Queen II is the second studio album by British rock group Queen,
released in March 1974. It was recorded at Trident Studios, London
in August 1973 with co-producers Roy Thomas Baker and Robin Cable,
and engineered by Mike Stone.
August 1973 found the band back in Trident Studios, now allowed to
book proper hours there, with an album under their belts. For what
is generally considered a complex album (with layered vocals,
harmonies and instruments), it took a very short time — only
one month — to record Queen II. A full version of «Seven Seas
of Rhye» was laid down, recorded with the specific intention of
being the album’s leading single. After the commercial failure of
«Keep Yourself Alive», which was taken from the first album, Queen
decided it needed a single that did not take «too long to happen»
(without a lengthy guitar intro). So, Queen and Baker made sure
that «Rhye» began in a way which would grab people. Mythology and
art were passions of Mercury’s, and Richard Dadd’s painting «The
Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke» (which currently hangs in the Tate
Gallery) sparked his creativity. This scene from Dadd’s imagination
was inspired by characters from faery myths, which in the painting
are gathered around the Feller of Trees to watch him crack a walnut
for Queen Mab’s new carriage.
