The BBC version had been officially released and was available here for years, whereas the live version was only previously heard on bad sounding audience tapes. I'd say they made the right choice there.

And - that was the last time they performed the fast version of WWRY. I'm glad to have it.[/QUOTE]

Only on audience tapes? Live Killers and Live At The Bowl have WWRY (Fast), as do the "We Will Rock You" / "Rock Montreal" DVDs. Or am I confused what we're talking about?

I'm talking about the particular version on the NOTW 2011 remaster, which is from the Seibu Lions Stadium 1982 show - and was unreleased until then, whereas the BBC version had been released (although not nearly as widely).

There was room on the bonus disc(s) for the BBC versions and other material (but that's beating a dead horse) as well.

I did find the thread for the pittrek 'remasters', but the link is gone.

My versions are pre-pittrek. Anyone care to guide me to the good/better/best versions that are not the 'official' versions? The request would also include the slow WWRY. mp3 is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

I don´t know all that versions. Maybe anybody can post here the "not official" ones.

And queenvault says that the beeb and at the bbc are little different!

Example for one track, the others are the same

Keep Yourself Alive (BBC Session 1) 3:48
Written by Brian May
Appears on: At The Beeb
Recorded February 5, 1973 at Langham 1 Studio in London, this recording of Keep Yourself Alive was done for Queen's very first BBC session. This take is very similar to the album version, possibly featuring some recorded elements from their Trident Studios sessions. Lyrics, vocals, and instruments are very similar. Lead and backing vocals are slightly different, but not a major departure from the definitive version. Fade-out is similar to the album version.

Keep Yourself Alive (BBC Session 1 - 1995 Stereo Swap) 3:48
Written by Brian May
Appears on: At The BBC
To capitalize on the success of The Beatles Live At The BBC, Hollywood Records released "At The BBC". Previously available in the UK as "At The Beeb", this release features recordings from Queen's first and third sessions at Lanham 1 Studio in London. For this CD the left and right stereo channels have been swapped.

Thanks for that info, I never knew that. I found At The Beeb on vinyl as an import when it first came out, and was thrilled to get it! I loved hearing those sessions for the first time.

Then as fate would have it, my (now long gone) tribute band, "Sheer Heart Attack - A Royal Tribute to Queen," as well as my and my future wife's names, were all listed in the liner notes to At The BBC. At the time, she was helping to promote our band, as well as Queen, and Brian May's first solo album, and struck up a good relationship with a Hollywood Records employee, and he surprised us with that listing. It was to thank us for helping to promote Queen in the US, which was very much needed at that time.

Sadly, that employee left soon after that, and was replaced with the usual record company guy who didn't seem to much like his job at all, or Queen, for that matter. It was sad to see Queen get treated like that by their US record label.

I have great memories of getting the 1989 release on tape. At that point in my life it was like hearing something really really rare and forbidden. Those were good days. The Hollywood CD was nice, but it seemed a shame that it wasn't expanded. Likewise, I feel the 2011 bonus EPs would've benefitted from complete sessions rather than one or two songs. Especially looking back now nearly 4 years later and we've had no BBC collection.

Hmm so nobody has mentioned yet that the US 1995 release swapped the stereo channels when compared to the 1989 BOJ release?
I still don't know why though. Maybe the 89 release was wrong?

I always assumed it was just a weird mistake by someone somewhere along the line......the same thing happened to Soul Brother when it was released on the US Heaven For Everyone CD single!

This afternoon i put an email to Brian May´s soapbox, about the BBC Sessions and the 1995 "Let Me Live" single, that says it will come an album titled "Queen At The BBC". When he answer (if he answer) i put the response here. We want some real info of that!

I assume the US Beeb album is correct as the stereo panning on the album backing tracks is the same as the respective releases. It took me a few goes to work this out. The ole noggin ain't what it was.
