The completely plain white labels and exact BOJLP001 A-1 \/ B-1 MAX matrices identify this as the documented UK test pressing rather than the standard commercially released LP. Specialist Queen references and previous auction examples document white-label test pressings carrying precisely these matrices. At The Beeb documents Queen at the very beginning of their recording career, featuring material recorded during two BBC Radio sessions in 1973. The performances pre-date or coincide with the band's earliest EMI releases and capture Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon performing material that would appear across their first two albums. The eight tracks include early BBC performances of My Fairy King, Keep Yourself Alive, Doin' Alright, Liar, Ogre Battle, Great King Rat, Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll and Son And Daughter. This is substantially scarcer than the standard Band Of Joy pressing. White-label test press copies were produced in very small numbers, and examples are known both with and without proof artwork or promotional paperwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve: Not graded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis copy is supplied in the plain paper sleeve shown in the photographs.

This edition also has a particularly strong Japanese track configuration. Alongside Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, Killer Queen, Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody To Love and We Are The Champions, it includes Under Pressure and Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together).
