SAMANTHA FOX – Self-Titled [Cherry Red Deluxe Edition 2xCD / 20 bonus tracks]

As requested, here’s the digitally remastered and expanded 2-CD edition of 1987’s, Self-Titled second album from British bombshell SAMANTHA FOX in its Deluxe Edition reissue on Cherry Pop. ”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).
Remastered direct from the master tapes, this 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.

The gem of this release is ‘I Surrender (To The Spirit Of The Night)’ a fantastic dance rock track (that was actually the b-side to Naughty Girls way back when) which sounds a lot like Laura Bringhm’s classic ‘Self Control’. The original mix – listed as bonus – is even better.
