Greatest Hits is a collection of Robyn Hitchcock material from the A&M period 1988-1992 (which spanned the albums "Globe of Frogs", "Queen Elvis", "Perspex Island", & "Respect").

The collection also includes various hard-to-find B-Sides, which acted as a strong selling point for Hitchcock's fans, including "Legalized Murder", "Ruling Class", "Dark Green Energy" and "Bright Fresh Flower". In addition, a couple of choice covers are included in the shape of Bryan Ferry's "More Than This" and a live take of The Byrds' "Eight Miles High".

It was released as part of A&M's Backlot Digital Remasters Series on September 9, 1996.
