QUEEN AT THE BEEB - VERY RARE VINYL LP - FIRST PRESSING OWNED SINCE NEW BY ME - NEVER PLAYED
CAT NO: BOJLP001 Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, etched): BOJLP001A-1 * MB MAX Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, etched): BOJLP001B-1 * CTS MAX

The album comprises tracks recorded in two sessions for the Sound of the 70s programme. The first four tracks were recorded on 5 February 1973; the rest were recorded on 3 December 1973.

All but one track appeared on the album ; the exception is "Ogre Battle" which appeared on . However, the versions featured on At the Beeb are different from the original versions, being closer to the songs as performed live. This is most notable on "Ogre Battle", as it starts right away with its riff (without any long intro), does not have any effects that the version on Queen II has and sounds much less polished. The BBC version of "Ogre Battle" did originally have a long intro featuring a grand guitar build up. It was not used for this release, allegedly because the original tape was damaged.

Bought by me on original release , never played, kept upright in record rack since then.
Hardly ever handled - part of my own collection.
As can be seen from the photos the condition of the vinyl, inner sleeve, and outer sleeve are all mint /near mint.
Please note the record has never been played so a visual inspection of the surface was carried out to reveal no scratches or marks of any kind.

Look out for my future listings as I sell my Queen collection.
