Antipodean pop queen
Gina G
burst onto the scene in 1996 with the UK’s Eurovision entry,
‘Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit’.
•
An instant party classic, it actually only finished eighth in Oslo that year, but became a
platinum-certified #1 in the UK and a Grammy-nominated global smash.
•
And by the end of 1997, Gina’s debut LP, ‘Fresh!’ had spawned no less than five further hit
singles; ‘Fresh!’ features the hit singles ‘Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit’ (UK #1, US #12), ‘I
Belong to You’ (UK #6), ‘Fresh!’ (UK #6), ‘Ti Amo’ (UK #11), ‘Gimme Some Love’ (UK #25, US
#46) and ‘Every Time I Fall’ (UK #52).
•
Alongside a purple vinyl LP, 90/9 is delighted to announce a freshly remastered and
expanded deluxe edition of the album as a 2CD+DVD set.
The first major project for the
Metro
songwriting and production team, the album also boasts
credits for
Motiv8, Cutfather & Joe
and former PWL mainstays
Phil Harding
and
Ian Curnow
.
On its original release in March 1997, the album hit #12 in the UK and was certified gold.
CD1 features the original album, freshly remastered for 2024 from the original studio tapes and
updated to include the showstopping Eurovision version of ‘Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit’. Bonus tracks
include a previously unreleased ballad, ‘Waiting on Your Love’, the single mix of ‘Gimme Some Love’
and the floor-filling commercial 12' mixes of the other five singles.
Documenting the collision of mainstream pop and underground club culture in the 90s, CD2 contains an
eclectic selection of reworks, ranging from full vocal club mixes and U.S. radio remixes to cooler fare
from such luminaries as
Hysteric Ego, DJ Tonka
and
Todd Terry
, whose Acid Dub mix of ‘Every Time I
Fall’ became a bona-fide speed garage anthem under the pseudonym of
G.O.D.
‘Unlimited’. Across the
2CD set, no less than a dozen cuts were previously promo-only, vinyl-only or unreleased.
All six promo videos are released together for the first time on DVD, together with Gina’s 1996
Eurovision performance.
Each disc is housed in an individual card sleeve showcasing
David LaChapelle
’s iconic original photo
shoot, presented in a clamshell outer box, with special print finish throughout and the original 1997
artwork lovingly refreshed. The 24-page booklet includes additional photos, new sleeve notes from
Eurovision expert
Marcel Rijs
, full lyrics and an illustrated discography.
