--- Mini-review
Precisely four months after their last visit, the band returned once more to Langham 1 to record: their fourth and final session at this venue for the BBC. The session was transmitted on the Bob Harris show on April 15th. While the session prior to this saw the band record a version of "Modern Times Rock'n'Roll" virtually identical to the LP cut, the pace was significantly slower, demonstrating that this time, they had decided not to rely upon the existing debut LP backing track. The majestic "White Queen (As It Began)" emerges as the definite stand-out piece from this session, featuring some sublimely subtle piano and guitar extras from Freddie and Brian respectively. "Nevermore" is delivered with all the dignity and grace of the album cut, but with a dryer feel to Freddie's vocal. Lovely cymbal subtleties from Roger shine out from this recording, not least because there are no backing vocals or harmonies to mask them until the very last section at least, at which point the song takes on startling embellishments. Backing vocals, drums, bass and lead guitar move in to bring the proceedings to a halt with real style - a truly uplifting recital. "The March Of The Black Queen", as you might expect, is the other showpiece track from this session. Penned by Freddie, the version found on the album encompasses everything within the extensive Queen repertoire, and then some. Although Freddie deviates little from the familiar lyrics, he offers the odd ad-lib by way of extra interest. In essence, this recording of "Black Queen" sounds more like a remix of the original version, rather than a new session take.--- Quote from link VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO JOHN S. STUART !!! Basic rules 1. NEVER try to "remaster" the recording and share it, KEEP THE AUDIO UNTOUCHED ! 2. NEVER ENCODE TO MP3 OR OTHER LOSSY FORMATS !!! I will search common mp3 sites to check if it appears in mp3 format somewhere ! 3. DO NOT SELL !!! - I know the common bootleg pages and I will check regularly if somebody will sell it ! Especially eBay ! 4. DO NOT BOOTLEG !!! - I will regularly check the various "bootleg encyclopaedias" and pray that this won't appear somewhere ! This is a very special gift from a famous Queen collector, so if you want to see more from his collection, don't you dare to NOT to obey the above mentioned rules ! If ANY of the rules will be broken by some idiot, I will NEVER share something again, I swear ! Other BBC sessions will (maybe) follow later, it depends on your reactions and the reactions of a "certain company" :-) Enjoy and please, accept the 4 rules !

Amazing stuff but I'v noticed that in comparison to the lesser quality version of the same session Modern Times Rock n Roll is missing the hi hat at the very beginning. Does anyone know it this was just added to the lesser version or if it's just missing from the better quality one. I'v noticed also that Modern Times fades early in the lesser version. Thanks to Pittrek for uploading and to he who should not be named, thanks for sharing. |
| Catbert 17.09.2010 07:25 |
Many thanks for sharing these recordings. They sound great. It's the first time I've heard listenable versions of sessions 4 and 5, and 6 is better than ever! |
| therhyeman 26.10.2010 05:04 |
Sorry, just wondering about the Tenement Funster and Procession intros and outros on here (and also the ones on BBC5). Were they from a rebroadcast or something? Tim |
| GinjaNinja 26.10.2010 06:13 |
John explained the reason for their being there a while ago, but I can't seem to find his post. Basically, those tracks were on his "Mini-Disc Master" for the appropriate album. When he as transferring the tracks, he set the start and end points slightly wide so as not to miss any of the actual tracks. This resulted in small snippets, or in one case a whole track, being included on the CD. Hopefully I explained that right! |
| therhyeman 26.10.2010 10:01 |
Ah, OK. Thanks Ginga :) Tim |
| FriedChicken 28.10.2010 10:42 |
Maybe it's better to remove the parts that weren't on the actual BBC Recordings? In my opinion, it's asking for trouble - In a couple of years we'll have people thinking Procession was on a BBC Session. Or that they played Carrousel at the beeb. |
| The Real Wizard 28.10.2010 13:16 |
Pfft... facts are over-rated. A BBC version of Procession sounds like a fun concept... Brian playing all the parts at once. |
| pittrek 29.10.2010 00:55 |
I shared what I received. I am an optimist and believe that Queen collectors are not THAT stupid that they create "new" BBC sessions |
| inu-liger 29.10.2010 02:21 |
Funnily enough, I actually made my own 'non-extras' versions for two of the BBC sessions that John gave us quite a while ago! Session 4 Session 5 Voila! Confusion no more ;-) |

| The Real Wizard 29.10.2010 14:48 |
And these bootlegs are probably are to blame.. link link |
| Benn 30.10.2010 04:33 |
Sir GH, I remember buying those very same bootlegs from the well-known chap in Camden Town and thinking I'd come across something absolutely superb given the track listing. Got them home, listened to them and then threw them in the bin and vowed never to pay for another Queen boot CD again. |
