Format:Audio CD
I got this album for christmas a couple of years ago from my dad who couldn't believe I had reached the tender age of 15 and not heard Bohemian Rhapsody. I had heard it actually but just didn't know what it was. In a desperate attempt to educate me in the ways of classic rock music he invested in this for me and I am pleased to say that it paid off and I am now a Huge Queen fan! We have both enjoyed the album; him because it has all the old favourites, it's not filled with bsides and unheard material, it is the real Queen deal, and me because it was a great introduction to an absolutely fantastic band. The booklet supplied is a great guide to the history of the band and cd 3 has some interesting versions of old queen classics. All in all,I'd say a very good buy for everyone of any age!

I have listened to my Dad's copy of the 2000 CD release of the Platinum Collection and enjoyed the music thoroughly. So with the coming of this 2011 remastered version, I wanted to get my own copy.

I wasn't sure whether the remastered version would be a drastic change from the 2000 CD release as it sounded fairly good already, but after 1 or 2 plays I could tell that it was a great professional job and the stereo mix has been altered and improved greatly. Really worth getting, I especially liked the new mixes of Bohemian Rhapsody, Flash and A Kind of Magic.

What a fine collection of classic Queen this is! Plus with all three CDs in one lovely little package you'll be set for hours of fun and enjoyable listening.

Each CD has something for everyone; a mixture of Queen's heavier tracks, their pop sound, and sometimes their more experimental feel too. This is a must buy for anyone looking to find out more about Queen and their music, as I doubt there is any compilation set put together better than this one. It's the ultimate must-have really...especially for newbies, as it gives a taste of absolutely everything; from their earlier 70s work, right through to songs recorded and mixed after the death of Freddie in 1991. As well as this, Greatest Hits III does feature a few solo songs from band members - "Driven By You" by Brian May, and "Living On My Own" and "The Great Pretender" by Freddie Mercury. It is because of these tracks that I personally have become more attached to the band members' solo work as well as Queen as a whole. If you are looking to experience the best of Queen, or just want a taster this is the album for you.
