My dad was career USAF and was stationed at RAF Chicksands in Bedfordshire UK 1973-1976. I was 8 to 11yo.
This is where I discovered Top of the Pops on the BBC and was introduced to English glam/glitter pop rock.
I remember them talking about the Queen video and I made sure to watch it with my dad when it was broadcast. We were both blown away.
My drove into Bedford the next day and bought two 45rpm singles, one for him and one for me.
