QUEEN - ABSOLUTE GREATEST
http://www.queenonline.com/news/1439/

20 Years of Queen's Biggest Hits - In music, pictures and live
performances!
Formats: Four CD, Vinyl/Compact, Luxury, 2 Digital formats

Queen. Someone ought to erect a monument to them. Think about it: they
have
ruled their game longer than many of our most famous leaders, their
words
can be repeated by many more than can recite our most celebrated
writers,
and despite more than three generations passing since they first blasted
their way into our consciousness, they're just as omnipresent today as
they
ever were.

So what is it about Queen that makes it all so? You have to look no
further
than the forthcoming Absolute Greatest hits package, released November 9
(November 10, USA) in four different CD and LP, compact and luxury sets,
illustrated with some fine photos and videos, to see where it all comes
from.

Charting over 21 years of making people rock, feel, sense and celebrate,
Absolute Greatest reminds us just what fine and smart, rock and pop
writers
and musicians Messrs Deacon, May, Mercury and Taylor were (are). Also
that
they had a sense of humour, which is perhaps another thing that made
them
so accessible.

A joyous celebration of Queen's - and many of our own - greatest
moments,
Absolute Greatest also comes in very personalised versions in which band
members Brian May and Roger Taylor share their own memories about the
tracks chosen for this collection. In a limited-edition book version,
the
Queen photo archives are opened up with 52 pages of unseen and rare
photos,
and handwritten song lyrics by each member of the band (including
corrections and rewrites). Certain versions provide exclusive access to
online streaming of 20 of Queen's greatest live performances.

OK, so we shouldn't expect to see the likes of Queen carved into Mount
Rushmore, or find their way to a Trafalgar Square plinth (now there's an
idea), so for the moment let's accept that Absolute Greatest will serve
as
a terrific tribute to a monumental music history!

Ah, these are the days of our lives. Absolute Greatest - Queen.

Nagu oleks vähe neid kogumikke juba välja antud. Ei, on veel raha vaja.
See on veidi nõme.

See, et j2rjekordne kompilatsioonalbum v2lja panna, pole tingimata "poiste" enda otsus. J2me ots on siin ju ilmselgelt EMI k2es, kes nagu teisedki "suured" plaadifirmad, pole veel suutnud oma 2rimudelit edukalt muuta ning ajaga kaasa minna ja loodab ikka vanale j6ulumyygi trikile, et natukenegi raha sisse tuua.

Aga muidu on jah n6me see igasugune Greatest Greatest Hitside asi.. Ma olen muidugi kindel, et siin riigis leiab nii m6nigi isa/vanaisa kesiganes oma j6ulupakist just selle CD.

Tartus noortevanglas nähtud müügil seda parem poolset plaadikogu kas 599 vöi 699 krooni eest. http://www.queensinglesbox.com/
Ma vaatan, et peab lausa miljonäär olema, et seda köike kraami mis Queen välja lasknud on, endale osta.

Kuulasin Brian'i ja Roger'i kommentaaridega CD, kus nad räägivad lühidalt (keskmiselt poole loo pikkuselt) iga hiti tegemisest jms. Mõned uued faktid, aga üldiselt teada-tuntud asjad.
Kui sa näiteks ei teadnud, et Radio Ga Ga pealkiri tulenes Roger'i pojalt, kes ütles Radio Caca (prantsuse keeles sama sõna, mis meil k'ga...), siis on need kommentaarid täitsa huvitavad.
