Another Freddie Mercury compilation album on the way

So, Greg's "exciting Freddie news" then......is this. I guess it's hardly surprising really, given that we've already had the Solo Collection box and the re-issue of the Barcelona album. Freddie didn't do anything else solo, so the ONLY option open to QPL is to resort to polishing up and popping out new boxes with pretty colours. It's too soon (even by QPL standards) to go down the documentary route again.

I guess I was quietly hoping (after Greg's comments) that maybe some secret sessions had been discovered that Freddie had been working on and THAT would be the "exciting news".

Sadly..........

At least we'll get a Freddie solo album on the streaming services.

Secret sessions. That would be the spark which would've ignite this forum and then here it wouldn't be so silent these days. I wonder if Rhys contacted Andrew Lloyd Webber and spoke with him on the matter of these POTO sessions. He said he would do it (reddit session) and it would be great if we would know for sure if Freddie has made a guide vocal of "The music of the night" or not.

Anything held in the Lloyd-Webber or Dave Clark vaults would be enough to have me reaching for my wallet. (for clarity, a Posthumous dance remix of an average Freddie solo track does not).

Yep - the live tracks from Time spring to mind.

The lure of Phantom would have simply been too great for Freddie to ignore if indeed it was offered to him and after how deeply he threw himself in to the "Barcelona" project and how, critically, he stood up vocally.

I reckon only HALF an invitation to sing the part would have had to be made and Freddie would have been in it 100%.

Has the question been posed by ANY of the documentary makers?
