From Steve Boone comes this titbit about the Hollywood Records release of Sheer Heart Attack:

"On the song "Lap of the Gods" there's a small bit that has been mysteriously edited out in the beginning. On the original record there's a part where the vocals are going "Oooh" followed by piano followed by "Ahhh" and more piano. On the Hollywood Records Version one of the "Ooohs" are missing. It's hard to describe in text but take my word for it."

And here's one from Morgan Owens. I had to read this one twice, but he's got a good point! After buying the EMI cassette tape of "Sheer Heart Attack" a few years ago (the inlay says it's also available on 8-track!) he wondered who "Stormtrooper in Stilettoes" was:

Misfire(Deacon)
Bring Back That Leroy Brown(Mercury)
She Makes Me(Stormtrooper In Stilettoes)
In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited(Mercury)

It seems whoever did the layout couldn't cope with subtitles.

And spelt "stilettos" wrong.
