Description


I do not sell copies or bootlegs.

I post my LPs by Tracked Delivery. I use good quality reinforced cardboard cases and separate the Vinyl from the Sleeves to prevent splits in covers. I also enclose a plastic sleeve for storage if the shrink wrap on the sleeves is not intact.

Reviews:

 Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Queen, originally released in the UK on 26 October 1981.  The album consisted of Queen's best-selling singles since their first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit "Flash".  Queen's Greatest Hits was an instant success, peaking at number one on the UK Album Chart for four weeks.  It has spent over 700 weeks in the UK Charts, and is the best-selling album of all time in the UK, selling over 6 million copies there.  It is certified 8x Platinum in the United States, and is Queen's most commercially successful album worldwide with over 25 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. 
Back in the '80's we were told that the CD would sound so good you'd think the band was performing in the room, and that the death knell for LP's had been sounded by little silver discs. Fast forward to now and guess what...the LP has had the last laugh, thanks to an almost Lazarus like comeback. I bought this CD back in the early '90's when it was first released, but this double 180g, half speed mastered reissue is sublime. I think if I could pick one track that made this purchase worth it, then it would have to be Who Wants To Live Forever. The song just seems to come alive and breathe, every nuance of the great Mercury's delivery just seems to wash over me every time I hear it. The heavier tracks like I Want It All pounds into the brain without all the harshness that the CD has. Innuendo, with it's Spanish guitar middle, played by Steve Howe is amazingly accurate in it's reproduction. If one LP justifies my spending out on a Linn Sondek deck, this is it. Not a duff track among this collection. Messrs. Mercury, May, Taylor & Deacon showing that "Talent will out, my dear"
