The Greatest Hits Collection is a complilation album released by Bananarama which features their single releases and greatest hits. It was issued by London Records in 1988, shortly after the departure of group member Siobhan Fahey.

All songs are represented here in their "single" edits (or in some cases, a remix) and the version of "I Want You Back" on this collection is a new version of the song re-recorded by members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward with new vocalist Jacquie O'Sullivan. One new song,"Love, Truth and Honesty", was released as a single (which featured O'Sullivan's first credits as a song-writing contributor, as was a re-recorded remix of "Nathan Jones".
Subsequent re-issues have added on dance remixes, as well as "Help!".
