Greatest Hits (titled on the back cover as Greatest Hits 87–92 and re-titled as Vintage Kylie: The Hits 88–92) is a 2002 greatest hits album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Released on 18 November 2002 by PWL, the album collects work from Minogue's PWL period, including the albums Kylie (1988), Enjoy Yourself (1989), Rhythm of Love (1990), Let's Get to It (1991) and Greatest Hits (1992).
An updated version of the compilation called Greatest Hits 87–97 was later released on 24 November 2003 by BMG and PWL, distributed by Jive, due to her release of Body Language in early 2004. The cover sleeve for the version was shot by British photographer Simon Fowler in 1990. This version of the album includes songs and remixes from Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), and also received positive reception from music critics.
Background
After the massive success of Minogue's eighth studio album Fever, BMG decided to release a greatest hits album.
The 2002 album cover used a stock photo photographed by Jasper James, which depicts a supposed look-alike dressed in her underwear. AllMusic's Johnny Loftus called it "shoddy."
Due to Minogue's release of her then-new album, Body Language, in February 2004, BMG re-released the compilation.
Critical response
Greatest Hits
Johnny Loftus from AllMusic gave the compilation two stars out of five, he felt that there's nothing in the album feels "very exclusive," with the remixes "are readily available to aficionados in other, less after-market places." He also suggested readers to the 2003 version, calling it "a much better option for the casual listener."

Chris True from AllMusic gave the compilation four stars out of five, praised it as a "valid and well-represented (yet oddly out of chronological order) anthology of what Americans were missing" between the 15-year she first received success in the United States with "Locomotion" and then with "Can't Get You Out of My Head." "For those who were surprised by her sudden reappearance, this will fill in the picture quite nicely, and for those who just couldn't get enough of Minogue upon hearing her for the first time in 2002, Greatest Hits 87-97 will surely satisfy," he stated.
