hard to guess really from the info contained
it's been sold several times recently

around that time queen toured UK and USA - but there were no BBC broadcasts to my knowledge until christmas 1979 for kampuchea

so perhaps the options narrow a little:
1] a quad re-broadcast of the 1973 BBC in concert?
2] a re-broadcast of hammy 75?
3] various interview/compilation broadcasts - there were at leats a couple of these in the Uk

Where does it state BBC sessions?
There was no BBC session recorded in 1978, the last one was promoting News Of The World in 1977. Can you link to it or at least write the seller's name ?

It can be

a) a home made fake
b) a misslabeled NOTW session
c) an edited broadcast of Hammersmith 75
d) one of the interviews (e.g. the Christmas 77 interview)
e) anything else :-)

I just messaged the seller and waiting for his response. Only info is this

"2-7 1/4 " square vintage original syndicated radio show air date 6-13-78 bbc special.one box damaged,no scripts."
there were also two USA radio broadcasts from 1976

one was about 1hr in length but it was mainly full of 2-minute edits of songs interspersed with about 15-20 mins of actual interviews.
think it was from january 1976

i also recall a "queen special" from the BBC - 1977?

don't know if this was either of these - my guess would be the second - the interviewer has a very "plummy home counties BB World Service" type accent

I saw thanks for that! I got a response from the seller and he said he has no idea what is on it. Someone did tell me it was the BBC Session from NOTW. I did buy the reel tape so I will let you guys know what's on it!
Well done. Look forward to knowing what's on the reels. It mentions 26 songs on the link!
I know hopefully something good! Or unreleased! Never know with Queen
Great! If you want to share later the songs in FLAC 24 bits or in any format, you'll be very welcome. I'm excited to see if that's something new. :)
Don't forget my collection of demos and outtakes: http://goo.gl/uQARhn PM me if you want any [leaked] multitrack. Ya se ven los tigres en la lluvia.
these radio broadcasts usually only ever had 1½-2 mins of each song (these were usually nothing new) - hence 26 songs crammed into an hour and about 15 mins of interviews
