The Very Best of Freddie Mercury Solo

Although Freddie only ever released two solo albums, Mr. Bad Guy and Barcelona, there are reports that he had plans, and, indeed, had started work on a 'covers' album. This is widely considered to be the origin of one of his most popular singles, his version of The Platters' classic The Great Pretender, released first by Freddie in 1987 (when it reached No.4) and subsequently reissued in 1993.

While CD1, with a few exceptions, features mostly versions as originally recorded, the second CD of the set is a feast of rarities and new and unheard remixes. Over half of the tracks featured are 2006 mixes.

In recognition of Freddie's own passion for new musical adventures and his love of the club music scene, for this release a number of his best loved tracks were handed over to some of today's most highly regarded up and coming international remixers: Pixel82, The Glimmers, George Demure, Sunshine People, Rank 1, Star Rider, No More Brothers and The Egg, all given an open brief to take Freddie's original and rework it in their own unique and unpredictable sound and style.
