About
The soundtrack to the Queen biopic will please both casuals and obsessives. For the former, lots of hits: “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Under Pressure,” and, of course, the grandiose title track among them. And for the latter, Queen struts out rare live tracks and fresh updates to classics. “We Will Rock You” merges a studio and live performance, “Don’t Stop Me Now” features newly recorded guitar parts from Brian May. The surviving members of Queen also recorded their very own arrangement of the famous 20th Century Fox theme. But the biggest jewel in the crown is the addition of five songs from the band’s dramatic 1985 Live Aid performance—a faithful re-creation of which serves as the movie's climax—now available for the first time. Ayyy-oh!

Originally released October 31, 1975 and lifted from the seminal "A Night At The Opera" album, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is often considered to be Queen's magnum opus and one of the all-time greatest songs, reaching the #1 spot in numerous territories (nine consecutive weeks in the UK alone).
This grouping assembles most single releases, re-releases and bootlegs where "Bohemian Rhapsody" receives A-side/top billing. "I'm In Love With My Car" is the most-often used B-side song ("Death On Two Legs" and "Sweet Lady" being alternates).
There are two mixes of The B side "I'm In Love With My Car". Most releases play a remixed version (has car revs at the start of the track), but some issues (eg Canada and US) play the "A Night At The Opera" album version (with the false fade).
Shortly after Freddie Mercury's death in 1991 it was re-released again (and hit the #1 spot one more time) as a double-A single, grouped as QUEEN20 (opens in a new tab) here.
