Last night I was going to upload some corrections (including the Ricken pic) but I couldn't quite find the time. I expect to do it today.

Maybe I was too quick to draw my "logical" conclusion that the picture is from Now I'm here TOTP, but anyway it's from Sheer heart attack era for sure.
Oh, and the two studio pictures from Queen II section are from Mick Rock's photo sessions from Sheer heart attack recording session from September 74.(I have the book Classic Queen and thise picturtes are there; so this is sure :) )

Some things have been corrected and I uploaded the IWIA analysis. Next one will be John's One Year of Love.

In the second sentence under "Synthesizer", the word "found" should be "fond".

The link to "I can't live with you" is incorrect. The URL is missing the dot/period (.) before the "htm" in the file name. Clicking on it will cause a "Page not found" error.
I spent a few hours today going over Seb's Website. It's getting better and better. Very complete.

I was listening to 'A Winter's Tale' and I think I hear Freddie during the two last 'Dreaming, dreaming' backing vocals, in both of the verses. Could be Roger though. And I think he's definatly in the last 'Ooohoooo' vocal (also used in You Don't Fool Me), so I'd say he also does backing vocals.

Not a mistake, but I have to admit i'm not a big fan of names like 'May & May Guitars" , "Deaks" etc. Which I think is not very 'academic'. Other than that, it's getting better with each update.
In the Queen I page, you talk about Brian's Hairfred guitar. If I'm not mistaking he got that guitar back from the guy he gave it to a couple of years ago, and he posted about it on his Soapbox. I believe he also re-did the paint job on it.
Can anyone confirm this? I think it was around 2006.

Re: Hairfred guitar
If you go to http://www.brianmay.com/ "What's New" page, and type the words "Hairfred guitar" in the google search box in that page, you will get a link to the article called Guitar Player Magazine US Jan 83.
Somewhere down in the article under the question "Do you own any unusual Accoustics", you will find Brian talking about the Hairfred guitar.

Deaks: Accepted.
May & May: The brand of the guitar is NOT 'The Red Special', 'The Old Lady', etc. THAT would've been not academic. As it's a bespoke guitar, made by the father of the man who plays it and the man who plays it himself, then it's technically unbranded. However, the usual convention for musical instruments is to put the surname of the person who made it (or whose family owns the company that made it). That way you've got (Leo) Fender, (Tom) Oberheim, (Carl) Bechstein, etc. As such, the name 'May & May' is correct, as it was made by Harold May and his son, Brian Harold May.
> In the Queen I page, you talk about Brian's Hairfred guitar. If I'm not mistaking he got that guitar back from the guy he gave it to a couple of years ago,
The one Brian got is the Egmond, NOT the Hairfred: back in mid-to-late 60's, Brian had his Egmond, Dave had an old guitar (brand was once printed 'Hairfred' but I haven't been able to find any info available on it, so it's either a make that doesn't exist anymore [quite likely as... well, some companies dissolve, that's life!] or it's a misprint). They traded it and from mid 60's up to 1990 (more or less), Brian only had (Dave Dilloway's former) Hairfred (if that's the brand).
In 1990 (more or less), Dave gave Brian the Egmond so from then on he's got both guitars. The Egmond can be seen played by both Fred and Bri on the 'Headlong' video. In 2006 (more or less), Brian restored his Egmond guitar (which he'd owned from 1954 to mid sixties and from 1990 onwards) and that's why he commented on it via Soapbox. It also had to do with the fact he, only then (ca 2006), found out George Harrison's first guitar had also been an Egmond guitar, which triggered his interest in talking about it. Those were the days when the Soapbox had a lot of comments on music (e.g. the way Bijou bore fruition). Good times, indeed!

Sebastian, on the page for 'Machines' you state the following:
"Freddie sang the two-part Simon&Garfunkel-esque bit during the verses, and Roger did the robot. Chorus harmonies by the three founding members."
I think it's very clearly Brian doing the two-part with Freddie, just listen to 'Don't tell me I ain't got no soul'. And a typo on the front page for The Miracle:
"While he did contribute to songwriting and also played some excellent parts (on both bass and guitar), he seemed to have been lost interest."
That should of course be "seemed to have lost interest."

It's still got loads of mistakes so don't take my word for it. I'm planning a big update which will be ready in some months. It'll (hopefully) incorporate new info available thanks to the re-releases. For instance, I've narrowed down the Queen (I) sessions to April-June 1972, and I'll add loads of surprises (NO Cosmos Rocks, though).

That's cos you suck. That is all.
Sebastian
If I suck, why do you bother writing to me? Am I such an important part of your life? Or are you such a pathetic imbecile? Well... of course you are!
Thanks though, for proving what I'd said about you earlier.
BTW, the definition of 'sucking' is not 'refraining from including TCR on a website'. Off the ca 6,896,500,000 people in the world, I reckon about 6,896,499,900 haven't got a website or blog about TCR. Do all those 6,896,499,900 people suck because of that?
I honestly think we should stay clear from each other's posts. That's why I've consciously refrained from even participating in recent threads you've started and I'd appreciate if you did the same. No good can come of that.

Just a small mistake. You say that One Year Of Love has been released in Japan but it has never been. As far as I know, it has only been released in France and Spain.
