Queen's first Greatest Hits album came out in November of 1981.This compilation was released worldwide with different tracklistings in some territories and was a proper introduction to Queen's 1973-80 period (mine included when I first had a copy of this on cassette I acquired in December of 1990 with a dub of the US Elektra Records version).This CD version of the 1981 Greatest Hits is its original UK tracklisting featuring classics like "Another One Bites the Dust" which was Queen's biggest US hit which hit #1 in 1980 and is a rock disco classic. Plus Queen's first US Top 10 and first UK #1 in 1975 hit out of "Bohemian Rhapsody" which reached #9 in the US in 1976 and this classic needs no explanation (would reach #2 in its US re-release in 1992). We also have the band's first US #1 hit from 1980 out of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" which is a classic rockabilly romp. "Killer Queen" follows and was the band's first US Top 20 hit in Spring 1975 in the US and hit #2 in 1974 in the UK. Included is the single mix of "Fat Bottomed Girls" which is a nice different version to the full album track and that was a Top 30 US hit in 1978 as was its A-side "Bicycle Race".We also have "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" which both hit #4 in early 1978 here in the US (the tracks are separate but the US record company Elektra Records insisted on playing the two together) and both are classic rally cry/victory cry songs and were #2 in the UK. Also included is the single mix of the song "Flash" which was the theme to the 1980 film Flash Gordon (did well in UK but not so well Stateside). Also on this is the US Top 20 hit from early 1977/UK Top 5 from 1976 out of "Somebody to Love" which was a great gospel tinged rocker. The 1976 US Top 20/UK Top 10 hit ballad "You're My Best Friend" which was the follow up single to "Bohemian Rhapsody" on A Night at the Opera is here. Plus you have the UK Top 20/US Top 50 hit "Play the Game" from 1980, great ballad.The other tracks which appear on the UK greatest hits album were the rock radio hit "Now I'm Here" (a UK Top 20 in 1975), the classic "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" (a UK Top 30 in 1977 but not released as single Stateside, instead it was "Long Away" that got released and tanked), the classic "Seven Seas of Rhye" (a UK hit but stiffed here in the US in 1974), the big UK Top 10 hit "Don't Stop Me Now" (which was well received on US rock radio but flopped on pop singles chart in 1979, Bee Gees and disco ruled the roost on singles in US) and the ballad "Save Me" (which was a UK Top 20 in 1980 but an album track here in the States as the song was not issued as a single in the US) round out the CD.This CD was first released in the 1980s with dull sound. Then in 1994, Parlophone/EMI re-released with remastered sound which was done at Abbey Road Studios and sounds better than some versions out (the 2001 Japan remaster would be issued in the US in 2004 with even superior sonic quality).RECOMMENDED!

Estaba buscando algo que compilara algunos éxitos de Queen y este doble vinilo es excelente. La calidad de sonido es muy buena y los temas me encantan. Lo recomiendo.El disco llegó perfecto y bien empacado.

Minus 1 star hurts but I got unlucky with this one. I went through two orders of replacements before I got a copy that wasn't skipping as well as warped and lifting off my player. My copy still has 1 skip but it lays flat so I'm going to deal with it.Now to the good stuff, this pressing is very nice. It has a good weight to it and isn't filmsy like a lot of newer pressings. Hearing Freddie Mercury's voice on vinyl is a dream; his vocal range never ceases to amaze me. Queen overall, sound incredible on this pressing. No noise, pops, static or anything interrupting play (except for the one skip that happens during "The Game" but that's on my copy).Some notes, I had to give these a good clean with a cleaning spray before playing as a lot of paper flecks were in the grooves. Then I swiped over them using my carbon fiber brush. After the first play there was a bit of debris that build up on my stylus but I'm sure with a few more cleanings that will subside. If you have a good cleaning system, this vinyl will sound amazing but if you skip that step you might have a few playback discrepancies. Can't say for sure though.**spoiler**I love that the inner sleeves have little bios about each song and how it implemented their music journey. That was a really nice surprise because I love facts about songs, artists and global charts.All in all, I'm very pleased to have "Queen Greatest Hits I" in my collection. It took a few replacements but in the end it was worth it!Happy Spinning to you all!

Ótimo disco.

El disco se ve hermoso en ese color, el sonido no tiene comparación. Debe ser de lo mejor que he comprado

Great pressing now this is a number one hits. Queen hits two sucks. Great pressing, just like everyone else has commented on.
