Specially-priced U.K.-only release featuring the late great Queen vocalist's first two solo albums, 1985's 'Mr. Bad Guy' & 1988's 'Barcelona', teamed up with a seven track bonus CD featuring non-album singles he cut, including his first solo venture from 1973 (a remake of the Beach Boys' 'I Can Hear Music'), plus his campy cover of The Platters' classic golden oldie 'The Great Pretender' and two versions of 'Love Kills (his contribution to Giorgio Moroder's 1984 remake of director Fritz Lang's historic 1926 sci-fi film 'Metropolis'). Listeners are treated to a total of 26 tracks, each of whi ch has been digitally remastered. This set comes housed in a slipcase with a full color 28 page booklet.

This Version Contains the Long Unavailable 'Mr Bad Guy' & 'Barcelona' Solo Albums with a Bonus Disc in a Gatefold Wallet featuring Six Tracks. All Remastered with a Color 28 Page Booklet. (3CD Set)



Mr. Bad Guy:

After 15 years at the helm of British rock legends Queen, singer Freddie Mercury finally released his first solo album Mr. Bad Guy while the band was on hiatus in 1985. As Queen's vocal signature and creative leader, it was only natural that many aspects of the group's sound would carry over into Mercury's solo work; however, the frontman still does a commendable job of stretching into uncharted territory. The synthesizers of "Let's Turn It On" announce that Queen's typical guitar heaviness will be conspicuously absent throughout the album, while extravagance will be at an all-time high. "I Was Born to Love You," the album's lead-off single, elevates '70s disco and '80s dance influences to a level of blatant pop silliness that Queen would never dare approach. Mercury also combines his acoustic piano playing with synthesizer-driven backing tracks for the beautifully dramatic "Made in Heaven" and "Your Kind of Lover," which transforms from a simple lounge number (piano and singer) into a Latin-flavored pop workout. The singer's talent for complex and original arrangements also yields multifaceted pieces like "Man Made Paradise," with its Queen-like chorused opera vocals and Brian May-esque guitar soloing, and the daring, self-mocking title track which combines a sinister bass motif, playful piano tinkling, and even big band horn arrangements. Other winners such as "There Must Be More to Life than This," "Living on My Own," and "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" help make this an outstanding record from start to finish. [Unfortunately, the original version of the record remains out of print on CD and the Hollywood Records reissue (under the title The Great Pretender) omits some tracks and tampers with the overall original mix.]

Barcelona:

With Barcelona, Queen singer Freddie Mercury realized his long-lived dream of performing with an opera singer; in this case, Montserrat Caballe. While it's certainly a treat for any fan of Mercury's to hear this album, it's a difficult record to recommend. Most fans of opera will probably find it far too simplistic and pop-based, while many rock fans are sure to find the record too classical. The first half of the album, however, is deserving of a spin for any open-minded listener. Consisting of semi-operatic melodies with grand production, songs like "Barcelona" and the Eastern-sounding "La Japonaise" are startling in their beauty; the two singers from opposite ends of the music spectrum working surprisingly well off each other. The most classically operatic pieces of the project, "Ensueno" and "The Fallen Priest," are alternately gorgeous and powerfully dramatic. Unfortunately, the second half of the album is less successful as it reverses the formula of the first half. While Mercury can do well in semi-operatic settings, Caballe sounds awkward on the more pop-oriented tracks "Guide Me Home" and "How Can I Go On." "The Golden Boy," largely a gospel track with a full choir, is well-written and performed by Mercury, but Caballe's voice is simply not suited for the genre and the operatic opening sounds jarring against the gospel midsection. Nonetheless, despite its weaknesses, the record contains some beautiful and passionate music that is unlike anything most fans of rock and pop are likely to have heard before. For that alone it should be commended.

Although it's only a teaser for a forthcoming ten-CD set, the three-CD Solo box is a pretty comprehensive look at Freddie Mercury's less rock-oriented solo career. Mercury's two albums from the '80s, 1985's Mr. Bad Guy and 1988's Barcelona, are repackaged in their entirety as separate discs; there's also a third disc of rarities, including Mercury's pre-Queen solo single "I Can Hear Music" (recorded as Larry Lurex), his movie soundtrack contribution "Love Kills," and his non-LP U.K. hit cover of "The Great Pretender." In addition, the set has been remastered and comes with a 28-page booklet.

During the 1980s, Freddie Mercury--the flamboyant lead singer of Queen--launched a promising solo career that produced two wildly disparate albums, a handful of singles and contributions to other projects that are documented in this three-disc collection. While 1985's "Mr Bad Guy" finds Mercury's melodramatic vocal flair struggling to overpower his sometimes patchy songwriting and the dated Euro-disco production of Reinhold Mack, the singer rose to the campy heights of "Bohemian Rhapsody"--and then some--on "Barcelona", his grand, neo-operatic collaboration with Spanish diva Montserrat Caballe and one of the most deliriously ambitious pop albums of modern times. Both are available here in sharp, digitally remastered sound. The third bonus disc gives another broad outline of Mercury's talents, from the rare, surprising 1972/slightly pre-Queen Phil Spector tribute single, "I Can Hear Music" through his contributions to Giorgio Moroder's Metropolis soundtrack, Dave Clark's musical theatre piece Time and the singer's delightfully overwrought remake of "The Great Pretender", a song he claimed as autobiography.

Neun Jahre nach dem Tod des Queen-Sängers Freddie Mercury gibt es nun für Fans und Neueinsteiger die drei CDs umfassende Box Solo -- The Very Best Of Freddie Mercury. Die beiden digital bearbeiteten Original-Soloalben des Sängers werden durch eine Bonus-CD mit diversen Liveaufnahmen, Singleversionen und Remixes ergänzt. Die Solowerke des Briten könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein und beweisen seine stimmliche Vielseitigkeit und breiten musikalischen Interessen. Das Solo-Debüt Mr. Bad Guy entstand im Münchner Moroder-Studio als Schnellschuss mit überwiegend deutschen Begleitmusikern wie Gitarrist Paul Vincent, Schlagzeuger Curt Cress und Bassist Stephan Wissnet. Hier zeigt sich Mercury als Rocker von kraftvollen, punktgenauen Balladen und Midtempo-Songs wie "Made In Heaven" oder "I Was Born To Love You". Obwohl allesamt Ohrwurm-Charakter besitzen, wurde "Living On My Own" sein einziger Nummer-eins-Solohit, und das auch erst 1993 postum als Wiederveröffentlichung. Barcelona erschien 1988 nach langer Vorbereitungszeit und wartete mit einer Riege von zusätzlichen Textern, Arrangeuren und klassischen Musikern auf. Der eigentliche Star des opulenten, opernhaften Liederreigens ist die spanische Opernsängerin Montserrat Caballé, für die Mercury das kongeniale Duett "Barcelona" komponierte. Die offizielle Hymne für die Olympischen Spiele 1992 stieg auf Platz zwei der Single-Charts und avancierte bei Rock- und Klassikfans gleichermaßen zu einem echten 'Klassiker'. 1973, noch vor dem Albumdebüt der Band Queen, veröffentlichte Mercury, unter dem Pseudonym Larry Lurex, als Single das Evergreen "I Can Hear Music" von Phil Spector, mit dem die Beach Boys 1969 einen Hit hatten. Neben dieser Rarität kann man auf der Bonus-CD mit sieben Stücken die erste, von Georgio Moroder produzierte Single-Version von "Love Kills" zu dem Soundtrack für Fritz Langs Stummfilm Metropolis hören, einen weiteren Rock-Mix und Remixes von "In My Defence" und "Time" aus dem Musical-Album Time. Ein sorgfältig zusammengestelltes Booklet mit vielen Hintergrundinformationen ergänzt die lupenreine Kollektion.

I'm mr. Bad Guy
Yes I'm everybody's mr. Bad Guy
Can't you see I'm mr. Mercury
Oh, spread your wings and fly away with me.

Your big daddy's got no place to stay
Bad communication

MAN MADE PARADISE

I want to gaze into your eyes and see the fire in their glow
But it's the same old story
Want you to melt inside my arms like falling rain upon the snow
But you say no, you say no
Want you to help me thru deep water when my ship is in a storm
Want you to give me all the power like a king on his throne
But you don't care, you don't care
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again.

Come into my life, it's a manmade paradise
Come into my life, it's a manmade paradise
Come into my life, it's a manmade paradise
Come into my life, it's a manmade paradise, paradise

One day I'll look into your mind and understand which way to go
But it's the same old story
When you refuse me all the time I'm suicidal on my own
But you don't know, you don't know
I want to be beside you now, lie in the sand and kiss your brow
I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
But you don't care, you don't care
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again.

Repeat chorus

I want to be beside you now, lie in the sand and kiss your brow
I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
But you say no, you say no
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again.

A capella


THERE MUST BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS

There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Meaning all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces
The must be more to life than living
The must be more then meets the eye
Why should it be just a case of black or white
There must be more to life than this

Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy that we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life

There must be more to life than killing
A better way for us to survive
That good is life, if in the end we all must die
There must be more to life than this

There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
I live and hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace
Then must be more to life, much to life,
There must be more to life, more to life than this.


LIVING ON MY OWN

Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry
Nowhere to go, nothing to do with my time
I get lonely, so lonely, living on my own.

Sometimes I feel I'm always walking too fast
And everything is coming down on me, down on me, I go crazy
Oh so crazy - living on my own.

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning
Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld
It' not easy - living on my own

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Repeat chorus


MY LOVE IS DANGEROUS

My love is dangerous, dangerous, my love is dangerous,
Always make you bleed, always make you bleed
Always make you bleed - love is dangerous.

Don't follow in my footsteps, you don't belong to me
You only make a mistake, don't try and understand me,
Don't try and understand me, all I'm trying to say -

My love is dangerous, dangerous, love is dangerous
Make everybody cry, everybody cry
Everybody cry - love is dangerous.

Don't waste your time with loving, love don't work for me
Don't try to show your feelings
Step carefully - step carefully, all I'm trying to say:

My love is dangerous, because I'm your enemy
Watch your step carefully
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know me
Dangerous, no can give you guarantee, I'm your 1 day ecstasy
Next day no

Dangerous, ooo dangerous, love is dangerous,
Love is dangerous, yea
All I'm really trying to say to you - love is dangerous

No go play fire with me - fire dance for me
You no can take a pisstake
Don't go criticize me, no go analyze me, all I'm trying to say -

My love is dangerous, because I'm your enemy
Watch your step carefully
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know me
Dangerous, no can give you guarantee, I'm your 1 day ecstasy
Next day no

Dangerous, dangerous, my love is dangerous
Always makes you bleed
Always makes you bleed
Always makes you bleed
Love is...............


LOVE ME LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

You had to kill the conversation
You always had the upper hand
Got caught in love and stepped in sinking sand
You had to go and ruin all our plans
Packed your bags and you're leaving home
Got a one-way ticket and you're all set to go
But we have one more day together, so

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

I guess we drift alone in separate ways
I don't have all that far to go
God knows I've learnt to play the lonely man
I've never felt so low in all my life
We were born to be just losers
So I guess there's a limit on how far we go
But we only have one more day together, so

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Tomorrow god knows just where I'll be
Tomorrow who knows just what's in store for me
Anything can happen but we only have one more day together, yeah
Just one more day forever, so

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Repeat Chorus


Barcelona:

BARCELONA.

I had this perfect dream
Un sueno me envolvio
This dream was me and you
Tal vez estas aqui
I want all the world to see
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
The wind is a gentle breeze
El me hablo de ti
The bells are ringing out
El canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
Barcelona!
It was the first time that we met
Barcelona!
How can I forget the moment
That you stepped into the room
You took my breath away
Barcelona!
La musica vibro
Barcelona!
Y ella nos unio
And if God is willing
We will meet again someday
Let the songs begin
Dejalo nacer
Let the music play
Ahhhhhhh...
Make the voices sing
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
Ven a mi. And cry!
Grita! Come alive
Vive! And shake
The foundations from the skies
Shaking all our lives
Barcelona!
Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona!
Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti sere gaviota de tu bella mar
Barcelona!
Suenan las campanas
Barcelona!
Abre tus puertas al mundo
If God is willing
If God is willing
If God is willing
Friends until the end
Viva!
Barcelona!

LA JAPONAISE

I feel the power
Of the stranger inside me
A force of magic surrounds me
This fountain within me is overflowing
Peaceful and inviting
Beautiful and enticing
Rising sun bless my morning with a smile
A magic pearl from the seas
Born in a willow breeze
Loyal friend my guardian angel in the sky
You've served me well all these years
Greeting with both hands
Trusting with no fears. Till the end
When everything is golden
And everything is oh
And everything is ah

My only living treasure on this earth
When everything is golden
Everything and everyone is ah

THE FALLEN PRIEST

Free me, free yourself
A life of sacrifice controlled me
But those promises I made
No longer hold me
Mercurial more wayward by the hour
The shackles fall away I'm in your power
Free me, and free yourself
Come to me and let me lead you
I beg you, I beseech you to let go
My heaven is yours
And heaven is all I know
## We are mortal in the hands of Gods
Who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find. We are mortal
Victims of our weakness and passion
We are reaching for the heights
I'm falling
I am falling from the heights
But I promised I would serve
I should be a rock
Against depravity and sin
Oh no sin no sin
Free yourself, let your life begin Oh
To yourself be true. I am a man of God
I should not be there with you
Free me, we are mortal ah
Come a little closer to the fire
To love and live that one desire
Denial of thet love is treason
The love that we make
The force of our lives and it's reason
Repeat ##
I am falling,
I am falling we, we are mortal
Why do I believe in you
You're destroying my world
Hold nothing back
Give me all there is. I want it all
This is all there is
Prisoners of each others love
Prisoners of each others love

ENSUENO

En mi sueno te vi
Tu luz llegaba de tan lejos
Tu voz penetra en mi
Vibra en ti. Vibra en mi.
Suavemente me llevaba a ti
Oi el sonido
Tu voz dulcemente.
Me decia: "Ven" "Ven iunto a mi"
Volver a vivir
Saber que mi suendo no esta solo.
Alienta en ti. Tu y yo cantando los dos
Yo sonaba en ser tu mismo mar, tu mar
Es puente de union. De nuestras almas
Vuelan, nos llaman
Al son de la eternidad

THE GOLDEN BOY

The boy had a way with words,
He sang, he moved with grace
He entertained so naturally,
No gestire out of place
His road in life was clearly drawn,
He didn't hesitate
He played they saw,
He conquered as the master of his fate.
The girl had an iron soul
No one could recognize
Material ambition
That her gentleness disguised
She gave herself to him
Certain of his fame
Wanted him for luxury,
For limelight and his name
And then he sang to her
## I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and came releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
** I love you for your passion
I love your for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name
His rise was irresistible -
He grew into the part
His explanation simply
That he suffered for his art
No base considerations
Of some glittered reward
The price was knowing
That his work was noticed and adored
Repeat ##
Yes he told the truth
Accepting every honour
With a masterly display
Of well rehearsed reluctance
To be singled out this way
He started to believe
That he was all they said and more
While she forgot -
She forgot the reasons
She wanted him before
Repeat **
The stil and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
And when at last they fell apart
She wished that she could be
The hardened heart of yesterday,
As cynical as he
By changing for the better,
She had changed things for the worse
The words that made them happy
Once now echoed... echoed as a curse

GUIDE ME HOME.

Now the wind has lost my sail
Now the scent has left my trial
Who will find me
Take care and side with me
Guide me back, safely to my home
Where I belong... Once more
Where is my star in heaven's bough
Where is my strength, I need it now
Who can save me
Lead me to my destiny
Guide me back, safely to my home
Where I belong... Once more
Guide me back, safely to my home
Where I belong... Once more
But how can I go on?
How can I go on this way...

HOW CAN I GO ON.

When all the salt is taken from the sea
I stand dethroned. I'm naked and I bleed
But when your finger points so savageky,
Is anybody there to believe in me
To hear my plea and take care of me?
How can I go on from day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I safe, where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and
They're no where to be found
How can I go on
Sometimes I tremble in the dark
I can not see when people frighten me
I try to hide myself
So far from the crowd
Is anybody there to comfort me
Lord... take care of me
How can I go on from day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I safe, where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and no where to be found
How can I go on

Bonus CD:

I CAN HEAR MUSIC

This is the way I always dreamed it would be
The way that it is,oh,when you are holding me
I never had a love of my own
Maybe that's why when we're all alone

I can hear music
I can hear music
Sounds of the city baby seem to disappear
Oh well I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
When ever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

Loving you it keeps me satisfied
And I can't explain,oh no,the way I'm feeling inside
You look at me we kiss and then
I close my eyes and here it comes again

I can hear music
I can hear music
Sounds of the city baby seem to disappear
Oh well I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
When ever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
When ever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
When ever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

THE GREAT PRETENDER

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (oooh oooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (oooh oooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oooh oooh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah oooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around


LIVING ON MY OWN

Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry
Nowhere to go, nothing to do with my time
I get lonely, so lonely, living on my own.

Sometimes I feel I'm always walking too fast
And everything is coming down on me, down on me, I go crazy
Oh so crazy - living on my own.

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning
Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld
It' not easy - living on my own

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Repeat chorus


IN MY DEFENCE

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream

Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die

Oh help me God
Please help me


TIME

Time waits for nobody

Time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time is running out for us all

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time, it waits for nobody

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all (confided in each other at all)
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall

(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
(Time)

Yeah, Time waits for nobody
No no, Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all

Time (time) time (time) waits for nobody waits for nobody
Time time time time waits for nobody at all

Time waits for nobody, yeah
Time don't wait, waits for no-one
Let us free this world for ever
And build a brand new future for us all

Time waits for nobody nobody nobody
For no-one
