Baker laughed at the time, but when Freddie came to the studio days later, armed with various pieces of paper and notes and doodles outlining his composition, the producer determined to use all of the talent and equipment available and decided to capture Mercury's vision on tape. On the subject of tape, in the 1975 state of the art recording, that meant 24 track analog tape

Well, good thing they did not listen to Elton John, because we would have lost a classic song and I love that song and I'm glad no one chose to listen to anybody and that Freddie Mercury stuck to his guns and Queen pushed forth and put that song out after all. Great take. Love the information. And that's it. Thank you
