Tracklist Very best of FM album !

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]beautifulsoup wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I'd like to know which version of "Time" is on this CD. [/QUOTE]

Yes, I can't wait to hear it. I never heard the original version of that song or Love Kills...hopefully they will be Freddie's versions and not the versions Queen released on Great Pretender in 1993.

another greatest hits nr so much compilation-wannabee with absolutely nothing new, to give the older (and complete) fans a reason to want to buy this album...they could at least have added 1 song that makes this rip-off nr so much worthwhile having....no reward for loyalty...that's how i feel when reading this tracklist...an unknown bonustrack wouldn't be much more than logic, and i think we've deserved something like that by now...haven't we?
And no artwork, can camouflage this sucks....IF this is the list... i would want an official release with studio quality time rehearsals, michael jackson, Jo Dare and Freddie outtakes, try outs and things like that, and some beautyful live recordings that weren't in the "complete"??? box set....

NOT to forget the video of Freddie with Elton John on his 40th birthday, when he did 3 songs on stage with Elton.....THAT would be fab to see after all these years.....THAT would be a lovely 60th birthday, and 15th year memorial release I would want to have....

Umm...and exactly what about B-sides would make this a Very Best of *Freddie Mercury* compilation?

This is really typical. Either you go "yawn", another bloody compilation, what a rip-off, we want more outtakes and stuff. Or you go like, what this and this song is not on there, what a bad compilation!
Nobody says you have to buy it. A compilation or best-of-record is not for the fans who know it all already. It's something for the unknown John Doe next door who likes Freddie or Queen and thinks that this is something nice to have or to give to his mum who likes Queen or Freddie. And that's all about it. I have the boxset from 2000, I won't buy this. But somebody will buy this CD and somebody will even enjoy it.
Lucky dudes, guess how you all would moan if this was a John Lennon forum and ANOTHER best of would be released. It is sort of new, it will probably enter the charts, people will notice that a FM best of was released, then they remember how much they liked the music and go and buy it. And that's great, if more people get to enjoy Queen or solo stuff. So bottom line is, I'm actually happy that this record will be released, but I will not buy it. Stop moaning, kids!

I was not moaning. I was merely wondering. It will make no difference to meas to whether I purchase it or not. I will still purchase it.

Thank you very much.

There is good reason to moan. As I recall, Queen Productions has released only one previously unreleased, predominantly archive item (Milton Keynes) in the past 5 years.

I still think the Freddie box was an exquisit item (well, I could live without all those made up versions, like vocals only or instrumentals). And yes, I would love to have such a thing from Queen. And yes, I agree with people saying that QP haven't done much to maintain Queen's fame in the last 10 years. But don't you agree as well when I say that QP can mainly release whatever and people here moan? Imagine a box covering 1988-1989. I'm sure you'll get posts here saying "oh, I have A New Life Is Born already, and I Guess We're Falling Out, why couldn't they release something better." I just want to remind us, that there are lots of fans out there who have never ever heard of a song called My Secret Fantasy, and lots of them might not even care. They would love to go to concerts and they have the Platinum Collection. They don't know the names of Brian's childhood friends or when I Wanna Testify was released. Those people buy and enjoy the Best of Freddie CD.
The release of Milton Keynes was a great thing to do. And yet people moan because they don't get Houston 77 or Earl's Court, while they in fact already have it downloaded somewhere. What I'm saying is, some people never stop moaning and exceptionally many of them post here.

Good nice to see freddie back in shops next to Elvis lol

And even part of that had previously been shown on TV.

I could say, "buy the boxset" but it's out of print.[/QUOTE]

Oh...I have that...I guess I can hear it, lol

So is "The Freddie Mercury Album" going to go out of print now? What about "The Great Pretender"? Will that stay in print now?

Did you tell Brian when you met him? Or were you just too busy perving at someone who could be your grandpa, little 15 year old Queen-maniac. But well, talk to your parents, they might have heard of a band called The Rolling Stones. Ask them about a certain song called "You can't always get what you want".
