Celebrating thirty years of music, Thunder will release a 28 track album entitled simply \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 on 27 September 2019 through BMG.\u00a0Featuring tracks from each of their 12 studio albums, it is the first ever collection to actually be sanctioned by the band, but also compiled by Thunder themselves. The tracks chosen for \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 shows perfectly the arc of evolution that the band has travelled over three decades, developing, challenging themselves and always moving on: without ever losing the core elements that make them special. \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 will be released in four formats: 2CD, expanded 3CD [featuring a live session recorded and streamed at the Planet Rock studio on 18 Jan 2019], 3LP and Digital. CD1 & CD2 are both closed by Thunder covers of classic songs.

Thirty years into their career, the time feels right to look back on what\u2019s been done, taking stock of some fantastic work, but keeping one eye on the horizon and what is yet to come. \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 is a comprehensive, cohesive and career-spanning collection, taking in material from every single album since the debut that propelled them onto the world stage, 1990\u2019s \u2018Backstreet Symphony\u2019 which hit number 21 in the Charts. That first salvo was followed by \u2018Laughing On Judgement Day\u2019 which hit No. 2 in 1992, and then \u2018Behind Closed Doors\u2019 which was another Top 5 hit in 1995.\u00a0 \u2018Greatest Hits\u2019 includes material taken from releases right up till 2017\u2019s \u2018Rip It Up\u2019, which hit No.3 in the Charts, and 2019\u2019s \u2018Please Remain Seated\u2019.\u00a0 In fact, the last three Thunder albums \u2013 \u2018Wonder Days\u2019, \u2018Rip It Up\u2019 and \u2018Please Remain Seated\u2019 have all enjoyed UK Top Ten status in the Album Chart.

Frontman Danny Bowes said, \u201cHaving been at it for 30 years, we now feel we have enough of a body of work behind us to do this properly. We explored and re-imagined our back catalogue with the \u2018Please Remain Seated\u2019 album, and now with \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 we\u2019ve gathered all our key tunes together. It\u2019s all killer, no filler, and we hope fans like having it all in one place.\u201d Guitarist and songwriter Luke Morley added, \u201cIt was great fun picking the tunes for this compilation, and brilliant to put all of them into one big collection.\u201d

For many bands, an album entitled \u2018The Greatest Hits\u2019 album would be a valedictory romp through past glories, for Thunder this is a collection of signposts that have taken them from where they started to where they are now. With a new studio album already under way and slated for release in late 2020, the Thunder story is far from over; if anything that rumbling is getting louder!
