Roger Taylor receives a copy of Astounding Science Fiction during a party thrown for Queen by Elektra Records, 1977. The distinctive 'psychedelic' sound effects heard in the song were not produced on a synthesiser, but on May's Red Special and an Electroharmonix Frequency Analyzer pedal, which he would often do live. The studio cut made use of an Eventide Harmonizer. These sound effects, together with Mercury's moans and groans, were expanded upon during live renditions of the song, the band taking an opportunity to show off the full potential of their stage lights and effects. a b "All Dead, All Dead: Unheard Freddie Lead Vocal and New Animated Video".
