Hello everybody. Below is a nice article taken from the English music magazine Kerrang!, No. 32 from December 30th, 1982. The article, entitled We will rock you, again, is an interview by journalist Steve Gett with Brian May; they talks about the album 'Hot Space' and the American tour held in the summer to promote it. A very interesting passage concerns the plans for the band's next album: although Queen were on hiatus after the end of the Japanese tour, Brian reveals that they would soon be meeting in Basing Street to knock down some songs and see how it goes.Enjoy your reading!

Interesting that Brian mentions the band going into a Basing Street studio to record some heavy tracks. I seem to remember Greg Brooks playing an early version of I Go Crazy at a convention that was dated to December 1982, but I just assumed he was wrong! I guess conventional wisdom, and the band’s own admissions, stated that they went their separate ways after the Japanese tour and didn’t set foot in a studio again until August 1983, but it seems like they wanted to get some stuff down on tape while they were hot off the road. I wonder what was recorded, and if any of it made it to The Works (or Strange Frontier or Mr. Bad Guy).

Personally, the things I find most interesting in reading these articles are precisely this "unpublished" information... I was absolutely aware of this intention of the band to be at Basing Street Studios in late 1982-early 1983.
