I picked up this album while i was in the states many years ago and didnt appreciate what a Gem of and album it is,The album is a collection of remixes from his Dont be Cruel album put together and Produced by the duo of Antonio L.A Reid and Kenneth Babyface Edmonds who have had other success with acts like Usher TLC Pink OutKast and the new Ciarra record Sex and Magic . So with solid production and some beats over some great songs make this a fanastic record. So if you love your RnB and Dance records do yourself a favour and add this to your collection now Dance Ya Know it

Late '80's Nostalgia
25 Feb 2005
Format:Audio CD
The biggest reason I am writing this review is to make sure people that read this page know that this is a remix album from 1989 featuring singles from Bobby's breakout Don't Be Cruel album (released in '88) and his previous mid-'80's solo album. I don't see that mentioned anywhere. Most of the versions aren't terribly different from the originals, especially in the case of the mega-hits from Don't Be Cruel. All the tracks flow together in a continuous mix, but the edit/track points on the CD are very well placed, so you can skip around and play just one if you want to, and not feel like you're missing the beginning or ending of the song. This collection is very similar to Jody Watley's "You Wanna Dance With Me?" (from the same era) or Madonna's "You Can Dance". For a long time, this was the only Bobby Brown album where you could find "On Our Own" (from Ghostbusters II). That track, as well as "Every Little Step" and "My Prerogative" are only slightly remixed--the biggest change in structure comes from hard-edged stutters placed in the mix. "Rock Witcha" and "Roni" are stripped down a little more and, if memory serves correct, given a little more New Jack flavor. If you were into dance music at the end of the 1980's, this CD will take you back. For most casual Bobby Brown fans who already own Don't Be Cruel, this CD is pretty much unnecessary albeit a very fun listen.

Well, he is "the king of rhythm of blues"! Right?
27 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD
Between the time that he was a member of New Editon and, subsequently became "Mr. Whitney Houston," Brown was a prominent fixture on the pop music scene. This complilation of remixes of hits by the singer shows how prolific he was in his day. With the hits like "Rock Wit'cha," Don't Be Cruel," "My Prerogative," and "Every Little Step," Brown delivered some of the more memorable tunes of the late eighties/early nineties.
And for that reason, the collection fills the bill for fans of contemporary pop/R & B.
It's unfortunate that the singer's apparent self-destructive nature led to a career that was tentative, at best, in need of a major re-ignition.

Bobby Brown: The David Ruffin of the 90's
29 Dec 2001
Format:Audio CD
Bobby Brown knew how to get the crowds pumping. Hitting the charts in 1983 with New Edition was just the beginning. With hits like Candy Girl, Cool it Now, and his trade mark song Mr. Telephoneman, New Edition was put on the map. In 1985, Brown left the group for solo stardom. His first hit Girlfriend hit number one in 1986. Returning with the numberone albums Don't Be Cruel and Bobby, Brown showed he can still put on a show with out N.E. at his side. .... In 1996 Brown returned to the music scene with N.E. and his replacement, super star Johnny Gill. Brown's attitude and other members missing shows, the N.E. reunion flopped despite their album going double platinum. Brown left the group again and his next album didn't make the charts. ... Hopefully Bobby Brown will get his life straight and he can comeback either as a solo artist or even better; another New Edition album. Because N.E. is best when all six members are on board.
