They DID release at the Beeb. I own a copy. I also have that Let Me Live single with the red cover.

There was going to be another BBC release. It was never released though as Jim Beach did not want to "flood the market".

There was to be a further, supplementary volume, to include additional material. The album you have contains two BBC Sessions. A total of six were recorded.

Though there won't be any Queen stuff, I'm excited about some Beach Boys stuff being released!
Well, yeah, I know there were 6 sessions of recordings. That's why this new set is being compiled. The complete BBC sessions for Queen. I look forward to it.

Exactly. The 'Band of Joy' Beeb release came out in about 1989, but the Let Mr Live single a few years later promised an imminent new release (presumably carrying all BBC sessions)

But, if they are going to do it PROPERLY, they should include the Golders Green show (BBC Radio In Concert), Hammersmith '75 (BBC OGWT), Hammersmith '79 (BBC OGWT) and anything else related to "Queen At The Beeb". Interview material etc etc.

Yeah... when was it last time they did it properly? ;)

Surely BBC sessions means the recording sessions..? Not everything they've done at the BBC, or you should start including their other appearances.
No. The other mentioned radio stuff can come out with the boxset materials, etc. Though, true, as long as it's not a video'd concert, it would fit as a bonus extra.

Well it appears that we have the same taste :-)
But I believe that they would prefer to release the sessions only, then release a "deluxe edition" with new remasters of the sessions + Golders Green, then some "collectors edition" with again new remasters of the sessions + Golders Green Hippodrome + Hammersmith Odeon 75, and a few years later (when DVDs will be dead) they release a "definitive version" containing a DVD release of Hammersmith 75.
BTW was Hammersmith 79 ever broadcasted on BBC ? I know that it was RECORDED by the BBC people, but I have never seen any evidence that it was broadcasted. The only TV broadcast I know about is the approx. 50 min long german TV show from 1980 (?) which contained only a small part of the concert, and the film which contained Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Hammersmith 79 was never broadcast by the BBC nor was it recorded by the BBC. It was broadcast by ITV and recorded by ITN. Yes ITN the news people.
Well, the chances of QPL releasing any of this is slim to none really innit? If they ever did it would make most sense to do a standard version with just the radio session tracks, plus a deluxe version with any gig audio/footage included. One can dream I suppose.
Also, no ones mentioned the Rainbow March '74 show that was recorded (and filmed?) and broadcast by the BBC.

Adam,
If they call it "Queen At The Beeb" or "Queen At The BBC", then yes - everything possible should be included. If it's titled "Queen - The BBC Sessions", then you're absolutely right - session material only.
However, Free recently released "Live At The BBC", which included live studio session material and also "boot" versions (official BBC versions didn't exist, so they reverted to the best possible fan recording from the radio) of two "In Concert" sessions.
The Who's version "Live At The BBC" included studio session material and two cuts from the OGWT which had live vocals over a re-recorded backing track.
Led Zeppelin's "BBC Sessions" featured both studio session material and "In Concert" recordings.
Muddies the water a bit, but, personally, I believe we're more likely to get everything released in the one set than have it split out over multiple releases. A complete BBC box would (could!) look great and would beat any other artist's set released so far, of which, Fairport Convention's is superb!

Of course, if the choice is getting half of the BBC material this decade and the other half in another thirty years, or all wrapped up nicely together in a box thirty years from now, I think I know which I would choose... ;)
I like the idea, Benn. Certainly, if it's possible to do, then yes, I believe it probably is a good one to pursue. Just make sure and let QP, Brian or Greg or whoever's in charge, exactly what your idea is. And not leave it to chance that someone will chance upon your idea. Seriously.
