Review - :
Only the most extreme {$Queen} fanatic will be able to keep track of all the different regional compilations that have been released over the years. And the list keeps on growing, as 2005 saw a new Japanese compilation, {^Jewels, Vol. 2}. By this point, just about every {$Queen} fan will have been long familiar with either the {^Greatest Hits} or {^Classic Queen} packages which, when coupled together, do a pretty fine job of covering the bases. But of course a few gems always manage to slip though the cracks. So -- does this mean that {^Jewels, Vol. 2} is the compilation that finally includes such overlooked tracks as {&"Liar,"} {&"White Queen,"} {&"Spread Your Wings,"} {&"The Hero,"} and {&"Calling All Girls"}? The answer is disappointingly no. Once more, {^Jewels, Vol. 2} is a compilation comprised mostly of the same old tracks -- {&"Now I'm Here,"} {&"Bicycle Race,"} {&"Tie Your Mother Down"} -- with really just one oddity mixed in ({&"Teo Torriatte"}). Quite a few latter-day tracks are spotlighted as well -- {&"I Want It All,"} {&"These Are the Days of Our Lives,"} {&"Hammer to Fall"} -- but these have been "compiled" before. One day, hopefully, somebody at {$Queen}'s label will put on their thinking cap, and put together a collection of tracks that have not turned up elsewhere several times already. The music here gets an A+; the lazy track list selection gets a C. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
