Queen / Greatest Hits
Now 40 years since its original release, Queen‘s Greatest Hits is the biggest selling album in the UK, having chalked up 6.3m sales. Unfortunately, unless you were lucky enough to grab one of the 1000 signed bundles on their official store (guilty as charged), the reissues to mark this occasion are as dull as ditchwater. A ‘collector’s edition’ CD with a slipcase, anyone? A cassette? Frankly, it’s an embarrassing, minimum-effort approach.
