Greatest Hits is a compilation album by English singer-songwriter David Gray, released on 12 November 2007 in the UK and a day later in the US. Greatest Hits contains songs from his first album, A Century Ends in 1993, through to his 2005 album Life in Slow Motion, and includes two new songs: the first single "You're the World to Me" and "Destroyer". In interviews, Gray has described the new single "You're the World to Me" as "joyous" and "unselfconscious",[1] and called his Greatest Hits album "a bag of happy shit".[2]
All tracks are the original album versions, except for "Be Mine", which is the single remix; "Babylon," which is a new mix; and "Shine." Due to record company issues, the original recording of "Shine" could not be used; instead, a live recording from Gray's concert DVD Live in Slow Motion is featured on the compilation.
The Japanese pressing of the CD contains two bonus tracks,[3] while Barnes & Noble released an exclusive version with a bonus disc containing two rare live covers – "One of the Birds" by Will Oldham and "Morning of My Life" by the Bee Gees (retitled "In the Morning"),[4] previously only available as a digital download from the compilation album A Thousand Miles Behind (2007).
As of November 2016, the album has sold 353,936 copies in the UK.[5]
