Apologies for the late reply, but I'm pretty convinced that must be a mistake. I cannot find any information elsewhere to corroborate Freddie working at The Record Plant on said dates. Despite thorough searches, only Brian May's Star Fleet project comes up for those dates.My notes say, he's working on solo songs (which appeared later on Mr Bad Guy) on these dates.
Perhaps a mistake; or FM & others were just working in different rooms independently?
Anyway, I did find that the Queen official fan club fan magazine from Spring 1983 mentions Freddie recording with Michael at Encino. So it was definitely around that period.
It's interesting Freddie said it was pre-Thriller, but most sources indicate it was after. Even Peter Freestone recalled in his memoir seeing the Triple Platinum discs for Thriller on Michael's bedroom wall that same day they worked together. Probably the discs Michael received on 25 February 1983...
