just one that comes to mind. I love the variety, including the musical hall songs like Lazing. Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside - was that the song you were thinking of? It was used at the end of Seven Seas of Rhye off Queen II. P.S. my song ref Old England is by The Waterboys.

Another great track is "your my best friend" written by John Deacon Queen's Bassist and also played the keyboard on that track, its a song dedicated to his then girlfriend / wife " and sung by Freddie. There's also a track called "i'm in love with my car written and sung by the Drummer Roger Taylor

'Ole Audiophile to JP: Like my name implies, I seek out & find the very best of editions of this & all albums I care about. Even though this was originally written in 1975, in the year 2002 Queen had this recording remastered to 5.1 & hi-def stereo (24bit X 96k x 6 channels or 24bit X 192k in stereo) on a DVD-Audio format. It played 5.1 in either DTS or Uncompressed linear PCM. It requires a very special recording to create superb 5.1 recordings from, one must have all the studio outtakes & cutting room floor material to create one in proper fashion. Queen did both A Night At The Opera & The Game in such fashion & they both turned out to perfection. If one really wants to really hear this, seek out both the recording & a well-equipped home theater to properly play back Queen's perfection. Thanx. (Queen included the DTS version for folks who owned a regular dvd player instead of a DVD-Audio equipped one. But back then one had to own a reciever with a 6 channel input. Now they use HDMI instead/works far superior.)

First got into Queen with 'Queen II'. So I went back and bought the debut. LOVED both albums. 'Sheer Heart Attack' comes out and blows me away, but there are some indications of changes coming. Which took a little getting used to, but eventually I fell in love with "In The Lap Of The Gods" and "Bring Back That Leroy Brown". But then 'A Night At The Opera' hit the music stores and the kid gloves were off. From beginning to end, it was a wild, but fun, ride. I'm so glad you played "Lazing...". Such a fun throw away tune that just makes the album brighter and better for being there. For filler, you can't beat Queen.

JP, "Lazing" was a nod to the vaudevillian, roaring 20's era style, and very well done. This album was the pinnacle imo, The Prophet's Song is one of my favorites, hands down.

Freddie is the one who wrote the most complex music and least commercial music. Freddie wrote the most prog type of songs and really complex music, he even created his own fantasy world. Roger and John wrote the most commercial music. Freddie's songwriting was never that commercial, some of his songs just became hits. It is like Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon, that is a 1920's vaudeville song it is not something that was commercially viable in 1975.

Oh by the way, Brian may once said they wanted to be "Yes but poppier", and was a fan of prog himself (He would watch the live shows of Morgan, Tim Staffel's prog band (tim was the previous singer for Queen)".

The warning song to the managerwas Flick of the wrist,he ignored it hence Death on two legs. Flick is well worth a listen, there is a live version which is hot xxx
