Biography
In the summer of 1972, Trident Studios' in-house engineer [a=Robin Geoffrey Cable] instigated an experimental project in an effort to emulate the "wall-of-sound" style made famous by Phil Spector. [a=Queen] happened to be recording their debut album in the studios at the time, so he invited Freddie Mercury to lay down the lead vocals who, in turn, roped in Brian May and Roger Taylor to provide percussion, guitar and backing vocals - as paid session musicians. In June 1973, shortly before Queen's own debut album was released, EMI decided to cash in on the emerging glam rock trend and rushed out the resulting recordings as a 7" single under the name of [b]Larry Lurex[/b] - an obvious send-up of [a=Gary Glitter]. The single failed to chart. The end.
