Album Notes: Perennially popular stadium glam-rock deities Queen release the results of their 1981 sold-out concert in Montreal's Forum venue. Capturing the band at the very height of their popularity, this release is a prime example of their musical sophistication balancing with their knowledge of a canny pop hook. Not solely focused on Freddie Mercury's vocal histrionics, the Montreal concert shows the other members at the height of their powers, a paradigm of the rock ensemble. 'Queen Rock Montreal' features some of their best-loved hits including 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Another One Bites The Dust' and 'We Are The Champions'.
...As one of the die-hard Queen Fans that remember their entry to the "rock"world Queen's Greatest Hits I is a must for any true fan.

Little known tracks such as ''Back Track'' provide a fun and different angle to the usual Queen repertoire.
The Queen Hot Space album comes highly recommended as an ideal easy listening addition to any record collection. Fresh, upbeat and certainly different -- Buy this if your just getting into Queen after the recent new line up, or Just Buy...
