Greatest Hits II was released less than a month before the death of lead singer
Freddie Mercury and was the last Queen release of any kind while he was still alive. The album was not initially made available in the United States and was replaced with its counterpart
Classic Queen in early 1992 to capitalise on the band's renewed popularity in the country following the inclusion of "
Bohemian Rhapsody" in ''
Wayne's World. Greatest Hits II
was later made available in the US with its inclusion in two box sets, Greatest Hits I & II
in 1994, and The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III in 2002. On 19 April 2011, Hollywood Records released the newly remastered version of Greatest Hits II'' in the United States as an individual album for the first time. A companion video release entitled
Greatest Flix II was released at the same time, but is currently out of print. Most of the videos are now available on the DVD
Greatest Video Hits 2 with the exception of the videos from the 1991
Innuendo album. ==Track listing==
