...The proper op at last.....!

Hope you enjoy this version. Queen - ‘Greatest Hits 1’ *************************** Ask any Britsh adult over the age of 20 who are / were the greatest rock band ever , and for every ten answers the name Queen will probably featureat least 60% of the time , such is the respect for a truely great British rock band.
