Greatest Hits 1 [VINYL]

Product Information

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. However, the song was not included on the European versions of Greatest Hits – according to Queen's business manager Jim Beach, this was because the longer manufacturing time required to press records in Europe meant that several hundred thousand copies of the album had already been pressed up before the song had been recorded.
