Cherry Red Records Samantha Fox: Samantha Fox Deluxe Edition

Developing Samantha’s pop-rock sound and broadening her appeal, “Samantha Fox” features five UK hit singles, the irresistible Stock Aitken Waterman classic ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now’ (#8), ‘I Surrender (To The Spirit Of The Night)’ (#25), ‘I Promise You (Get Ready)’, ‘True Devotion’ and ‘Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)’ (#31) – Samantha’s first collaboration with Full Force, which reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her most successful single Stateside.
Digitally remastered direct from the master tapes, this Deluxe Edition brings together the original 10-track album with 20 bonus tracks across two CDs. Sought- after B-sides and many 12″ mixes originally only issued on vinyl feature alongside two unheard tracks, ‘The Right Stuff’ and ‘Hot Tonight’, which was later reworked as ‘Hot For You’ on Samantha’s 1989 album “I Wanna Have Some Fun”. Also featured are unheard mixes of ‘I Surrender (To The Spirit Of The Night)’ and Samantha’s cover of the Stones’ classic ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, which was initially considered for release as a sixth single from the album in mid-1988.
Compiled with personal input from Samantha herself, the extensive booklet also features many additional photos, a fully illustrated discography and recording data, full lyrics and new sleeve notes written especially for this release.
The only British female artist to score three Top Ten hits on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1980s, Samantha Fox made her name as the nation’s favourite Page Three girl before launching an enviable music career. The anthemic ‘Touch Me (I Want Your Body)’ became a global chart-topper in 1986 and was followed by a succession of hits, including several collaborations with both the legendary Stock Aitken Waterman and US hip- hop pioneers Full Force. Samantha remains a household name to this day…
