I heard this song on a tiny, tinny transistor radio (under the bed sheets of course) on Radio Luxembourg as a new release in July 1973 and was instantly hooked on the band!

The single failed to do anything in the charts in either the UK or the USA, but became a permanent fixture in the band's live set, often including a lengthy guitar solo from Brian May.

It sounded so much like a synthesiser, albums had to bear the legend that none of the songs used them.
