Here's some news fit for Page Three: '80s pop tart Samantha Fox is expanding her first four albums on Cherry Pop Records this summer.
Touch Me (1986), Samantha Fox (1987), I Wanna Have Some Fun (1989) and Just One Night (1991) have all been digitally remastered and will be presented as double-disc sets featuring not only a heap of dance mixes, but a generous amount of rare and unreleased material from the vaults.
Fox gained immediate notoriety in 1983 when she became U.K. tabloid The Sun's youngest Page Three model at the tender age of 16. (Fox's parents gave written consent for their daughter to pose topless, shocking the more conservative side of British culture.) Music was her first love, though; two years before, she formed her own band, S.F.X., and released a handful of singles on the Lamborghini label.
Several of those tracks are included on the expansion of Touch Me - among their first "official" releases on a Fox album. Hits including "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)," "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)," "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" abound in various configurations on the sets, along with several vaulted tracks from Fox's many collaborations with the production teams Stock Aitken Waterman and Full Force.
All four sets will be out in the U.K. on June 25, and you can order and preview them after the jump.

Her albums don't get a lot of spin at my house anymore, but I do like some of it still. Enough so that these abundant deluxe editions are actually kind of intriguing. Wow... this is how you expand and re-issue an album! 🙂
Tom says
Wounded Bird Records reissued the first three albums with bonus tracks in 2009. They did a good job with them. But these reissues will be more complete. The first three albums hold up surprisingly well. Sam Fox had a gift for making fun pop singles.
The Thorn says
I quite enjoy the second and third albums. But, mostly, the second one. Thanks for the tip re: Wounded Bird. I will compare the two 🙂
