Issued in 1992 after Freddie's death. It contains remixes of his solo tracks plus some single-only songs. The LP issue had a printed innersleeve with lyrics and photos.

Not released in the USA! The USA had a different release called The Great Pretender. The differences are different artwork, it had a remix of The Great Pretender (instead of the normal single version), a slightly different ending on the remix Mr. Bad Guy, a remix of the track Love Kills and a remix of My Love Is Dangerous instead of the album version of Barcelona.

The UK and Europe had a Special Edition with a slipcase and five photos.

Ecuador had a unique LP issue with a blue bordered front sleeve and a different back sleeve.

Re-issued in 1997 in the UK on heavy vinyl to celebrate EMI's 100th anniversery.
