Thank you for this info. I must say I wasn't sure these photo are from the circumstances I stated initially. I think you're right.
So from my first post:
1.- at least 6 photos of the band going from London to rehearsal
2.- at least 14 photos of the session at Sarm studio with Eddie Howell, probably in August as well
doesn't belong to ANATO sessions.

So, I think I’ve got the picture now. Queen went to Ridge Farm and Penhros Court to write songs and record demos[/QUOTE]
There's no evidence that they recorded any demos there. They rehearsed, that's all we know.

heading to Rockfield on the 24th August.[/QUOTE]
Again, no: they'd already recorded at Rockfield on or before the 18th, and a rough mix of Bo Rhap had been done at The Roundhouse on the 22nd.

I went to a display about the history of Rockfield and it had a sheet with the date and the singings which the group did too.[/QUOTE]
The signings, IIRC, were done three decades after the fact. The sheet with the date is based on the 1995 SOS article, which has loads of inaccuracies, including that one.

There’s nothing going against the fact that might’ve recorded certain things at Ridge Farm and Penhros. [/QUOTE]
There's nothing going for that either. It's like saying, 'sure, Senegal will win the World Cup - there's nothing against the fact maybe it could happen.'

At Rockfield they concentrated on Bohemian Rhapsody[/QUOTE]
No. They recorded other pieces for the album as well. '39 and 'Best Friend' have been confirmed, also 'Good Company' is strongly suspected. The rest could've also been started there.

as that song alone took three weeks to record.[/QUOTE]
Again, that's the kiddie version of the story, the one they tell to make it sound romantic and spectacular. In reality, evidence points out albums being recorded as projects where they'd be jumping from song to song and using several studios at the same time. So, it'd be perfectly possible for someone to be doing something for one song and then someone else being elsewhere mixing something else, etc.
[QUOTE] [b]MusicFan15 wrote:[/b]
The London studios used would’ve been to finish of the album and do the final mixes of other songs.[/QUOTE]
All the mixes were done at Sarm, including the single.

Presumably they spend about a month at Rockfield before moving back to London?[/QUOTE]
Source?

Togg, re:
>It would seem to me if you have all this knowledge sitting there it should be released or used in some way rather than simply on moanzone...
A website is much more fluid and can be edited and updated as more, updated or corrected information becomes available. To be perfectly honest, it's exactly what the official site should be hosting, but those fucking idiots can't see past flogging a few t-shirts.
It's also what Greg should have done with the Queen Live book, but, hey.........
I'd possibly be in the market for a physical beast though if it was the only way of getting everything in one place.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, but the website searchable with easy, all the information Seb has posted here gets lost and is practically impossible to find unless you trawl through thousands of posts, so sure in theory a website is better, but if Seb would like to earn some money, maybe a free to access website is less appealing?

Using adverts might generate some cash if that's the end goal, but I suspect it's not a motivating factor for him.......?

Yes Seb, I know thanks to you that's why I'm excluding it :)
