Long Live the Queens was released as part of Warner Bros. Records' Platinum Collection series, and thus is often referred to as such.[1] As opposed to the greatest hits-oriented The Best of Shakespear's Sister, the album is compiled of rarities and unreleased tracks & mixes, many of which making their debut on CD. "Pretty Boy", for instance, was previously only released on a promotional 12" vinyl of "Break My Heart (You Really)".[2]
