• Somebody to love

    From Al@21:4/106 to All on Friday, July 24, 2020 00:56:47
    Hello All,

    I just stumbled upon this flash mob of a group of students in Brazil performing Somebody to love on their lunch break. They are not Queen but
    they do an inspired performance.

    I can remember buying this album back in the day and I thought it was a good album then but I didn't appreciate just how timeless Queen's stuff was.

    Ttyl :-),

    Well, according to Wikipedia, Queen’s best selling and most expensive album ever recorded was “A Night At The Opera.” It was Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (The Cars) and Recorded by Mike Stone (Journey, Asia) on Elektra Records. It was made with a budget of $50,000 dollars at the time.

    Best-selling and most expensive does not always equate to a "great album"...

    My favourite song is “The Prophet’s Song” 8:17. They used tape delay on Freddie Mercury’s vocals and the sped up the multitrack machine for Brian May’s guitar solo. That’s the reason I became a recording engineer in the first place. So many cool things you could do in the studio.

    You were an actual recording engineer?

    What artists/albums did you work on?
