In its early stages I almost rejected it, but then it grew . We started deciding on a single about halfway through . There were a few contenders--we were thinking of "The Prophet's Song" at one point--but then "Bohemian Rhapsody" seemed the one . There was a time when the others wanted to chop it around a bit, but I refused . If it was going to be released, it would be in its entirety . We knew it was very risky, but we had so much confidence in that song--I did anyway . I felt, underneath it all, that if it was successful it would earn a lot of respect . People were all going, You're joking, they'll never play it, you'll only hear the first few bars and then they'll fade it out . We had numerous rows . EMI were shocked--a six - minute single? You must be joking! The same in America--oh, you just got away with it in Britain . </P>

When did just go with it come out
