A tape-box survives from the 18th of August 1975. Queen were recording in Wales, focusing on 'You're My Best Friend', 'Freddie's Piano Bits' and 'Wreck of the 39'.

Martin, re:

Referring directly to BHM who, finally, popped his cherry 'round the back of the studio to a delightful skank named "Norma".
Aged 63 at the time, and married to a sheep farmer, she had tried, for many years, to kick an opiate habit, but had been given the tip off by a member of Mott The Hoople that an up-and-coming guitarist was on the look out for a regular bunk-up.
Brian's fetish for wool and Wellington boots was the deal breaker.

He also agreed to produce an album for her... I don't know what happened with that.

The degrees of separation confirmed that, some years later, Norma's Grandaughter would launch a career on the West End stage, starring in a musical that BHM would be heavily involved with. DNA testing would, later, return positive that BHM is, in fact, Kerry Ellis' Grandfather. That material produced for Norma was used by Kerry in a cruel, post-humous slap -in-the-face to the Grandmother that didn't inform her she was related to a global hairdressing icon.

So, in a way, '39 is quite prophetic.

Yep. His time at Teide Observatory in Tenerife allowed him to ACTUALLY see in to the future and he'd secretly developed the first working Tardis.

Just as Hot Space influenced Thriller, A Night At The Opera influenced The Wall.

'Get Down, Make Love' is directly responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union.
