Coloured 7″ vinyl box and 2CD set 

Freddie Mercury‘s solo 45s will be celebrated in Messenger Of The Gods: The Singles, a new vinyl box set contain 13 coloured seven-inch singles.

This set kicks off with his debut solo single I Can Hear Music, released under the brilliant pseudonym Larry Lurex, and works through the dance floor-influenced solo anthems of the 1980s and up to his collaborations with legendary Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballé, including Barcelona.

This collection also includes two posthumous singles, In My Defence and Living On My Own (No More Brothers Radio Mix), the latter of which became Freddie’s first solo number one in the UK (Barcelona had peaked at number two).

As well as the 13 coloured vinyl singles, this box will include a booklet featuring photos, some of which are previously unpublished. The vinyl collection also contains download codes for 320 kbps MP3s. There will also be a two-CD version which puts A-sides on disc one and B-sides on disc two.

Messenger Of The Gods The Singles will be released on 2 September 2016 by Hollywood Records in the US and Mercury/Universal elsewhere.
