This album is based on the 1981 UK album of the same name, losing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Flash', but adding 'Body Language' and 'I Want To Break Free'. It is a companion to the 'Classic Queen' album and was also released as a video.
Altogether this is a reasonable compilation, but an odd choice of tracks, as it includes 'Seven Seas Of Rhye' which did not chart, and 'Now I'm Here', 'Good Old Fashioned Loverboy' and 'Save Me', all of which were not released as singles in America. It also includes 'Don't Stop Me Now' which only reached no. 86 in the chart - but omits 'Flash' (#42), 'Need Your Loving Tonight' (#44) and 'Calling All Girls' (#60), so I am not sure if it really deserves to be called 'Greatest Hits'. It is also an odd choice of title, given that the standard 1981 'Greatest Hits' album was released in North America, and is globally much more successful.
