I fear that this may have been bought up or established already, but I haven't really seen it elsewhere so, here goes.
As we all know, Queen (the album) ends with a demo version of Seven Seas of Rhye and the intention was to begin Queen II with that song, creating a linking effect. Last night, whilst listening to Queen II's version of the song, I heard the weird bit at the end and the stuff involved seaside...
...and I began thinking, is this an intentional link to the first song of SHA, Brighton Rock? The distortion effects sounds quite similiar, and the lyrics seems to hold some sort of resemblance...
Can someone provide me with answers?

At the beginning of Brighton Rock, you can hear somebody whistling the "Oh I do like to be beside the Sea-Side" bit of the song.
..So there you go.
..So there you go.
The final bit of Seven Seas Of Rhye was sung by a bunch of people who were in the studio when the song was being recorded.
The beginning of Brighton Rock is an existing song.
So, if you can actually notice a connection between them, you're mental.

Just a second... how can you be mental seeing this link?? It's there! Seven seas of Rhye ends with 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside' and Brighton Rock opens with someone singing that very same tune. I think you'll find unless you have no sense of music (But listening to Queen means you can't be a complete idiot unless you're just a sheep). The link is as plain as anything!!
I'm telling you, the Brighton Rock intro is an existing song which was not written (and not performed either) by Queen. As soon as I find any site with this info I'll post it here.
Oh, see what I found here on QZ:

And John S Stuart probably can confirm it himself.
And maybe he (or any other "expert") could confirm that the last bit of Seven Seas Of Rhye was recorded by lots of people who were in the studio on that day.

I believe I hear the link too. Maybe they used an existing piece of music and overdubbed on top it?
On second thought... Queen and overdubbing. Nonsense! :)

Yes i do think there is a link.... And that last part is from a song called i do like to be beside the seaside. Written and composed by John A. Glover-Kind (1907)..
I haven't heard that fair effects clip in its original version but I surely can hear someone whistle the "I do like to be beside the seaside" tune in the intro to Brighton Rock so there is obviously a connection. I'm pretty sure this is an overdub.
Actually, I believe that Queen II was supposed to begin with Seven Seas of Rhye (as Queen I ended with an instrumental version of it) in some stage but then the idea was dropped.

I have this carousel track from that effect LP in question. The first 20 seconds or so are used on Brighton Rock.
HOWEVER, at the 14 seconds into the carousel effects there is NO whistling. The whisting was added by Queen and is indeed the "How I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" tune.
If anyone wants this FX track, I'll send it to you privately, just email me.
Oh, and another connection we all know about between the first three album is Rhye: Seven Seas Of Rhye...(Queen), The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Queen II), and Lily Of The Valley's lyric "To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne."

If you were any less stupid, you'd have figured this out for yourself.
This deals with the SOUND EFFECTS, not the whistled part. The SOUND EFFECTS (of a FAIRGROUND, hence the TITLE) were taken off a studio-record of sound effects that was lying around and made its way into their hands. They overdubbed it with THE WHISTLING and a small bit of guitar to make it into the intro of Brighton Rock.

That doesn't really count as any more than a Freddie-connection. "Rhye" was his imaginary world when he was little.
