Samantha Fox announces reissues of first three albums

Samantha Fox announces reissues of first three albums in stunning vinyl and picture disc formats.

Samantha Fox rose to fame as a UK glamour model before making the transition into music, where she quickly became a pop phenomenon selling over 35 million records. She remains the only British female solo artist of the 1980s to achieve three Top 10 hits on both sides of the Atlantic.

Her debut album, Touch Me (1986), catapulted her to international stardom with its title track going to No.1 in 17 countries and Top 10 around the world including the US and UK. She followed this success with Samantha Fox (1987) and I Wanna Have Some Fun (1988), both of which featured a mix of dance-pop anthems and club-ready hits that showcased her distinctive voice and charismatic presence.

Touch Me features four hit singles: the international smash Touch Me (I Want Your Body), Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me), Hold On Tight and I’m All You Need. Immediately establishing Samantha’s signature pop-rock sound, the album hit No.17 in the UK on its original release, going silver, before reaching No.24 in the US with a gold certification.

Pressed on striking black vinyl with white and pink splatters to complement the original aesthetic, this edition boasts rebuilt artwork and a newly designed inner bag featuring full lyrics. A strictly limited-edition picture disc is also available.

International Stardom

Her 1987 self-titled second album Samantha Fox boasts five hit singles: the Stock Aitken Waterman favourite Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now, the memorable Full Force collaboration Naughty Girls, I Surrender (To The Spirit of the Night), I Promise You and True Devotion.

Developing Samantha’s sound with a compelling mix of pop, rock and hip-hop stylings, the album made No.22 in the UK and No.51 in the US, gaining her a second straight gold certification.

Available on striking transparent caramel vinyl with gold and silver splatters to complement the original aesthetic, this edition boasts rebuilt artwork and a newly designed inner bag featuring full lyrics. A strictly limited-edition picture disc is also available.

Global Hits

Samantha’s third album, 1988’s I Wanna Have Some Fun, features Sam’s irresistible Stock Aitken Waterman-produced cover of Dusty Springfield’s I Only Wanna Be With You, the gold-certified, Full Force-helmed title track, and the acid-inflected club favourite Love House. Samantha’s most danceable, transatlantic and eclectic set so far, I Wanna Have Some Fun reached No.46 in the UK and No.37 in the US, giving her a third consecutive gold certification.

Presented on striking transparent red vinyl with black and yellow splatters to complement the original aesthetic, this edition boasts rebuilt artwork and a newly designed inner bag featuring full lyrics.
