During the 1980s, Freddie Mercury--the flamboyant lead singer of Queen--launched a ... more
promising solo career that produced two wildly disparate albums, a handful of singlesand contributions to other projects that are documented in this three-disc collection. While 1985's "Mr Bad Guy" finds Mercury's melodramatic vocal flair struggling to overpower his sometimes patchy songwriting and the dated Euro-disco production of Reinhold Mack, the singer rose to the campy heights of "Bohemian Rhapsody"--and then some--on "Barcelona", his grand, neo-operatic collaboration with Spanish diva Montserrat Caballe and one of the most deliriously ambitious pop albums of modern times. Both are available here in sharp, digitally remastered sound. The third bonus disc gives another broad outline of Mercury's talents, from the rare, surprising 1972/slightly pre-Queen Phil Spector tribute single, "I Can Hear Music" through his contributions to Giorgio Moroder'sMetropolissoundtrack, Dave Clark's musical theatre pieceTimeand the singer's delightfully overwrought remake of "The Great Pretender", a song he claimed as autobiography.--Jerry McCulley

Advantages: A musical and visual extravaganza! Disadvantages: Too expensive for the average fan
On October 23rd, The FreddieMercurySoloCollection is to be released. The releases are in various formats including a 10 CD and 2DVD set presented in a deluxe 120 page slipcase hardback book includine a forward by Brian May. The formats then range from a 3 CD set and a Video collection on VHS and DVD. This is a true must for Freddie fans, however I have read on the queen on line site that the 10 cd pack will be in the region of £120.00. Whilst this is a fair price for 10 cds, it is a lot of money to ask a fan to shell out - it really is a rich collectors dream as it will feature rarities and interviews. I have no doubt that the set will be excellent and a must for those with money to burn - however I find that the cost is out of my reach. I shall have to settle for the 3 cd set or the video! Knowing the quality of Freddie's work ...
