Back in 2022, the Platinum Collection box set was released in a strictly limited edition featuring 6 LPs on colored vinyl – an edition that has been out of print for quite some time. Thankfully, the box is now being made available again in a new version. This time on black vinyl.
Queen’s Platinum Collection box set brings together all three of the band’s iconic Greatest Hits compilations, which are still widely regarded as some of the finest – and most important – “Best Of” collections in rock history.
Greatest Hits I was originally released in 1981, Greatest Hits II followed 10 years later, and Gretatest Hits III was released in 1999.
