(hennemusic) Queen have released a lyric video for the rare fast version of their classic song "We Will Rock You", as a preview to the November 4 release of "Queen On Air: The Complete BBC Radio Sessions."

The October, 1977 performance of the fan favourite is the only known studio recording of the fast version, captured during the sixth and final session for the BBC.

"'We Will Rock You' - profundity or just another teenage anthem!?" remarked BBC DJ John Peel upon airing the song in 1977. "I've never seen them live. I must admit I'd like to - a band that sounds like nutters, actually, and I like that because I like rock music to sound a little out of control."

The 2CD or 3LP set of "Queen On Air" presents twenty-four recordings by the group between February 1973 and October 1977, and includes include alternate versions of the band's debut single, 1973's "Keep Yourself Alive", among others. Listen to the song here.
