Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the English synth-pop band The Human League, released on 31 October 1988 by Virgin Records. It contains 13 singles released by the band, spanning from their debut single (1978's " Being Boiled") to their most recent album at the time (1986's Crash), as well as lead singer Philip Oakey's collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, " Together in Electric Dreams" (1984). The album reached No. 3 in the UK.
On 30 October 1995, to cash in on the band's renewed success at that time, Virgin released an updated Greatest Hits with a new cover and three post-1988 tracks added: " Tell Me When" (from the 1995 Octopus album), " Stay with Me Tonight" (a brand new track, later released as a single) and a new remix of " Don't You Want Me" by German group Snap!.
