At the BBC Reviews:
Queen at the Beeb 
2008-11-24 - Not being a big Queen fan this album was suprising for it's production quality and the fact that Queen had it's signature sound cemented well before they were signed by a label. These are early recordings and I like the heavy sound. "Son & Daughter" is the reason I bought the disc. When I first heard it, my immediate thought was Black Sabbath's "Warning" from their debut album. If you are a fan of heavy metal, this CD will not disappoint and this version of "Son & Daughter" makes it well worth the purchase price.
Una joya para fanaticos y coleccionistas 
2008-06-24 - Este es un disco recopilatorio realizado por la banda. Las canciones fueron grabadas en dos sesiones para la BBC las primeras 4 canciones fueron grabadas en febrero de 1973 y las otras 4 en diciembre del mismo año. 7 de las 8 canciones pertenecen al álbum Queen I, solo Ogre Battle es del disco Queen II.
Es un articulo para coleccionistas y fanaticos. Para publico general recomiendo comprar los discos Queen y Queen II.
Review of Queen at the BBC
2008-03-02 - Item arrived earlier than expected. Perfect condition. However, bad packing. The box arrived almost opened. One could have easily taken the CD out of the box.
Just better than the official debut
2008-01-26 - First of all, I have to say that I own all of Queen studio albums, and like most Queen rocker fans I love the earlier years. Now I wonder why in heaven I didn't buy this record before! It has a rough sound, much alike Led Zeppelin, but cleaner. Basically, this record contains versions of 8 songs from their debut album Queen, but they can rock the hell out of you! They're heavier, faster and a littlr bit different from the studio album, which make it a must, even if you have the studio album. I just love this CD!
"Queen Heads" will love it!
2006-11-22 - This is quite an interesting release. Two sessions at the BBC, recorded in Feb 73 and Dec 73. With the exception of "Ogre Battle" all the songs are off the first album. The good news, is the Feb sessions (the first 4 tracks) sound much better than the originals. Thank God. I always thought that album sounded bad. The Dec sessions differ in that the sound is much more stripped down sound, almost live sounding, with few overdubs (for Queen anyway). At just over 7 minutes, "Son and Daughter" rocks like hell. This collection will impress the die hard fan because you get different and in most cases much better versions of classic Queen tunes.
* No "HITS" so the casual fan may not be right for this one.
