I love Freddie Mercury and I love the music on this CD. What I object to is all this remixing going on and changing the original sound intended by Freddie. I prefer to listen to his music just the way he wrote and performed it. His talent stands on its own. I hesitate to buy these types of CDs, but there are some songs on this CD that were not remixed. I think people need to have the choice of which to buy, the original recordings or the remixes. I would be willing to bet that the original recordings would far outsell the remixed versions. Let's preserve Freddie's music exactly as he recorded and intended it to be. He had the most incredible and beautiful voice and his music was so very unique. Buyer beware, most of this CD are remixed versions, however, I feel it is still worth owning and any Freddie Mercury fan will still want it for their collection. The five stars are for Freddie and his music.

A very good compilation album featuring a selection of the best of Freddie Mercury's solo work.

Mercury came out with a fair amount of solo work during the 1980's.

What results here is a must for fans of Mercury , and a good example of some of his musical genius.

My personal favouries here include:

the majestic and inspiring Made In Heaven , the hi tech Love Kills , the contemplative There Must Be More To Life Than This and Living On My Own , the offbeat Foolin' Around and Living On My Own , the smooth I Was Born To Love You , theatrical Mr Bad Guy and the magnifficent remake of The Platters hit The Great Pretender.

Being a queen fan for the past 40 years, there is little I have not already heard by the band and the solo efforts by its members. This collection of Freddie Mercury tunes represents the best he had to offer from his many solo projects away from the band. While most of this material has already been available on previous releases, it is very nice to have it all together on one disc. My main complaint is with the remixes. While some of the remixes are interesting, others are downright lousy. Why tamper with Mercury's musical perfection? How many different ways can you change "Love Kills", which is a masterpiece in its original form? The remixes is what prevented this collection from achieving a five star rating. Still, if you want the best of the best from Mr. Mercury and his career away from Queen this is the collection to have. His operatic ventures will prove a pleasant surprise to many if you have not already heard them on his "Barcelona" release! They demonstrate the magnitude of his vocal prowess!

I love the CDs the music is great however the second CD has the same song in a slower mode, good but get repetitive afte while. I still recomend it the song are classics great great great music!!! ;-)

Bought this for my Fiance as a gift. BIG QUEEN and Freddie Mercury fan so this was a sure hit...he said there are a few songs that are the same and remixed, but overall the album is played 24/7 at my house. Great buy for the Queen and Freddie Mercury fan in your life. Also could not find this album at all not even Best Buy! Great price too!
