After the exciting news that has made happy all Foxy fans, let's take a look at what's coming with Play It Again, Sam: The Fox Box is released by Cherry Pop on 27 July 2017 with the cat. reference FOXBOX001.
Here are the details from the press release:
Play It Again, Sam: The Fox Box is the long-awaited, first-ever definitive retrospective of Samantha Fox’s musical career to date. Marking three decades since this undisputed icon of the 80s first topped the world’s charts. This lavish 2CD + 2DVD box set is replete with a fold-out double-sided poster, a set of button badges and a picture-packed 32-page booklet. This is an essential package for Sam’s army of Foxy fans and all self-respecting aficionados of 80s pop culture.
The definitive Samantha Fox singles collection, CD1 brings together every single released during her phenomenally successful Jive Records tenure for the very first time. From the unforgettable 1986 smash ‘Touch Me’ to the Stock Aitken Waterman favourite ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now’ and the Full Force classic ‘Naughty Girls’, the succession of global hits which made Sam the only British female to score a hat-trick of Top 10s on both sides of the Atlantic during the 80s are all present and correct. Successes from the years since, including the dance floor favourite ‘Santa Maria’ and an irresistible cover of Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ with fellow 80s icon Sabrina, bring the story up to date. An exclusive, previously unheard bonus track, ‘You’ve Got Me Believing In Make Believe’, direct from Sam’s personal archive, rounds out the selection.
