Placing flowers on a grave is just a little bit different than releasing a CD and DVD.
Whether you think that the tracklist is good or not is becides the the point. It would be one thing if they said that they were releasing this to celebrate Freddie's life and ALL profits would be donated to the MPT, but I can't say that I have heard anybody say any such thing.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, that would be entirely different and, if ALL proceeds were for charity, then I would be able to understand the project a little better. It's a shame that's not the case, though, or if it is, then they're very good at keeping it secret.
Also, you said almost exactly the same thing I was going to regarding flowers on a grave! Damn you Pieter!

I was wondering the other day if any Queen+PR concert proceeds went to the MPT. I don't remember seeing anything about that on the tour books. I do remember seeing the link to the Trust, but nothing about a portion of the profits going there. I would be more inclined to buy the Freddie CD if I knew that all proceeds were going to his Trust. There is no question about that.
I know this is probably a terribly uninformed opinion, but...
For me, getting a CD is a huge hassle. I wait two weeks for a CD that the people at the store aren't sure if they can even get (which means you have to be paitient and sometimes have to start over after two weeks or risk getting two copies of something from different stores). Of course, this situation would be different if I wanted to listen to Hillary Duff. Or if I could buy things on-line.
If this CD, like "Stone Cold Classics" gets itself released in a store near me, I will be happy. You see, at all stores near me, they don't have a "Freddie Mercury" section (or any other Queen-member solo projects, and none floating in the "M (or T) Other" sections. And since these things were already albums, the people that buy the CD's tend to not sell them off to used stores.
It's just my boring opinion. I would like to get a "Best of Freddie" CD (or the actual album, but chances of anyone ever having any of those in their A51 ware-houses are beyond hopeless), but right now that's not exactly possible. For me, it would be really nice if it came to the local stores...

It's a shame that they couldn't have done a special Queen release to commemerate his birthday....because let's face it....his solo stuff was nothing compared to the work he did with Brian, Roger and John.....all his best stuff was in Queen.......it's kind of like remembering a star football player for his time in the minor leagues and not for when he was part of a championship team....
I just hope that this new cd is available in the U.S. so I can get a copy of it as well!
