    One of the rarest recordings and often considered the holy grail for Freddie Mercury and Queen collectors and I own two in my collection. This was a pseudo name used by Freddie to record this in 1973, as a pun on the glam rocker Gary Glitter and the metallic yarn Lurex.
    "I Can Hear Music" is a remake of Phil Spectors hit previously recorded by The Ronettes and Beach Boys, and "Going Back" was written by Carole King and previously been a hit for Dusty Springfield and The Byrds.
    This single pre-dated the release of the first Queen album and is recorded on the Anthem label catalog number AN-204 and also available in promo and remix versions, all are highly sought by collectors.
    I own one in NM condition, and the other in VG+

    I recorded it to youtube 2 years ago here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoS1mfilwm0

      Thanks for the love Mani, I purchased the near mint one from eBay years ago, and the very good+ was found in a box of records a friend was going to throw away and asked me first, good thing he did or it would have been in a landfill or swirling in the ocean.
