Editorial perspective

Son And Daughter occupies position 8 in the identified Queen programme. It follows Modern Times Rock 'N Roll. The next work is Jesus. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: Queen's debut was recorded at Trident and De Lane Lea in London. Its different production arrangements are a reminder that a record has a working history as well as a release date. Editorially, the most useful way into this album is to follow its sequence rather than treat it as a prelude to later hits. The short closing Seven Seas of Rhye is worth comparing with the longer recording on Queen II: the work and its recordings are different levels of the archive.

The timing belongs to Son And Daughter - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
