Description
ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL ISSUE - HEAVY VINYL - NOW A COLLECTOR'S ITEM
Bought by me on original release (1997), never played, kept upright in record rack since then.
Hardly ever handled - part of my own collection.
Condition of records, inner sleeves and gatefold sleeve are all mint.
Details The compilation is unique to the Queen catalogue, as it deliberately does not follow the standard "greatest hits" collection format and focuses on songs from Queen's heavier side. Some hits are present ("We Will Rock You", "I Want It All" and "Fat Bottomed Girls"), while other tracks included were never released as singles anywhere ("Put Out the Fire", "Tear It Up" and "Sheer Heart Attack").
The album also contains a remake of "I Can't Live With You", with a much louder and heavier guitar and more aggressive drumming, and one new track, "No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)", which is a gentle ballad. Th? latter began life as a track for Brian May's solo album Another World (1998); the remaining members chose to record it as a bookend for their career as Queen. It was the last original studio recording from the 1990s featuring Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon and one of very few Queen recordings without the lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Look out for my future listings as I sell my Queen collection.
