Editorial perspective

Who Needs You occupies position 9 in the identified News of the World programme. It follows Sleeping On The Sidewalk. The next work is It's Late. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions begin the album, while its UK publication preceded the US release. That territorial distinction matters when following the chronology. Our editorial route goes beyond the opening pair: Sheer Heart Attack here is a song, not the 1974 album. Reading the whole running order also reconnects these familiar works with the record that surrounds them, instead of treating their later public life as the only context.

The timing belongs to Who Needs You - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
