Forgive the late comment Paul. This is so excellent. I’m surprised that more people haven’t commented because Queen is still very hot right now. Thank you for pulling out records so many of us may have forgotten or never heard of before. Like always, you rock!!!

I´ve never cared much for the a-side but the b-side ist absolutely brilliant. Love it. And the quality of the transfer is just awesome, como siempre 😉
Thank you, Paul. Have a great weekend, everyone.
Love the b-side too it should have been a single.
I will be ultrasonically cleaning my own copy in the next week or so: will see how they compare!
Psst….it was actually the first single from the Strange Frontier album, not the third.
Interesting people can’t even say thank you for the hard work. They just come to point out a possible mistake.
Well thank you for that insightful comment. I did point it out politely and in a friendly manner.
But, thank you Paul. Sorry that the pointing out of a small correction has managed to put some high functioning incels on alert.
Very Nice post sad to see no other comments. I appreciate your work and time, Paul
Thank you 🙂
