 * The clip accompanies a significant section of text about it, which offers critical, academic commentary.
 * The audio sample is of substantially lower quality than the original recording.
 * At 29 seconds, the audio sample is vastly shorter than the master recording. Due to its size, the audio sample would not be a preferred substitute to the main track for either entertainment or commercial purposes. Other 30 second samples of this and other songs on the album appear on Amazon.com and iTunes, among other sites, for promotional purposes.
 * No free or public domain audio samples have been located to represent this subject as alternatives.
 * The audio sample does not limit the copyright owners' rights to reproduce the song, album, or video in any way.
 * The audio sample is being used for informational and educational purposes only.
 * The purpose of the sample is to demonstrate to the reader how Queen's music developed and matured over time, beginning with this sample from their second album, to reflect their much heavier and experimental roots, to how their music changed from this to the likes of mainstream rock, funk and pop. This sample compared with various other samples in the article from their catalogue is crucial to the reader so that they can develop a full and comprehensive understanding of Queen's musical style - something which words alone could not successfully achieve.
 * The sample is also necessary to effectively identify the piece of music to the reader.
 * The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should (and will) be used in place of this audio sample.
