Between February 1973 and October 1977, Queen recorded six radio sessions for the BBC. The 24 recordings they produced include alternate versions of the debut single, unique takes of classic album tracks and even a radically reworked reimagining of one of their best known anthems that has never previously appeared on any Queen studio release.
Now, for the first time, all six Queen BBC sessions - restored by engineer Kris Fredriksson and mastered by Adam Ayan - have been brought together on Queen On Air, released on Nov. 4 by Virgin EMI and in North America through Hollywood Records. It will be available as a 2-CD set and a 3-LP vinyl edition, plus a Deluxe 6-disc edition featuring a CD of live broadcasts and 3 CDs of radio interviews.
