JAZZ

"Bicycles supplied by Halfords. Thunderbolt courtesy of God"
As you probably know the album was recorded in 'Montreux on the lake Geneva shoreline'  so some say that it's European flavored....

To promote the album (especially the single 'Bicycle Race') they have organized a race on Wimbledon Stadium, and fifty naked girls had their own bicycle race. And of course you probably know that there were a lot of problems about that race. The single originally had one of the girls on it's cover, but panties had to be drawn on because of the public outcry. The album had a large poster of the race which was banned by Americans. A picture of the race can be found as one of the official wallpapers at QueenOnLine.
