Seven Seas Of Rhye occupies position 10 in the identified Queen programme. It follows Jesus. It closes this programme. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: Queen's debut was recorded at Trident and De Lane Lea in London. Its different production arrangements are a reminder that a record has a working history as well as a release date. Editorially, the most useful way into this album is to follow its sequence rather than treat it as a prelude to later hits. The short closing Seven Seas of Rhye is worth comparing with the longer recording on Queen II: the work and its recordings are different levels of the archive.
The timing belongs to Seven Seas Of Rhye - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
Seven Seas Of Rhye occupies position 11 in the identified Queen II programme. It follows Funny How Love Is. It closes this programme. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: The original LP organised its music as Side White and Side Black. QueenOnline associates the first with Brian May's songs and Roger Taylor's contribution, and the second with Freddie Mercury's writing. That is a useful organising idea, not a licence to flatten every recording into a single style. Our editorial route pairs the opening sequence with the later sequence, keeping the short pieces in place. The track list makes those transitions visible without reproducing the sleeve photograph.
