    The music is great, the pressing is good. No issues with any skips on my copy, but there are a couple of random pops. Many of the songs sound vivid and alive, but a few seem a bit flat. My copy plays nice and clean, with the aforementioned imperfections. But vinyl isn't perfect, and this is a great collection of tunes.

      Honestly, this is a terrible pressing. There are pops, clicks & poor sound stage on all four sides. Side four is off center. I cleaned it them with an ultrasonic cleaner & then the Record Doctor X but still one of the worst pressings I've purchased new. Ironically, both of Queen's Greatest Hits have been a complete disappointment on vinyl.

        Can't find what copy of this I own...

        -Purchased in 2023
        -Hollywood Records logo on back upper right
        -Front hype sticker on bottom right corner reads "ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST-SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!"
        -Shrink wrap has "Made In Canada."
        -Matrix has etching "MILES ABBEY ROAD ½ SPEED. ROOM 30." ONLY, no other etchings at all...

        Odd....

          Don't know if this is my copy, but the first vinyl is really thick. The second vinyl is
          normal.

            No physical issues with my copy (ticks or pops) but I must say it sounds quite flat.

            I don't feel there's much dynamic range, nothing really sparkles. Take a song like The Miracle for example, it should sound exciting but here it just plods along.

            Was this a brickwalled remaster job?

              A great collection on a very good sounding pressing. Worth having in my collection.

                Opened it - gave it a thorough spin cleaning - let it dry for an hour - pipped it on the ATLP7 w/ AT540ML and it sounds great. Using a 1978 Mitsubishi micro components system. Don’t be afraid of the negative reviews.

                  i picked up a copy about a year ago brand new, took it home opened and it was missing a vinyl when i received a new one the sound quality was just horrible with so much background sound cracks and pops in every single track very disappointing.

                    Picked up a copy today, and these sound nice, quiet, with no issues at all. Maybe they fixed the issues on the initial pressings?? Otherwise, don't be afraid to buy as this is a nice set.

                      I feel like disc 2 (sides C & D) is a worse press as the label was really poorly placed and after brushing and cleaning still has noise, but disc 1 was good.
