Cherry Red Records I Wanna Have Some Fun

“I Wanna Have Some Fun“, the third
album from perennial pop icon and pin-up Samantha Fox, is given a Deluxe
Edition reissue on Cherry Pop.

Originally issued in
1989, “I Wanna Have Some Fun”
features three UK hit singles, “Love House” (#32), a Stock Aitken
Waterman-produced cover of the Dusty Springfield classic “I Only Wanna Be
With You” (#16), and the title track – Samantha’s second collaboration
with Full Force, which hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her third US
Top 10 hit in two years. More danceable and eclectic than Samantha’s previous
albums, “I Wanna Have Some Fun”
also found her collaborating with a diverse selection of the world’s top
producers, from Fred Zarr, Bolland & Bolland and Detroit techno legend
Kevin Saunderson to Grammy-nominated rock luminary Chris Tsangarides.

Digitally remastered
direct from the master tapes, this Deluxe Edition brings together the original
12-track album with 21 bonus tracks across two CDs. Many sought-after and
previously unavailable mixes feature alongside Samantha’s featured appearance
on the Full Force single “All I Wanna Do…” and two unreleased tracks
recorded for the album but ultimately shelved – the Fred Zarr-produced
“Shout It Out” and Stock Aitken Waterman’s “Too Late To Say
Goodbye”, subsequently recorded by Jason Donovan for his debut album
“Ten Good Reasons”.

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, with a new album planned for 2012 and live dates across Europe.

“I Wanna Have Some Fun” coincides
with accompanying Deluxe Editions of Sam’s other three Jive albums: 1986’s
“Touch Me”, 1987’s “Samantha Fox”, 1989’s and 1991’s “Just One
Night”, and follows many other popular PWL-related reissues on Cherry Pop
from artists such as Mel & Kim, Sinitta, Hazell Dean, Sonia, Boy Krazy,
Brother Beyond, Pepsi & Shirlie and O’chi Brown.
