We thought we'd have a look at the old Bohemian Rhapsody multi-track.

This is what multi-tracks used to look like. It's a two-inch tape in its original box. It says Bohemian Rhapsody Master. The other stuff's been taken off except for one song, which is Seaside Rendezvous. And that's what it looks like. This is Bohemian Rhapsody here. So that's what we're going to have listened to. We've actually transferred it onto a hard disk

because we don't want to play this too many times now because it's kind of an antique and it has to be baked.

You see it says baked at Harrisons because otherwise it falls to pieces when you play it.

So these things are very delicate. They're sort of museum pieces now but luckily we've rescued the information.

And this is the

track sheet which I find rather amusing because if you're wondering what

Freddie Mercury's mind is like this is his doodles he was in the in the habit of

he was a compulsive doodler really and his doodles are normally like this not

at all like his illustrations they're kind of strangely chaotic and unattractive.

But this is the man who wrote Bohemian Rhapsody. So I don't think there's much chance of

finding out what Bohemian Rhapsody means.

Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger now he's dead

Mama

Life had just begun

But now I've gone

And thrown it all away.

Mama, didn't mean to make you cry

if I'm not back again this time tomorrow,

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.

Oh, that is just beautiful.
