1990 greatest hits album by the Bangles
Greatest Hits is a
compilation album by American
pop rock band
the Bangles . It was released by their
record company ,
Columbia Records on May 8, 1990, to fulfill the band's contractual requirements; by the time of the release of the album, the group had already broken up. The album peaked at #97 on the US
Billboard 200 and at #4 in the
UK Albums Chart .
The album features the single
remixes of "Hero Takes a Fall", "Walking Down Your Street" and "I'll Set You Free". It also includes the group's cover of
Simon & Garfunkel 's "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.
[5] "Everything I Wanted" was released as a single in the Netherlands and Australia to promote the release. In the UK, a new remix of "Walk Like an Egyptian" was released instead, peaking at #73.
