Roger Taylor has detailed his frustration about the drum sound on Queen's first album, which the band finally fixed when revisiting the recordings for last year's 50th anniversary Queen I box set.
Prior to being signed, Queen recorded a demo at De Lane Lea Studios in Wembley, North London, in late 1971. The songs included Keep Yourself Alive, Liar, Jesus, Great King Rat and The Night Comes Down, all of which the band rerecorded when they relocated to Trident Studios in Soho to work on their debut album the following year. The studio had successfully played host to the likes of David Bowie, Elton John and Lou Reed, but Taylor wasn't happy with the setup.
