The Solo Collection es un box set lanzado en el año 2000. Recopila toda la carrera en solitario de Freddie Mercury, incluyendo sus discos solistas, colaboraciones y todo tipo de rarezas, como entrevistas y su obra previa a Queen. También incluye el sencillo publicado bajo el nombre de 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 diez CDs que repasan toda su obra musical de estudio, además de rarezas; dos DVDs, los cuales agrupan todos sus videoclips 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.
