Queen's second UK compilation, released in 1991 on 2LP, CD and cassette.

The first UK LP pressing (10,000 copies) has an embossed crest on the gatefold sleeve.

A UK promotional box was released featuring the Hits II CD, Flix II video (in a white cardboard sleeve or a blue cardboard sleeve) and the book Pix II. The box is simply called II.

There are some LP variations in other countries: some countries don't have a gatefold sleeve or have a black sleeve instead of dark blue.

Not released in the USA.

Re-issued in Japan on CD in 2001 with improved sound quality.
