三、专辑背景与文案解读
整场演唱会目的:提高公众对HIV、艾滋病的认知,募捐。EP小册子印有一段George Michael在温布利现场的发言原文,是这张EP的核心精神:
> “I think a lot of people, not necessarily people who have anything against gay people, are probably taking some small comfort in the fact that although Freddie died of AIDS he was publicly bisexual. It’s a very, very dangerous comfort.
> The conservative estimate for the year 2000 is that 40 million people on this planet will be infected by HIV, and if you think that those are all going to be gay people or drug addicts, then you are pretty well lining up to be one of those numbers. So please, for God’s sake and for Freddie’s sake, and for your own sakes, please be careful.”

> — George Michael, Wembley Stadium, April 1992
封底同时印有Mercury Phoenix Trust(墨丘利凤凰信托)标识,明确写清:All artist royalties and record company net profits from this compact disc will be donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust for the distribution to AIDS charities worldwide in memory of the incomparable Freddie Mercury.
> 本CD所有艺人版税以及唱片公司净利润全部捐赠给墨丘利凤凰信托,分配给全球艾滋病慈善机构,纪念无可替代的Freddie Mercury。
五、唱片内页致谢文字
> Special thanks to Roger, Brian and John for their kind invitation, and of course to Freddie, who probably saved me from life as a waiter.
> P.S. Thanks Again, Lisa.
