Content[edit]
The compilation contains most of Queen's hits from 1981 to 1991. The singles 'Body Language', 'Back Chat', 'Las Palabras de Amor', 'Thank God It's Christmas', 'Princes of the Universe' and 'Scandal' were omitted for this release.[8] 'Las Palabras de Amor', 'Thank God It's Christmas' and 'Princes of the Universe' were later included on Greatest Hits III.
Release[edit]
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 available in the United States and was later replaced with its counterpart Classic Queen in early 1992. Greatest Hits II was later made available in the US in two box sets: Greatest Hits I & II and The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III. On April 19, 2011, Hollywood Records released the newly remastered version of Greatest Hits II in the United States and Japan.
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.
