With Queen’s classic 1975 album newly reissued on limited-edition crystal-clear vinyl – and its most famous song celebrating a half-century – Brian May and Roger Taylor take us behind the scenes in an exclusive video series released throughout November.

“We wanted it to be eclectic, we wanted different styles. We had things like Seaside Rendezvous, which was a lot of fun. But we also had this monumentally long song, The Prophet’s Song. Brian had a field day on that one.” Roger Taylor

“I have a massive insecurity about myself as a songwriter, and with The Prophet’s Song, it was right on the edge. I could hear something in my head, but I couldn't quite grasp it. I remember wrestling with all the different pieces – how each chorus ends in a different way, and where does it go – but it was a wonderful challenge to get Freddie to do that canon stuff, which he does in the middle. Freddie was very supportive in getting into those experiments.” Brian May
