Mercury's two studio albums are included, along with various single edits and non-album singles, B-sides, remixes, instrumentals, collaborations, a large number of demo recordings and a set of interviews conducted by David Wigg.

Also included are two DVDs: a collection of Mercury's promotional music videos, and a documentary covering his life.

All songs written by Freddie Mercury In early prints of the Solo Collection box, the third chapter of the DVD, "Culture Shock", includes what is described in the audio commentary by the filmmakers, Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher of DoRo Productions, as a reconstruction of a Parsi initiation religious ceremony.

This segment was completely edited out from all subsequent reprints of the DVD as it was considered potentially offensive.

This edition contains Mercury's two original studio albums, as well as a third disc of selected tracks from the twelve-disc box set.
