This album is a real classic, i like all the songs.They're partly dancy partly soft. I like especially "I'm all you need" which is a really sweet luvsong and "Touch me"(your heartbeat next to mine...) of course. It's very unfair to say she's no musician and sells sex! If you really listen to her songs on the album you'll see that most of them are lovesongs and not primarily sex orientated!Get rid of your prejudices and listen to the cd!

This debut album by one of the sexiest ladies of the 80s stands as a classic up to this day! "Touch me" is one of the most memorable dance songs of the decade past, and its sexy Europop beat still shakes up dance-floors worldwide on retro night. Other classic tracks include "Do you wanna please me" and "he's got sex". Samantha Fox fuses rock and dance, in the way that only she can! Absolutely fabulous!

I find this album the be enjoyable but a little retro. I was two years old when this came out.The songs are fun ,but the ones that sound the best for this year are: TOUCH ME, DO YA DO YA WANNA PLEASE ME, ROCKIN' THE CITY,and HE'S GOT SEX. Those songs have managed to remain sounding fresh because those are the least generic songs. ALL of her albums after this are much better than this one. Buy them all if you are a true Samantha Fox fan. SIGNED 17 YEAR OLD MUSIC FAN.

When I was watching the MTV Top 20, I saw that the #1 single on the UK charts was held by a hot blonde named Samantha Fox, with a real naughty title. After seeing the video, I thought, yup, gotta get this and mail Tipper Gore the lyrics, including the hungry moans midsong. The album wasn't out yet Stateside and after learning that she used to be a topless model, a Page 3 girl in the Sun, I felt like a reader peering at page 3 through a peephole in page 1. Touch Me sports a mix of rock guitar and synth pop, with Foxy displaying the nicer side

"I'm All You Need" is more keyboard pop than the hard-driving soft-X rocker before, and shows her nice girl side.

The imagination requires little to find out why Sam sings "Suzie, Don't Leave Me With Your Boyfriend". It's a confessional to the title girl of what happened between Sam and him last night, and they weren't going over his stamp collection. This features a nice punchy brass section and catchy rhythm throughout. However, in spilling things out and still wanting to maintain her friendship with Suze, I kind of wonder if there's a subtle hint that she wants to take the guy for herself.

"Wild Kinda Love" is another synthesizer and hard guitar dance track, and the kind of love and life she wants of living fast and feeling good like the boys. No Jane Austen books on this chick's library, for sure. She's quite the tomboy here, "I'm gonna break the rules the boys won't play by."

Then comes another standout track, the early Elvis-style rocker of "Hold On Tight", down to the guitar. There's a nod to the Stray Cats and Big Joe Turner: "We're going to rock this town, we;re going to watch it rattle and roll." Given the studded leather jacket on her album cover, she had to be a rocker, didn't she?

Call The second single, "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)" Billy Idol meets Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus", it's another tough girl singing about whether a guy can give her what she needs. Things go in intensity when the male backing singers sing "give me what I want, give me what I need"

The next two songs seem to flow into each other, as they display equal tempo and sound. "Want You To Want Me" features a steady bass and 80's keyboard synths that evoke Sheena Easton or Kim Wilde, and a nice guitar solo. The verses to "Baby I'm Lost For Words" sports early 80's new wave synths like Altered Image or The Vapours, but the guitars and mid-80's synths come roaring in on the chorus.

"Rockin' The City" is heavily pronounced punkish riffs muted with some synths, and is the last barnburner of this album. Another standout track with is at home on a party tape with Joan Jett and Led Zep should one want to jam just as hard but to a different sound.

Apart from "Suzie" or the last song, all the songs could've been singles. debut was an early taste at imported contemporary pop, which set a trend of me hearing about a group or song on MTV, then waiting a year for it come out here, realizing that the Brits sure did better music than us Yanks. Yeah, yeah, she wouldn't get an invite to play at an opera house, but this girl with street-cred image is able to inject some good-natured if not a bit of naughty in her voice. It's been awhile since I last listened to it, and I still enjoy it as much as I did back then. However, the reason I'm giving this 4 stars is due to the better production and superlative songs on her next album.

touch me by samantha fox is a very good first album. some of my favorite songs are touch me i want your body,wild kind of love, do ya do ya wanna please me,i'm all you need,and he's got sex. i really like this album.

I've waited a long time for a remaster like this. Sure it has several 12" mixes and all the b-sides, but WHY did they give us the useless Fox Hunt Mix instead of the original 12" mix of Touch Me, which has never been on CD before. Every various artist compilation and even a couple of Samantha Fox 12" compilations have always included the "blue mix", which is the b-side to the original 12" mix. The Blue mix is HORRIBLE, removing all the agression and rockin' feel of the original track. What a missed opportunity. Track list and times:

No Bad Songs,Went Gold. This Is One Of My Favorite Cds Of Samantha Fox.And One Of Her Best

Le me explain why the 3 in rating it: First, it is not a top record from the 80's if we compare it to such records from Whitney Houston, Celine Dion or Debbie Gibson and specially because Samantha Fox did not commit to music since the very beginning. This is a enjoyable rock and roll based record, with catchy and memorable melodies and a good voice by Fox. I enjoy it a lot since I am very attached to 80's music. For what is worth, Samantha's best releases are the first two. So if you like 80's pop with good melodies and a full charge of hits go and get this one! You will enjoy it!

For someone who comes from bare-modelling to singing, this album is surprisingly good. Samantha doesn't have the strongest voice, but she works it well and it is enough for her kind of music. Catchy tracks like "Rockin in the city", "I'm all u need " and "Suzie" show that the album has more than just the hits "Touch me" and "Hold on tight". Steady debut
