How many of you own the Solo Collection?

Not the Mr Bad Guy/Barcelona set, but the whole enchilada -- ten CDs and two DVDs packed into a gorgeous book with slipcase, released four years ago. I'm shocked to see what it's worth now because copies are getting scarcer every day.
What is your favourite part of the set?
Do you wish there were more videos on the Video Collection DVD?
What if The Untold Story had been updated -- would you add this to your collection as well?

Lisa I wish I had that. As far as I know that was never released in these parts (north of Toronto Ontario). At the risk of being considered a newbie... what exactly is in the set??

You can order it through HMV here in Canada. It's $300.99 CDN plus 15% sales tax (since that's what the rate is in Ontario), last I checked, so about $346.14 CDN is what it would cost.

The answers lie here:

But please note that not every single track that features Freddie outside of Queen is featured here. There are several omissions.

See my 2nd post

Really. Any Queen stuff here kind of slips in under the radar though I will check out the HMV thing... there's one in Barrie... I would still like to know whats in the set though please and thank you!

oops now i see the link...i'll check it out

Actually, if you have a credit card, you can order it much cheaper at Amazon.ca, at this link:

"Our Price: CDN$ 244.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping."

I want that desperately. I'm saving my money right now for it!

Me, I'm more interested in saving for that Gold Red Special Burns guitar that's coming out next month. :)

ahhh so I see it is all Freddie's stuff... Is there any way to get The Cross , or other Roger Stuff... all I have is Fun In Space on vinyl.... i remember Strange Frontiers came and went here 20 years ago...

LOMO '93
TGP (Night And The City version)
Love Kills
Love Kills (Orig. Wolf mix, Loaded Weapon footage)

I suppose the fact that they mostly consist of movie-material (which probably also would've posed complications with legal mumbo jumbo) prevented the last three from inclusion.[/QUOTE]

Not to mention the NATC version isn't any special, other than it's accidentally speeded up on the soundtrack (dunno about the movie)

But they SHOULD have included LOMO '93! That was Freddie's biggest solo hit, if I am not mistaken.

Well, we can only hope that it's on GVH3 when it comes out.
