The Best of Matt Bianco is a compilation album by British band Matt Bianco, released in 1990 by East West Records.
The album was originally slated for 15 October release,[2] but eventually premiered a week later.[3] It consists of the band's greatest hits from their first three studio albums: Whose Side Are You On?, Matt Bianco and Indigo, and the new track and lead single "Fire in the Blood". The second single was "Wap Bam Boogie",[4] originally from Indigo and side B to the single "Don't Blame It on That Girl", which had been a club hit in its own right.
