"... a collection of the band's six BBC Session radio appearances between 1973 and 1977. The timeframe is really the blessing here: during these years, Queen released their first six albums, arguably their "golden age", before they finally acquiesced to the mighty synthesizer and moved from conceptual glam rock to (mostly) slick pop singles ... Like pretty much everything Queen did in those early, career-forming years, On Air is a brilliant, blistering snapshot of a band that reveled in both campy excess and bruising hard rock. Several bands tried, but nobody was quite able to copy their sound, which sounds equally winning in the recording studio, the concert stage, or in a radio station".

"... the band's complete appearances on the BBC. Comprehensiveness is a feather in the cap for Queen on Air for collectors, but the additional material reveals that Queen got better as they stuck around ... an archival release designed only for fans".
