Multiple expanded U.S. and international 2LP vinyl editions of Shania Twain’s November 2004 Greatest Hits album are set for release Nov. 17 on Mercury Nashville/UMe.
The new vinyl editions mark the first time ever that the record-breaking collection of hits will appear on vinyl. With countless chart-topping anthems, Greatest Hits is a genre-defining celebration of the queen of country pop. The album was certified by Guinness World Records as the fastest-selling hits collection by a female artist in the U.S., with first-week sales of 529,000 units, sending it well on its way to achieving global sales of over 5 million units to date.
Both the U.S. and international versions of Greatest Hits have been remastered from the original tapes, and they each now contain two additional tracks, including Twain’s latest hit “Giddy Up!” and the fan-favorite “Life’s About To Get Good.”
Greatest Hits will be released in four vinyl editions. The 2LP U.S. Version is available on 180-gram black vinyl, while the three exclusive, limited-edition 2LP versions come on 180-gram baby pink vinyl, 180-gram Coke bottle clear vinyl, and 180-gram opaque blue vinyl.
An international version of Greatest Hits will also be available which boasts the international mixes of the tracks culled from November 1997’s Come On Over, featuring the more pop-oriented production style that dialed back the country instrumentation and added other musical elements such as drum loops, keyboards and synthesizer, as opposed to the North American/U.S. mixes that were buttressed by acoustic guitars, fiddles, pedal-steel guitar and electric-guitar rock riffs.
