Greatest Hits is a 2009 compilation album by British singer Samantha Fox. It was conceived and developed by British music producer, Carl M Cox, who approached Sony Music with the idea of releasing a definitive hits collection, having discovered a number of unreleased recordings at Pete Waterman's PWL studios to include with material from Fox's first four albums with Jive Records as well as her more recent recordings from the 1990s and early 2000s. Further research by Cox and his Prolific Media Group team unearthed more unreleased recordings held within the BMG archives, some of which were released for the first time on this album. [1] [2]
