NEVERMORE

Instead of being produced by Roy, this song featured Robin Geoffrey Cable, whose most important idea was the piano ringing effect (which consist of the strings being plucked at the same time someone plays the keys). Although Roger and Brian added harmony vocals to the BBC version, in the album they're all Freddie's.
