This is a pretty hot deal for fans of Queen...The Crown Jewels boxed set from a few years
ago for $35 plus shipping (shipping is about $6). (Just over $5 per CD). You get the 8 albums in
cardboard reproductions of the original albums, a velvet case and a mediocre book.
Basically, buy it for the albums. Note that for some reason, these albums do not include
the bonus tracks that were tacked onto the early '90s Hollywood reissues. Personally, I don't
find that much of a loss, as most of those bonus tracks were lousy modern remixes.
Anyway, if you don't already have most of these albums, this is a cheap way to get them.
(Actually, looking at the ad, it's not clear if they include the book. IMHO, that's not much
of a loss as the book just has some well-known pictures and a piss-poor essay by an MTV VJ).
Here's the link. Note that this is through an eBay "store" run by Disney, and you can just
buy the set now, you don't have to bid:
