Singles (Alison Moyet Album)

''Singles'' is the first greatest hits album by English singer Alison Moyet, released on 22 May 1995 by Columbia Records. The album includes two previously unreleased tracks, Moyet's version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Solid Wood", as well as a number of hits from the singer's stint in 1980s synth-pop duo Yazoo.

The album was re-released the following year as a two-disc set, ''Singles/Live'', the second disc being a live recording of Moyet on tour, again in 2000 as a one-disc set under the title ''Best of The Best: Gold'' and a third time in 2001 as '' The Essential Alison Moyet'' with a slightly revised track listing.
