- Freddy Mercury
Larry Lurex was the artist name used for a musical project by Trident Studios’ house engineer Robin Geoffrey Cable, in 1972.
The name is a pun on the stage name of glam rock star Gary Glitter and the metallic yarn Lurex.
Cable was experimenting with re-creating the "Wall of Sound" style favoured by Phil Spector. He recorded cover versions of the following two songs:
Cable enlisted singer Freddie Mercury from the band Queen to perform lead vocals on these tracks. (Queen were recording their debut album in Trident Studios at the time.) Mercury in turn suggested bringing his band-mates Roger Meddows-Taylor and Brian May to add percussion, guitar and backing vocals to the recordings.
The tracks were released as a 7" vinyl single on EMI in 1973 (catalogue number EMI 2030), but it did not enter the charts. This pre-dated the release of the first Queen album. They have subsequently been included on the compilation albums The Solo Collection and Lover of Life, Singer of Songs.
