I have been putting this review off because I have been contemplating how to make this into a review. You know what type of review I was going to make, so rather than just going into detail, because I covered most of the songs featured on this compilation( It is like their first of three greatest hits or something.), I don’t need to go into much detail about them. This was re-released with a CD and vinyl version( I think. Definitely the CD version.)to celebrate the compilation’s 40th anniversary. The original cover has a portrait of the band, designed by Lord Snowdon.

Queen is like Marmite for many music lovers, although their iconic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ usually tops the best song ever polls internationally. So what’s “new” about this reissue? You can buy cassettes in five different colours and a collector’s CD signed by lead guitarist Brian May and Roger Taylor. 

However, as much as you might hate them, you wouldn’t let the lyrics pass you by, as you would have heard many of their songs at parties or wedding receptions. For those who love sport, you can listen to ‘We are the Champions’ at almost every major cup final as the players celebrate with the trophy. Of course, the first volume of their Greatest Hits contains; ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘We are the Champions’, ‘We Will Rock You’, and many of their plethora of iconic songs. I have not listed some in the aforementioned, which I will recommend for you. I am quite surprised the compilation became number one, with all the streaming at a younger listener’s disposal. They have many new artists they would rather listen to, but legends like Queen still have that appeal across the generational board.

Song recommendations: ‘We are the Champions’, ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘Under Pressure’
