Well, nobody's fault, that this year's Mercury would have turned 60 years old and all like crazy begun to reissue his solo work, which some have as much in the triple variants. Initially reissued collection mixes "Great Pretender", which in my opinion much worse than the English version called "Freddie Mercury Album". Then, in the threshold of the sixtieth anniversary began work on the double compilation, under the laconic title "Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs". He came out, if not mistaken, September 5, exactly at the scheduled date. Almost all of it was on previous albums. For fans of remixes is a real holiday - Mercury lyrics are presented in various forms: from disco to the tool. Pleasant surprise on this CD released in the normal as the first singles Freddie, written under the pseudonym Larry Lurex: "Goin 'Back" and "I Can Hear Music" songs though not from the pen of Mercury, however, performed at the highest level. The first disc closes magnificent interpretation Teri Lang "Guide Me Home". Nothing but the nimble fingers and the piano. This treasure is hidden on the second disc, almost in the middle. "Love Makin 'Love" - still unreleased demo tracks, not included in the first solo album, Mercury, "Mr. Bad Guy". What makes it worse than others - it is impossible to understand, but for me, "Love Makin 'Love" was a revelation. Sleek, pompous, majestic ... What epithets not nicknamed her, she would still be great even in the demo version. Well, not without mockery. At the very end of the first of the second disc is "Let's Turn It On (Acappella)", performed a cappella. In the background you hear music, and the impression that someone has just put forward all the vocals and the music overshadowed. And for lovers of song "Your Kind Of Lover": to "LOL, SOS" is "Your Kind Of Lover (Vocal And Piano Version)".
