Their classic line-up was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) and John Deacon (bass).

Melody Maker 's Adam Sweeting stated, "I've never been the slightest bit interested in Queen's ridiculous pomposity and Freddie just makes me snigger, but I suppose songs like 'Killer Queen' are sort of catchy, while anything as preposterous as 'We Will Rock You' deserves an award if only for bad taste".

There was no universal track listing or cover art for the album, and each territory's tracks were dependent on what singles had been released there and which were successful. I Can't find any reference to to 'Y' bit Anywhere and have checked several additions of the 'hits' books in case it was a typo !

For the 1981 release, the photo was skewed, but was later presented as it was originally taken for the 2011 re-release.

Note: On the sleeve notes of the video, "We Are the Champions" is incorrectly listed after the two versions of "We Will Rock You".
