This was the group's first big hit in the U.S. An oddly compelling song, I shudder at the thought that I might actually like it... and then realize that teenagers are rediscovering Queen, and this song is a cult hit all over again. Still, there's no argument that the flip side is a must-have glam-era rocker. Even if you can't stand "Mama Mia!" and so on, you gotta love "The machine of a dream?"... Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet" of it! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Elektra/Asylum Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels, and the Vinyl also grades Near Mint in appearance with just a few light scuffs. I wish I could grade the A side audio Near Mint, but it has very light surface noise, and the soft audio parts are unforgiving. Fortunately, the B side audio is Near Mint from the get-go, and you really don't hear any surface noise at all to speak of.
