A number of the reviewers who panned this album apparentely did so because of Samantha's other activities, such as posing topless for magazines. That stuff is irrelevant to how the album sounds. Overall, the album is a good compilation of 80s dance/pop music. Solid ear candy for children of the 80s. Even if Sam's voice isn't the greatest [but I'm not the best judge - not a vocalist myself], it doesn't matter that much because the catchy melodies and grooves are what matter to this type of music. This album is bouncy; makes for good background music while you're doing stuff around the house. Worth it.

it really include the GREATEST HITS and a medley of these greatest hits.
August 6, 2006I'm not surprised somebody gave this hoe a record deal. This `Greatest Hits' CD is absolutely awful and it jumps all over the place. Samantha Fox goes from Pop to Go-Go to Rock and to R&B- and she still can't get it right. Samantha can't carry a tune to save her life. Listening to this album was a waste of time. Skip this as if your life depends on it. Holla!
June 19, 2006 | | Great 80s pop/dance.... but what's with the bad edit? | |
Any real fans of Samantha Fox will already own these songs. But for casual fans or those just looking to add some 80s hits to their music collection, prepare for disappointment. The songs are catchy, but the first time I played this disc I was caught off-guard: the most popular U.S. single, "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" is a poorly edited version, not one that any radio stations played. I can't figure out why they'd decide to make the edits. On top of that, I can't figure out who decided that the edits actually sound good... when I heard them, I was convinced that my CD was scratched. They were THAT noticeable.
The short story: If you want "Naughty Girls", find it on another compilation.
June 13, 2006| | | Touch Sam Fox? If you insist! | |
When Samantha Fox went from Page 3 nude modelling to singing on pop records produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman, I think it would be fair to say that she had BIG THINGS in FRONT of her.
"Touch Me" is classic 80's pop - synthesized, overtly sexual and cheesier than a ball of Edam. Download it and store it in your "Classic 80s females" folder alongside Bananarama, Debbie Gibson, Martika, Sabrina, Sinita, Madonna and Belinda Carlisle.
