5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Queen album(s)!, November 23, 2000

This review is from: Platinum Collection 1-3 (Audio CD)

Queen have done us the favor of packaging all three of their "Greatest Hits" albums into one set. The original liner notes are still here, the packaging is very classy with a silver colored slipcase and, as an added bonus, all three CD's are picture discs!Though (as of the date I write this) the set is only available as an import, it is THE collection to buy and enjoy ALL of Queen's hits in one go, from 1974-1999, all the hit singles are here for several hours of pure musical bliss.If you buy any Queen release, THIS is the one to start with as it is a perfect primer for their studio/live albums...you may end up a Queen freak! Even if you just stick with "The Platinum Collection" (and have no interest in buying the other albums) you're set. A CD collection will NOT be complete without this release!

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive collection, October 19, 2001

Queen - The Platinum collection is absolutly a beautiful set. The nicest set in my CD collection. It comes in a sharp looking double jewel case in a slip cover. Contains the UK versions of Greatest Hits I and Greatest Hits II (released with a slightly different track lineup in the states as Classic Queen). All three discs are picture discs with the art that appears on the UK covers and the sound is incredible! The 48 page booklet is also nice. For any Queen fan or fan of rock, this ultra rare import is a must!
