3.0 out of 5 stars Great songs, but not all as intended by their creator!, 27 Mar 2002

By	M. D. Rathbone (Runcorn, Cheshire - UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I suppose this can be classed as Freddie's greatest hits because it contains all the hits from two albums, a musical plus the one-off hits "Great Pretender" and "Love Kills"

BUT, BUT, BUT - BEWARE!!! Most of these songs have been remixed beyond recognition, and generally not to their benefit. Buy "Mr Bad Guy" for a true representation of Freddie solo, and get the more recent "Solo collection" to mop up the rest of his hits, THEN if you still feel the urge come back to this to hear what remains.

Served it's purpose at the time as it was issued as a single CD soon after his death to help satisfy the initial surge of demand for Freddie material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't not buy it just cos of that,, 31 Jan 2002

By	Paul Staveley (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, this is not how he intended the songs to sound (well, not most of them anyway) but these versions (almost without exception) sound massively superior to the originals. Take "Foolin' Around" transformed from boring 3 chord nothing-ness into a intricate and interesting song. "Mr Bad Guy" loses it's orchestral symphonic feel and becomes a hard rocking power-house of a song. There are a million new things to hear in all the remixes, and although they're not all better ("Time" is good but no great improvement and "Living On My Own" isn't the best) it's well worth hearing, as the original versions of the song are his vocals covering up the patchy song-writing, but this album is his vocals excelling themselves along with great backing tracks.

Get it.

By	.Richard "Rich" (england) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

i've never felt an impact of when I put this CD in my player i was blown away in the first few seconds of the great pretender then after i came down from cloud nine and the third song came on "time" i just satsilent all the through it [and that's a change for me]i couldn't believe what i was hearing one man's voice that could make you cry. yes this collection has got critism for the remixing buy it to keep mercury legacy alive. "oh yes i'm the great pretender" Legends never die
