Another nice article about the greatest band in the land :)
You may have to download it and enlarge it with the magnifier/ loupe function of your picture viewer - that should work.

Earliest interview to Freddie Mercury in which I read/hear the "cream of the crop" term. The latest documented time he said that, I think it was in a 1985 interview with David Wigg.
Nice pic too. He's in a kimono, no?

Hi BETA, No that was a short jacket, typical Ken Mkt stuff he used to wear...
^ Thanks. ^_^
I guess I'm a bad guesser, if that means something.

........and the"record bargains", opposite, contained 4 personnel that appeared at Fred's tribute concert.!.
Life's little ironies, as Thomas Hardy once said.

Cool, love this stuff ! Thanks.
Freddie said about Queen II: "There are so many things we don't see eye to eye about in the group, and this is only the title we're talking about."
Meaning there were other ideas of what the title was going to be? Interesting.....I heard there were a few different ideas put forth for the first album, but I dont think I ever heard that about Queen II!

I put some work in getting articles / reports of the early Queen period 71 - 73 right now. I think I will do a thread in a few weeks wich will contain some of them.
Right on - looking forward to that. These early press clippings are gold.
If you (musicland munich) could do a recopilation of all your press clippings or scans contributed to this site, it would be great. So we can read all of them, and have everything available in a single thread.
Interesting that he notes they had finished Queen II 3 weeks before the interview. This was published in March, but if his statement is correct, the actual interview would have taken place sometime in September 1973, it would seem.

We know they worked on Queen II in August 73, but something tells me they continued working on it into early 74. Maybe not recording, but mixing, perhaps? This may clarify that.

That's very possible as well, so maybe the interview is from January or February 1974. It would seem odd for the interview to have taken place in 1973, as it's a promo interview for the release of Queen II, the week of the published article.
So great to read, "He's optimistic about the future of the band." If he only knew! :-)
Thanks for posting the article!

It wouldn't be the first or last time liner notes are wrong or incomplete.
