LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 31, 2019…ON THIS DATE IN 1975 QUEEN RELEASED THE EPIC SINGLE ‘BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.’ THE ACTUAL MAKING OF THIS SONG IS IN ITSELF WORTHY OF A MOVIE. QUEEN SPENT DAYS IN THE STUDIO USING A 24 TRACK TAPE MACHINE OVERDUBBING VOCAL TRACKS. BY THE TIME THEY WERE DONE IN THE STUDIO, APPROXIMATELY 180 TRACKS WERE LAYERED TOGETHER. BRIAN MAY IN A NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS SAID THE TAPE WAS WORN SO THIN FROM ALL THE OVERDUBS THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE TAPE. THAT IS A LOT OF SCARAMOUCHES AND FANDANGOS!
THIS IS QUEEN’S OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY’
