SOLO contains albums MR. BAD GUY and BARCELONA, as well as a bonus CD of hits and rarities.
Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer (Future Disc Systems, Hollywood, California).
SOLO is a snazzy repackaging of the late Queen frontman's solo career, with improved sonics. It includes Freddie Mercury's two official Queen-less albums, including BARCELONA, his jaw-droppingly bizarre collaboration with opera star Montserrat Caballe (who, besides Mercury, could ever have imagined such a pairing?), plus a bonus CD of singles and rarities.
The latter disc contains some of Mercury's best music. It includes a beautiful Phil Spector-ish version of "I Can Hear Music" (originally released, at the height of Gary Glitter's fame, under the parodic nom du disque Larry Lurex), and a wonderfully over the top remake of the Platters' "The Great Pretender."
Includes liner notes by Greg Brooks.
Digitally remastered by Peter Mew (Abbey Road Studios).

MR. BAD GUY:
BARCELONA:
BONUS CD: Freddie Mercury Solo Collection Songs Solo Collection Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A talent the world lost too soon. . .
A must have for anyone who relished in Freddie's widespread musical talent. From singing "In My Defence" with such conviction, to belting out "Barcelona" like no other could, Freddie was most definitely "Made in Heaven".

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 0 of 1 found this helpful. Freddie Mercury lives on in his music
In my opinion,Freddie Mercury was a musical genius -- his rendition of "The Great Pretender" makes it a new song, all his own. The tracks from his album, "Barcelona", are another example of his fantastic musical abilities. Freddie Mercury could sing and compose with the best. To me, he is/was a modern-day Mozart, with his voice being his sublime instrument. Don't miss "How Can I Go On?"

Purchase Solo Collection CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Queen Innuendo CD (1991)
Solo Collection album
 $11.99   
INNUENDO would turn out to be Queen's swan song, as it was the last album released during vocalist Freddie Mercury's lifetime--he passed away several months after the album's release. Expanding on the successful back-to-basics sound of 1989's THE MIRACLE, INNUENDO was another solid outing. And like it's predecessor, it contains several tracks with lyrics that are clearly autobiographical for the band and especially Mercury, ...

Solo Collection album
$12.87 
There must have been something in the water in 1970s Memphis. Not only did the town turn out an unprecedented amount of great R&B, it also hosted a sterling power-pop scene including Big Star, Tommy Hoehn, Van Duren, and Anglophile quartet the Scruffs. Led by McCartney-esque vocalist Stephen Burns, the Scruffs mixed Beatle worship, Big Star-ish rockers, and Raspberries-like pop on their 1977 debut album, WANNA MEET THE SCRUFFS? which became a power-pop cult classic. The Scruffs split up in '79 (though Burns would lead a new version decades later) but the melodic ...
