Episode 36: 45 Years of 'A Night at The Opera' with Savannah Pope

Three years since our last anniversary special and three years since their last appearance on 'My Classic Album', Queen are honoured on the podcast as we look back on 45 years of their iconic album 'A Night At The Opera'. Friend of the show Savannah Pope returns to celebrate this momentous occasion as she and Mike discuss how important 'A Night At The Opera' was to Queen's future back in 1975 and address the impact that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the other eleven songs on the album have had since the album's release.   How close did Queen come to disbanding due to adversities they faced in the mid 1970s? Which song on the album did the band choose to perform for Groucho Marx? What extreme measure did Roger Taylor allegedly take to ensure 'I'm In Love with My Car' was chosen as the B-Side for 'Bohemian Rhapsody'?   Mike will also be reading memories and thoughts that you have shared about 'A Night At The Opera' throughout the show. Plus he will reveal the song voted as the best on the album as voted for by Queen fans and My Classic Album listeners alike. PLUS: Hear the title track from Savannah's most recent album 'Atlantis'. It's such a jollification as a matter of fact! You won't want to miss a second!
