Celebrating Freddie Mercury's 60th Birthday
September 5, 2006:
2 DVD Set "Lover of Life, Singer of Songs".
CD "The Very Best of Freddie Mercury".
"Freddie Mercury. A life, in his own Words", print and audio book. 
Freddie's story, told by himself.
Proud Galleries Photographic Exhibition -- 8th September to 22nd October, 
2006.
ITV and BBC Radio 2 Tributes.
And, of course, a party!
Had singer Freddie Mercury survived the fearsome onset of the HIV/Aids 
virus which overtook many of his generation, September 5 of this year 
would have seen Freddie reach the age of 60.
No doubt Freddie would have thrown an elaborate birthday party, 
something he approached with zeal every year, many of which have become 
legend: the black and white cross-dressing Munich event; the hat party 
at home at Garden Lodge.
"Freddie always loved a party," says Peter Freestone, his personal 
assistant for 12 years. "So much so, that he would often arrange one, 
and then think of an excuse for having it."
This year there will be a party: Tuesday, September 5, fans, friends, 
and family will celebrate with a birthday and special fundraising 
performance of the musical We Will Rock You. The evening's performance 
will feature guest appearances, script changes, and birthday presents, 
the presents subsequently to be auctioned in aid of The Mercury Phoenix 
Trust, the AIDS charity set up by the remaining members of
Queen and manager Jim Beach, to fight AIDS worldwide.
The party will not be the only way in which Freddie will be remembered:
September 4th Parlophone will release a CD and special edition package 
of 'The Very Best of Freddie Mercury', with simultaneous release of a 2 
DVD box set, 'Lover of Life, Singer of Songs', all of Freddie's solo 
videos and his story told by close friends.
The Official 60th Anniversary Photographic Exhibition, showcasing rare 
images of Freddie from both public and private collections, will take 
place at proud Central, 5 Buckingham Street, WC2N (
www.proud.co.uk
 ) 
from 8th September-22nd October 2006.
Publication of the print and audio book, "I'm Mr Mercury", Freddie's 
life, told in his own words.
TV and radio tribute programmes on ITV and BBC Radio 2.
And, as we approach the date of September 5, 2006, when Queen's 
legendary front man Freddie Mercury might have been contemplating his 
bus pass, herewith a few facts about the man and events in history tied 
into his birth date you may not have know (a few, from a long list 
available):
- While Freddie plugged Moet Chandon in 'Killer Queen', his favourite was
Louis Roederer Cristal.
- Freddie's favourite hobby was shopping, mainly for other people. He 
loved handing out gifts of expensive perfumes, cologne, watches and 
jewellery.
- For Freddie, the three biggest wastes of time were eating, sleeping 
and shaving. He felt you could always do something better with your time.
Freddie shares his birth date with:
- Louis V111, King of France (1187)
- Louis X1V, King of France (1638)
- Johan Christian Bach, composer (1735)
- Jesse James, American outlaw (1847)
- Raquel Welch (1940)
Events that took place on September 5:
Around the world:
- 1698, Tsar Peter 1 of Russia imposed a tax on beards.
- 1666, The Great Fire of London ended. 10,000 buildings including St 
Paul's Cathedral were destroyed. Amazingly, only 16 people died.
Technology:
- 1946, the day of Freddie's birth, the first electronic digital 
computer was put into operation. It weighed over 30 tons and occupied a 
room 30' x 50'.
In the same year as Freddie was born:
- the first electric blanket was manufactured.
- President Truman officially proclaimed the end of WW II.
- The first jukeboxes went into mass production.
And finally,
Freddie was one of the most technically accomplished singers to work in 
the pop idiom. In a list of the greatest English language singers of the 
20th century compiled by BBC Radio, Freddie was ranked No.10, in a Top 
10 which included Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Barbra Streisand, Ella 
Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole.

è arrivata anche a me, però leggendo mi pare di capire che questo cd e 
questi dvd altro non sono che una riproposizione dei contenuti già 
presenti nel box the solo collection no?

 presenti nel box the solo collection no?
Stanno facendo un sacco di misteri, ma hanno ufficialmente dichiarato
che ci saranno varie cose nuove rispetto al boxone, e che la tracklist
pubblicata da vari siti di vendita on-line e' sbagliata.
Il CD avra' anche un'edizione limitata con un secondo disco di rarita'.

 Il CD avra' anche un'edizione limitata con un secondo disco di rarita'.
speriamo davvero sia così, alla fine li avrei presi lo stesso ma se sono 
novità meglio ancora!

 novità meglio ancora!
Mah - la tracklist ufficiale del CD e' arrivata,
aspetto con ansia quella dei DVD.
Finalmente i due brani di Larry Lurex
in qualita' decente (spero) e la versione
originale di Time - peccato che invece
In My Defence sia un remix. Doveva
esserci anche  un inedito, "New York At
Last", ma e' stato escluso all'ultimo momento
per non meglio specificati "problemi".
Per il resto, nulla di nuovo per che gia' aveva
gli album originali, ma una buona occasione per
far conoscere il talento poliedrico di Freddie
a chi e' arrivato dopo.

Gnomo ha scritto "Finalmente i due brani di Larry Lurex
in qualita' decente (spero) e la versione
originale di Time".
Il "finalmente" io lo intendo come "per la prima volta" (sottinteso su CD)...mentre io ho fatto 
notare che già queste versioni ci sono nei CD del boxone.
Ora, sta solo a Gnomo (e non a Sancho Panza ;P) chiarire il significato della sua affermazione.
