  The Solo Collection, es un Box set lanzado en el año 2000 que recopila toda la carrera en solitario de Freddie Mercury, incluyendo sus discos solistas, colaboraciones y todo tipo de rarezas, incluyendo entrevistas y su obra previa a Queen, cuando se daba en llamar Larry Lurex. Esta compilación supuso la puesta en el mercado de una colección definitiva en lo relacionado con la obra en vida y póstuma de su autor, fuera de Queen.
  Incluye 10 CD que repasan toda su obra musical de estudio, además de rarezas; además de 2 DVD, los cuales agrupan todos sus videocplis y su biografía en un documental. Por otro lado, presenta un extenso libro (en inglés) de información con fotos, artículos y la letra de todas las canciones que conforman la caja.
