They relate to the recording and mixing of Queen's 1974 'Sheer Heart Attack' album and list various dates at Trident Studios, AIR Studios and Wessex Studios. The mixing of the album took place at Trident Studios between the 16th and 20th September, two backing tracks and some guitar overdubs were recorded at AIR Studios between the 16th and 21st September and the majority of the overdubs and one backing track were recorded at Wessex Studios between the 20th and 27th September.
