The reviews are in Bohemian Rhapsody the movie is not doing so with the critics. It's a real shame, because "Bohemian Rhapsody" the song was an instant Queen classic when it was released on 1975's Night At The Opera album. Considered at the time to be the most expensive single ever recorded, it was one of the songs cementing Queen as rock and roll legends and made Freddie Mercury's career. While the movie might not be highly lauded, the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack is an A-plus collection of Queen music, or any other fan of the group, or anyone looking to learn more about their music, will love.
For a long time, there were really only three comprehensive Queen albums: The Red, The Blue, and the White Albums. The "Red" Greatest Hits I album was released in 1981. The "Blue" Greatest Hits II album came out in 1991. The "White" Greatest Hits I, II, & III album was both the Red and the Blue album, plus a third disc of the group's solo hits and the remaining band's collaborations with other artists after Mercury's passing.
The new Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack functions as a new variation on Greatest Hits listing, with 22 tracks in all, many of which are live tracks never before released for purchase.

Note "Doing All Right" is credited to Smile. It's the band Roger Taylor and Brian May were part of before they put Mercury, and which reformed with the original vocalist Tim Staffell for this movie soundtrack.
But the real gems are Tracks 16-20, which form the entirety of Queen's legendary performance at Live Aid in 1985. Live Gathering was a charity event by Bob Geldorf. Band Aid's has been raised for Ethiopia, which was undergoing severe drought and starvation at the time.
In 1984, they released the single "Do They Know It's Christmas." The next year they produced Live Aid, which was held simultaneously in Philadelphia and London, and featured on each of the A-List bands on the planet at the time. According to reports from the time, nearly 40 percent of the world's population is broadcast, and by all accounts, Queen's 20-minute set stole the entire show. Having it reproduced in full here is something no Queen fan should miss.
