BBC no longer means the Beeb for me since I've be frequenting certain video hosting sites recently.

The show at the Paris Theatre on 20 October 1973 should have been recorded by Radio 1 but the gig itself was pulled and the gig never played at all.

Live
1973
Their first gig of the year at the Marquee is set up as a 'showcase' event for Elektra executive Jack Holtzman, who may sign the band, but first wants to see them perform live before he can make a final decision.
In August he band return to Trident Studios to begin work on what will become ‘Queen II’. This time they record under proper conditions, not in downtime, and progress much more efficiently. They cover a great deal of ground and capture on tape faithful renditions of the material they have been playing live and experimenting with in rehearsals.
Their show at Golders Green Hippodrome is recorded by the BBC for an In Concert broadcast, and a forty minute edit is transmitted the following month, on October 20, on Radio 1.
This is followed by Queen’s very first concerts outside the UK, in Germany and Luxembourg, and then three concerts in London in preparation for a 25 date tour of the UK supporting Mott The Hoople.

Hmmm.
I can only assume that's why a BBC recorded gig was given the wrong venue info when it leaked onto bootleg.
Someone somewhere in the dim and distant past must have known of the planned gig and put two and two together.
Nice bit of info Gary. Thanks!

So we are now led to believe the whole audience were evacuated from the Theatre, despite the fact the Queen Archivist stating (in print) ''A recording of this show does exist, but the poor sound quality suggests it was made by a member of the audience.''
I will have no confidence in the ''facts'' quoted in any forthcoming revised and updated editions of ''Queen Live: A Concert Documentary'' I'm afraid.
I'll treat it like a novel, if it ever gets published that is.

This was a matter of his inability to hear that it was a lesser quality version of an existing show.
If it was just this error and a couple errors in the book, we'd give him a free pass - but there are literally hundreds of mistakes, plenty of which are things he added purely for the sake of filling in blank dates.
In any other field of historical research it'd be a disgrace to his field.

I haven't heard that particular recording so I can't possibly comment, but judging by your reply I assume you have.
I have no doubt the Archivist will be involved in any forthcoming updated and revised edition, so I stand by my previous comment and will treat it as a novel rather than a factual document.

No, I haven't either - but by process of elimination, if the Paris Theatre show didn't happen, then the tape is obviously of another show.

The book was written before any of these facts were truly known, and only in the last few years have many of these shows been updated and corrected.

Gary, is there a chance the new edition of the book will come out soon (meaning in this decade)?
