This quote from that article is pretty awesome:
The only contemporary machine we never tried was a Stephens
Shows you how good the word on the street was, I had always heard that the record was done on a stephens 40 track. I had heard that from some pretty good sources too. That information basically changes my entire impression of the record.

Really calls into question how productive it is to talk about this stuff unless you are talking to the horses mouth...

Maybe the Stephens came to Queen later? I thought they used one too. Maybe because RTB was a big supporter of Stephens I was just assuming that he recorded Queen with one.

No. You're thinking of Spinal Tap's cover of Soundgarden's song. :D :wink:

I can't believe you don't like Queen. No wait. Yes, I can. You don't like handlebar moustaches. That's got to be it.
