Editorial perspective

If You Can't Beat Them occupies position 5 in the identified Jazz programme. It follows Bicycle Race. The next work is Let Me Entertain You. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: QueenOnline records a UK release on 10 November, followed by the American release four days later. The album places Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls in a larger sequence that also includes Don't Stop Me Now. As an editorial choice, explore the spaces between those familiar titles. The archive keeps the order and identified recording timings together, so a listener can examine the album's proportions without treating a single or a later video as a substitute for the complete record.

The timing belongs to If You Can't Beat Them - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
