The US ended up with its original edit of Queen's first single release, " Keep Yourself Alive", originally released in 1973 and re-released in the US in 1975, following the success of " Bohemian Rhapsody". The US version also added " Under Pressure", Queen's collaboration with David Bowie, which was released the same week as Greatest Hits and subsequently topped the UK Singles Chart and reached the top ten in many charts around the world.

I don’t want to sound too negative though, because I really do like these songs. It’s not even worth stating the obvious, but I’ll go ahead and say Mercury’s talent is on an all time level – especially shining on songs like Somebody To Love. They aren’t my favourite band like they are for others, but I just feel wrong not giving this album a high score. 8/10 In both cases, there is one important thing: The compilation album should not contain songs to be skipped.
