Tak tohle je masakr. Jak pro uši, tak pro peněženky. 12 CD/DVD se sólonahrávkami Freddie Mercuryho! Popravdě jsem nikdy netušil, že by toho mohlo být tolik!

Skalní fanda zaplesá zejména nad disky 7-9, kde se vyskytují rarity z celého zpěvákova tvůrčího období. Je zde ochutnávka velice raritního koncertu Freddieho kapely Ibex a demáč s Wreckage (1969). Neskutečné!!!

Myslím, že celistvější hudební profil, než předkládá tato kolekce, už nemůže být zkompletován. Oceňuji precizní práci s remasterováním starých demáčů, znějí fakt nejlépe, jak je to jen možné.

Pro ty, kdo Freddieho a Queen opravdu "žerou", je tato kolekce zásadní záležitostí. Pro ostatní, pokud jim nevadí cena, je to slušný dárek k vánocům. Ti, co nedisponují plnými peněženkami, mají smůlu. No a ti, které tahle muzika nezájímá můžou vyrazit třeba na lyžovačku do Alp.

Osobně bych dal hvězd pět, ale po objektivním uvážení dávám ** (Jen pro sběratele a a fanoušky)

Tak to je fakt "masakr", len pre tých "in love with F.M.". Mne sólo Freddy asi do konca života vystačí v 2-3 piesňach, čo občas počuť z rádií.
Queen mám naozaj rád, osobne čokoľvek s ním sólo
mi naozaj ku šťastiu nechýba. Nechávam si v hlave priestor na inú muziku.
Mal by som zvolať ako Brano: chlapi nebláznite,
čo už iné nepoznáte ? (he-he, na odľahčenie)
