Despite the sonic splendors of their studio albums, Queen was arguably revered the most for their dramatic, dynamic, heart-on-their-sleeve, sweat-soaked live performances. With that in mind, these new sets are going to cause quite a stir among Queen fans, as they bring six BBC radio sessions from 1973–77 (from the year of their self-titled debut through the releases of their star-ascending albums "Queen II," "Sheer Heart Attack," "A Night at the Opera," "A Day at the Races" and "News of the World") to CD or vinyl. The 6-CD offering takes those complete Queen BBC sessions and adds 3 CDs of band interviews (spanning 1976–92) as well as a disc of concert recordings from London (’73), Brazil (’81) and Germany (’86). Among those interviews are two very special ones: the last interview of Freddie together with Brian, John and Roger (1989) and the 1992 BBC 2 interview in which Brian talks movingly about Freddie’s recent death. Queen engineer Kris Fredriksson restored all this audio, which includes alternate versions of their singles and intriguingly divergent renditions of key album tracks. Get ready to turn it up and rock along with "Keep Yourself Alive," "We Will Rock You," "Under Pressure," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "God Save the Queen," "A Kind of Magic," "Son and Daughter," "Liar," "I’m in Love with My Car," "Great King Rat," their memorable versions of "(You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care," "Jailhouse Rock" and more live magic from these rock ’n’ roll royals! Hollywood.
