Queen – At the Beeb (Live 1973) (@256)
18 Jan 2010
(Info from wikipedia)
The album comprises tracks recorded in two sessions for the BBC Radio 1 Sound of the 70s programme. The first four tracks were recorded on 5 February 1973; the rest were recorded on 3 December 1973. All but one track appeared on the album Queen; the exception is “Ogre Battle”, which appeared on Queen II.
However, the versions featured on At the Beeb are different from the original versions, being closer to the songs as performed live. This is most notable on “Ogre Battle”, as it starts right away with its riff (without any long intro), doesn’t have any effects that the version on Queen II has and sounds much less polished. The BBC version of “Ogre Battle” did originally have a long intro featuring a grand guitar build up. It was not used for this release, allegedly because the original tape was damaged.
Line-up:
- Freddie Mercury / vocals, piano
- Brian May / guitar
- John Deacon / bass
- Roger Taylor / drums
Track List:
01. My Fairy King – 4:06
02. Keep Yourself Alive – 3:48
03. Doin’ Alright – 4:10
04. Liar – 6:30
05. Ogre Battle – 3:57
06. Great King Rat – 5:59
07. Modern Times Rock ‘N’ Roll – 2:00
08. Son And Daughter – 7:08
