SAMANTHA FOX – Play It Again, Sam : The Fox Box [Cherry Pop 2xCD rarities & unreleased]

As requested, and to complete SAMANTHA FOX Eighties music catalog, here’s “Play It Again, Sam : The Fox Box“, a box set prepared by Cherry Red with one disc including together every single released during her successful Jive Records tenure for the very first time plus an unreleased track as bonus.
The box also includes a second CD featuring many sought-after and previously unavailable rarities from throughout Sam’s career. Always eclectic and never just a ‘model-turned-singer’, she convinced as a Rock chick one moment and a trend-setting dance diva the next. Here, her choice of collaborations ranging from legendary space rockers Hawkwind to acid house pioneer DJ Pierre sit alongside covers of favorite acts such as Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Donna Summer and ABBA. With B-sides, remixes, an updated take on ‘Touch Me’ and another exclusive track, ‘It’s You’, there is plenty to discover for die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
This is an essential package for Sam’s army of Foxy fans and all self-respecting aficionados of ’80s pop-rock culture.

Fox signed to Jive Records in 1986 and hits included the aforementioned ‘Touch Me’ which was the title track of her debut album. For her second long-player (self-titled Samantha Fox) she worked with Stock Aitken Waterman who delivered the hits with ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now’ and ‘Full Force’, who were perhaps best known for their work with Lisa Lisa.
Sam would work with both SAW and Full Force again and in the end she released four albums for Jive – all of which have already been reissued as 2-CD deluxe editions by Cherry Red and featured here at 0dayrox.

For this new box set CD 1 delivers every single released for Jive, plus an unheard track “direct from Sam’s personal archive”, ‘You’ve Got Me Believing In Make Believe’.
The second CD contains various rarities and unreleased, with plenty of seven-inch edits, plus covers of ABBA’s ‘The Winner Takes It All’, Rolling Stones’ ‘Gimme Shelter’ done with legendary UK rockers Hawkwind, and more.
