You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Greatest Hits''''' is a compilation album by [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Pop music|pop]] band [[Thompson Twins]], released in [[1996 in music|1996]] on the [[Arista Records]] [[music label|label]].

It is the group's first [[Compilation album|compilation]] of [[single (music)|singles]], the [[remix]] collection ''[[The Best of Thompson Twins: Greatest Mixes|Greatest Mixes]]'' having already been released in 1988, mainly promoted by the remix "In the Name of Love '88".

''Greatest Hits'' includes all of Thompson Twins' singles from 1982 to 1987, omitting earlier minor tracks from their UK debut album, ''[[A Product of ... (Participation)]]'', and the later single "Sugar Daddy", the last mainstream hit they had in the US, taken from their unsuccessful 1989 album ''[[Big Trash]]''. Though Thompson Twins' previous album, 1987's ''[[Close to the Bone (Thompson Twins album)|Close to the Bone]]'', was also a flop,((Citation needed|date=July 2013)) both singles taken from it—"Get That Love" and "Long Goodbye"—are included here. 

Thompson Twins' first singles collection chronologically compiles songs by the band's three different lineups ([[big band]] in the early years, [[trio (music)|three-piece group]] from 1983 to 1987, and [[duo (music)|duo]] in the later years).

Thompson Twins released one more unsuccessful album after the span of time covered on this compilation. 1991's ''[[Queer (Thompson Twins album)|Queer]]'' generated two more singles: "Come Inside" and "The Saint". Though these were minor hits—and quite popular in clubs—neither would be included on the band's next greatest hits collection either: the double disc ''[[Love on Your Side – The Best of Thompson Twins]]'', issued in 2007.
