2018 three CD collection. Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of progressive rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard rock bands. In The Many Faces of Queen we will delve into the inner world of the legendary British foursome including their early recordings, collaborations and their fantastic repertoire. With remastered sound and fantastic artwork, The Many Faces Of Queen is an essential addition to your rock music collection. Disc One features early recordings by members of Queen including tracks by Smile, Larry Lurex (AKA Freddie Mercury), Eddie Howell featuring Brian May & Freddie Mercury and more. Disc Two features the songs of Queen as interpreted by rockers like Lemmy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Bob Kulick, Robin McAuley and many others. Disc Three includes symphonic interpretations of Queen classics like "Under Pressure," Love Of My Life," "We Are The Champions," and, of course, "Bohemian Rhapsody."

I saw this a few days ago, what a pointless, disjointed compilation. It's like someone had some MP3s lying around and decided to burn them as they were. Like they didn't even try.

sorry, but which version means (or rather, where it comes from):
CD 3 - 8. Queen - Love of my life (For Piano & Orchestra)
many thanks
I believe CD3 tracks are a mix from this release and probably Queen Classic (Royal Philarmonic Orchestra).
There is only one way to confirm that this release is official and not a bootleg.
It would need to be released exclusively as a super-deluxe box set with 6 lps and 3 CDs
It comes in a lavish box with:
Freddie's used jockstrap (Japan 1985)
Deacy's unwashed shorts (c1986)
Roger's cocaine spoon (unidentified date)
Kerry Ellis's "Spanx" (2018) - donated by Brian who didn't have anything interesting at all to include.......
Was interesting on his chat thing that Tim S. said Queen owned the Smile stuff now. It's probably about time they put them out to stop this kind of release. Lazy bootlegging to include Mad The Swine and the Larry Lurex material.
Strange how in the last few years this kind of release has crept into normal shops. I assume it's because these companies actually pay rights to the artists so the artists just sit back and have the cash roll in with no other costs to them. But still, you'd think they'd want to take some pride in the material and package it nicely (and of course charge us 3x the amount)
Dyson, it's not as simple as "just paying the band" because Queen are on major record labels in the world. They have a contract to release Queen material and won't just ignore some smaller company moving in on their rights.
Funny, I found this new at a Sunrise Records store. (a sort of chain of record stores in Canada) I wonder what other bootlegs I'll find if I dig around enough.
