Greatest Hits (Tiffany album)

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by American former teen idol singer Tiffany. The compilation features all of her singles from her first three albums Tiffany (1987), Hold an Old Friend's Hand (1988), and New Inside (1990) except "Oh Jackie" and "New Inside". It was released on October 22, 1996, via Hip-O Records and distributed through Tiffany's former label, MCA Records. Although no new material was recorded, the track "Mr. Mambo" was included after it previously appeared exclusively as a b-side to "I Saw Him Standing There". In the United States, it was the first official new Tiffany release since New Inside as her 1993 album Dreams Never Die was not released in the country.

Content

Greatest Hits consists of 12 tracks. All singles from her self-titled debut album made the cut, including the obscure lead single "Danny", which contrary to popular belief is actually Tiffany's debut single and not her cover of Tommy James and the Shondells's "I Think We're Alone Now". All singles from her second album Hold an Old Friend's Hand are included, minus the 1989 Japan-exclusive single "Oh Jackie". New Inside includes two songs but the title track is not included on the album. The one track not previously included on an album is "Mr. Mambo", previously included as a b-side to her cover of the Beatles's "I Saw Her Standing There".

Critical reception

Greatest Hits received mixed reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave a mixed review of the compilation, saying that although it sounded dated it was fine for "anyone wanting a collection of all of her finest moments." Entertainment Weekly was a bit more positive in their review, saying that "although Tiffany’s music digressed into adult-ballad careerism, this set mainly proves how unrestrained her sonic youth sounded." Fan site Tiffany.org, run by Daniel Tobias, criticized the inclusion of "Mr. Mambo" and wished other b-sides like "Can't Stop a Heartbeat" (b-side to "All This Time") and "Ruthless" (b-side to "Hold an Old Friend's Hand") were included instead.
