I Want To Break Free/ Machines (or 'Back To Humans')

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. Wow! Those Coke commercials gave this song a whole new life, a much larger one than when it didn't even crack the top 40 when first released in 1984. Still, that was radio programmers' fault, cause as Coke folks realized, this is a great, incredibly catchy rock song. The flip is a very interesting, 5-minute-plus aural experiment featuring a blend of techno, hip hop, and hard rock. There were four picture sleeves released for this single — one for each member of the band. This copy has Brian May on the front cover. By the way, the album version in this case is actually shorter than this one at 3:21; this 45 version is an extended remix.
