dont know if any body has seen this before- but i like it recorded before Queen released thier first ever album !!
Larry Lurex was the artist name used for a musical project by Trident Studios’ house engineer Robin Geoffrey Cable, in 1972.
The name is a pun on the stage name of glam rock star Gary Glitter and the metallic yarn Lurex.
Cable was experimenting with re-creating the "Wall of Sound" style favoured by Phil Spector. He recorded cover versions of the following two songs:
"I Can Hear Music" (written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, which had been a hit for The Ronettes and The Beach Boys)
"Goin' Back" (written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, which had been a hit for Dusty Springfield and The Byrds )
Cable enlisted singer Freddie Mercury from the band Queen to perform lead vocals on these tracks. (Queen were recording their debut album in Trident Studios at the time.) Mercury in turn suggested bringing his band-mates Roger Meddows-Taylor and Brian May to add percussion, guitar and backing vocals to the recordings.
another "larry lurex" track
freddies tribute to the beach boys
footnote--- check your record collections for these singles they are worth thousands!!!!

I like Freddie Mercury , but this version of 'Goin Back' sounds like it was recorded in the Euro tunnel whilst he was racing against a fast train.Bland and emotionless.
The 'I Can Hear Music' track works better.
Thanks Dave!..
