Amanda '98 - Follow Me Back In My Arms is a compilation album by French singer Amanda Lear released in Germany in 1998, and a re-issue of Italian Dig It Int'l CD "Back In Your Arms" with an alternate tracklisting. German BMG-Ariola chose to replace most of the 90s reworkings of Lear's hits with the originals as well as adding key tracks from her Ariola albums with producer Anthony Monn.
The BMG-Ariola compilation spun off two new single releases; "Blood And Honey '98", originally from 1977 debut "I Am A Photograph", and "I'll Miss You (Love Version)" from 1995's "Alter Ego", her latest full-length album at the time.
