Were they released at the same time?

Yes. And Greatest Pix II too. I bought them all 3 on the same day.

Really?

As there really wasn't anything unique to the collection (aside from cropped edits) what was the incentive for buying all three and not just the two (pix and flix)?

ps. Does anybody have a YouTube video of the original TATDOOL video edit? I can't find it anywhere... the one with Freddies hand motion

Interesting. I ask because I was just watching the 'Intro' for it (Greatest Flix II) on Christmas Day and it's clearly focusing SO much on Freddie and so obvious how ill he was at the time. There's literally a shot inserted there of Freddie (on the set of the TATDOOL video shoot) that has no purpose in being included other than to show Roger's reaction at how sick Freddie looked then.

So it actually hit the shelves while he was still around (though not for much longer). I couldn't remember the timing there.

Thanks for the reply.

Some of us are just completists. I can't talk for the OP, obviously, but I can only imagine that's the reason. I do the same (well, at least I used to......)

I bought it because i liked it so that's my choice. GH II became the best selling album in 1992. It was released in october, the month before Freddie passed away. Also the book and the VHS tape are nice additions.
They were...on October 31st 1991,exactly ten years(to the day) after the release of the first Greatest Hits.They were originally planned for 1990,but made way for the new album Innuendo,and the fact that The Miracle was still selling so well.
