Album Notes Producers include: Stock/Aitken/Waterman. GREATEST HITS COLLECTION brings together 20 tracks by the new wave/dance-pop outfit Bananarama. "Robert Deniro's Waiting," "Love in the First Degree," and the smash "Venus" are among the tracks. The reissue contains six bonus tracks not on the U.S. edition. A straightforward singles compilation, Bananarama's GREATEST HITS is a handy summary for fans and an excellent introduction for newcomers. The track selection somewhat unfairly gives short shrift to 1983's DEEP SEA SKIVING and 1984's BANANARAMA, the trio's earliest-some say best-albums, in favor of later singles that were bigger US hits ("I Heard a Rumour," "I Can't Help It"). But GREATEST HITS does the service of collecting the often-superior single mixes of these later songs rather than the longer album versions. The 15-song collection opens with Bananarama's biggest hit, 1986's "Venus," and closes with a 1988 benefit-single version of the Beatles' "Help!" The latter is the group's first track featuring Jacqui O'Sullivan, original member Siobhan Fahey's replacement. As O'Sullivan only appears on this one song, her inclusion in the album's cover photo is somewhat misleading. Over one-third of the tracks are taken from the group's then-recent album, WOW!
