White Queen (As It Began) occupies position 3 in the identified Queen II programme. It follows Father To Son. The next work is Some Day One Day. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: The original LP organised its music as Side White and Side Black. QueenOnline associates the first with Brian May's songs and Roger Taylor's contribution, and the second with Freddie Mercury's writing. That is a useful organising idea, not a licence to flatten every recording into a single style. Our editorial route pairs the opening sequence with the later sequence, keeping the short pieces in place. The track list makes those transitions visible without reproducing the sleeve photograph.
The timing belongs to White Queen (As It Began) - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
