Weighing in at 14 tracks, Greatest Hits is a good, basic collection of the Bangles' biggest singles, containing all the hits from the masters of irresistible pop singles.
The album was released by their record company, Columbia Records on May 8, 1990, to fulfil the band's contractual requirements. By the time of the release of the album, the group had already broken up. The album peaked at No. 97 on the Billboard Album chart, and at No. 4 in the U.K.
The Greatest Hits album features the single remixes of "Hero Takes a Fall", "Walking Down Your Street" and "I'll Set You Free". It also included the group's cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter", which was released on the soundtrack of the film Less Than Zero, and had not been included on a Bangles album. It also contains the non-album B-side cover of the Grass Roots' "Where Were You When I Needed You" and the previously unreleased song "Everything I Wanted" from the Everything album sessions. "Everything I Wanted" was released as a single around Europe and Australia to promote the release. In the U.K., a new remix of "Walk Like An Egyptian" was released instead, peaking at No. 73.
This recording has been mastered by the K2 HD format of 24-bit 100kHz, creating superior sound. This K2 HD CD will play on all CD players.
