About
Freddie Mercury’s skyscraping vocals matched his onstage flamboyance, leading the charge on hits that were never less than anthemic. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” from 1975, packs a thrilling, shape-shifting rock opera into six minutes, with stacked harmonies, squealing metal guitar, and Mercury’s gymnastic vocal leaps. Queen later skillfully switched from rock shuffles (“Crazy Little Thing Called Love”) to funky dance pop (“Another One Bites the Dust”), while punch-the-air anthems such as “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” soundtracked thousands of goals and touchdowns.

No sooner had Hollywood Records come up with their own, unique Classic Queen (opens in a new tab) compilation did they follow up with this companion compilation (again for the North American market) called, confusingly, "Greatest Hits". Its track listing and band career span covered broke the convention of the original EMI "Greatest Hits" compilation that had been released some eleven years prior (including in the USA).
Warning: This 1992 version should therefore NOT be grouped with the original EMI Greatest Hits (opens in a new tab) compilation from 1981!
To make things even more interesting, both "original" EMI "Greatest Hits" collections were subsequently re-released as the "Greatest Hits I + II (opens in a new tab)" double-package in 1994 -- including in North America.
All tracks are the album versions of the songs, except "I Want To Break Free" which is the single remix.
