The story of Queen was a hot property in Hollywood for the better part of a decade, with "Borat" star Sacha Baron Cohen first attached to play Freddie Mercury in the film version in 2010, although Cohen later dropped out of the project. RPM: Stands for "revolutions per minute." This is the speed at which a phonograph turntable revolves a record. Typically, it's record companies that cancel albums and singles at the eleventh hour.

The band withdrew the cover at the last minute, but a dozen copies survived. In the '90s, they were accidentally shipped to record stores as samples of a planned reissue of the album that was eventually scrapped.

Lift stubborn grease stains with mineral spirits if you didn’t clean the spill right away. Put on gloves and protective eyewear before opening the bottle of mineral spirits. Soak a cotton ball or the corner of a rag with mineral spirits and rub it onto the stain. This will work on most types of hardwood floors, even engineered hardwood and laminate. However, it can be a little strong and remove the finish on some floors so do a test run in an inconspicuous area first (like a closet or under a piece of furniture).

Bruce Springsteen had his breakout album with "Born to Run" in 1975, although he wouldn't be the only one to catapult to fame after working on the album.
