I wasn't very familiar with Queen before I bought "A Night at the Opera" in a record store near Shinjuku Station in 1976. I liked most of the songs on that album, and was thoroughly impressed with the creative versatility and talent of the band, and, of course, with Freddy's voice. I still have that record, and although I purchased the album on CD some years later, I still like to spin the vinyl version now and then. I wish that Freddy was still with us today.
