Queen's crown jewels shine brightly, and they're a bargain in this inspiring eight-CD collection. Commemorating the operatic British band's 25th anniversary, The Crown Jewels boxes Queen's first eight albums, remastered and boasting bonus artwork, liner notes, and a reproduction of the infamous "Fat Bottomed Girls" bicycle poster. Since the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991, there's been a spate of Queen reissues and repackages, but this 90-song collection, spanning 1973's Queen to 1980's The Game, represents the crux of Queen's power and range of talent. What's best is being reminded of such great hits as the pure bombastic operatic style of "Killer Queen," the neo-rockabilly "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love," the boastful anthem "We Are the Champions," and the pop glam of "Tenement Funster." It's a colorful, engrossing trip, and the time is right for The Crown Jewels: with movies like Velvet Goldmine reminding us again of the glorious musical (and otherwise) excess of the '70s, everything old sounds new again.
