St Ives, N.S.W.: Australian Chart Book. ISBN 0-646-11917-6. Queen entered The Manor in Oxfordshire on 12 July to commence work on A Day At The Races. [15] Absent was Roy Thomas Baker, who had helped the band produce their last four albums. [16] This was because of a four-album contract he had signed with the band in 1972. This contract had expired after the release of the band's fourth album, and the band had decided to record the album by themselves, with the assistance of engineers Mike Stone and Gary Langan. Baker would travel to America to produce more material after signing a contract with CBS Records. [17] On 19 July, May's 29th birthday, (according to a letter written for the fan club around this time) while the band were recording in The Manor, the band were mailed items related to penguins. A giant penguin ice maker was also shipped to the band. These items were mailed to the band because of May's interest in penguins.

Versions

You Take My Breath Away" was written by Mercury and based on the harmonic minor scale.
