Queen - Greatest Hits II
Originally released in November 1991, less than a month before the death of Freddie Mercury, 'Greatest Hits II', has been re-worked and re-mastered. The hits collection, which features the group's biggest songs from 1981 to 1991, has been digitally re-mastered by legendary mastering engineer Bob Ludwig. The tracklisting remains the same, but the album cover and booklet have been refreshed and brought up-to-date for 2011.
With worldwide album sales of more than 170 million, Number One albums, singles and DVDs the world over, inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, over 700 concerts performed in every corner of the world including their historic appearance at Live Aid, and a Guinness Book of World Records award for the most successful UK album chart act in history, Queen represent one of the most remarkable, compelling stories in popular culture.
A 2010 agreement with Universal Music covers the world outside North America, and the music of Queen appears through Island Records from 1 January 2011.
Brian May of Queen said: "We are very excited, after all this time, to be embarking on a new phase of our career - with a new record company - with new ideas, and new dreams."
