QUEENGIMME THE PRICE
Queen were originally formed as Smile but changed their name for their first and eponymous album. At first,, their music leaned towards glam-rock but, as soon as the glam wave began to lose its momentum, the band chose a poppier orientation (on A Night At The Opera, 1975) with hints of hard rock thrown in the mix (particularily on Sheer Heart Attack, 1974). The eighties saw them at the peak of their popularity with poppy (I Want To Break Free) and even disco/funk oriented material (Another One Bites The Dust). Unfortunately their finest work remained unnoticed (with the exception of Bohemian Rhapsody) so that I felt a good retrospective compilation was a necessity.CD1:

WTF???
The links are not working!
Indeed, If you are reading carfully to the link, it's written that it's coming.
Be patient, we may have some difficulty to upload sometimes. But they will come, be sure of it.
And, please no "WTF", it's a polite blog here ;)
Sorry old chap!
My "WTF" was only expressing the disappointed of not being able to get your compilation straight away as it does look good and there's many songs I've never ever heard...
Looking forward to this!
Thx!
I hope you'll be able to get it tonight, my connexion is really disturbed these days
Moodswings brought me here, the music made me stay. looking forward to a long and loving relationship. thank you s'much!
Just read your comment, Thanks for the congratulations and welcome !
I was also brought by Moodswings. I really love your blog. I have made many "compilations" in my life and it is great fun to see how you do yours.
Please allow me to be critical: CD1 cannot be compared at all with CD2. In fact, after "Jazz", even blindly loving Queen, I can only find a couple of songs that can be compared to Ogre Battle or We Will Rock You (live Killers version, bien sure).

I agree with you. After Jazz, Queen were not as good as before. This second CD was in fact made by an old girlfriend of mine who is a big Queen fan and wanted to show me how good were some of those post-jazz tracks.
I must admit she made a good work. And I salute her even if she's not aware of that blog. Cheers Celine.
Great art work!!
and by the way, great blog too!
Very nice collection. I just wanted to point out that the name of the song is "Gimme the Prize". I wouldn't mention it but since it's the name of the Baistophe I thought it should be pointed out. Unless there's a reason you changed it that I don't understand...I have not actually downloaded it since I have all Queen's albums already...
Thanks for sharing. I only downloaded cd 2 since I have several comps with the material on disc 1. Your work is appeciated.
