Greatest Video Hits I
(Previously released
on VHS as 'Greatest Flix')
Released 14th October 2002.
Produced by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas
Videos restored and enhanced by David Mallet
Sleeve notes and archive commentary compiled by Greg Brooks
Whilst this is essentially a DVD reissue of 'Greatest Flix I', it adds a number of bonus videos and other material, whilst a few of the videos are slightly different. Also, all videos now have an introductory title, and end properly before the next track begins. Both discs feature an edit of 'God Save The Queen' as the menu loads.
For both discs, when you 'play all' videos, each video features an introductory black screen, with the title in the font used for the single sleeve. When you select an individual song, however, a colour screen is shown, showing the title, author, year, and single artwork.
DVD 1
All tracks are available in normal Stereo
Sound, 5.1 DTS Surround Sound or with Audio Commentary by Brian
and Roger, with archive comments by Freddie and John. Full
details of the Surround Sound mixes can be found here.
The DVD contains three 'Titles' - the second and third just relate to the title screens when an individual song is selected. The numbers below all refer to the chapter number within the first title:
All Surround Sound mixes produced by Justin Shirley
Smith, except 'Bohemian
Rhapsody' and 'You're My Best Friend',
produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Brian May, and 'Spread Your
Wings', produced by Justin Shirley Smith and
Tim Young.
The video for 'Tie
Your Mother Down' is identical to the
original, but has a slightly different ending. The videos for 'Killer Queen'
and 'We
Will Rock You', whilst similar to the
originals, are edited differently or are from a different take. 'Bicycle Race'
is a brand new video, whilst 'Fat Bottomed Girls'
contains a unique 'hybrid' edit of the album and single version.
'Spread
Your Wings' is a slight edit of the
original.
DVD 2
This DVD contains the 'missing' videos from DVD 1, and
featurettes on 'Bohemian
Rhapsody'. It also
features a 'hidden' alternate version of the track. It is divided
into the following titles:
The menu system also features information on the 'Queen Online' website.
