This new playlist is a selection, mainly, of the 7” and 12” singles that Freddie Mercury held at his home, Garden Lodge in London, up until November 1991. Albums were also part of the collection, and where possible, the title track of the LP or biggest hit has been included in the playlist. The playlist will be updated bi-weekly with new tracks.
