There has been some adverse comments about these remix's - why meddle with the original 'best' version? - but hasn't Bowie himself adapted, re-worked & indeed revisited previous issued works? I thought the remix of Moonage Daydream (turning up Mick Ronson's guitar) was great! All three versions of 'John, I'm Only Dancing' are excellent.
Whilst you may not consider all four of the versions on offer here to be in the same category they all bring something different out of the original. The Jeremy Sole mix uses the original vocals over a re-recorded backing using 70's style recording techniques (2" analogue tape). The Anthony Valadez is more dance orientated whilst the other two are sparser more 'industrial'. If you like all the Station to Station album I'm sure you will love these.

I picked this up cause I'm a "MUST HAVE EVERYTHING BOWIE" kinda guy - I love the gold years track, and as a former club dj I appreciate a good danceable remix, even the odd non-danceable one..The important thing with a remix really is adding something new to the original - be it a mood, lyric reshuffle to inflic a different meaning..a beat whatever..
I find these remixes lacking in imagination..dont get me wrong, they're not bad..It's not that they're made by peeps that cant to music - they just dont hold up unless you yourself want you use them in a mix.
If you're after some new bowie stuff, and there's other material out there you dont have (IE Club Bowie) get that insteam, leave this alone..If you have averything else, yes sure...go ahead.

Brilliant. The Jeremy Sole mix he apparently jetted off to the east coast, got his musaics together and only used equipment that was made up to the time of the original recording and went for a kind of jamaican feel. Sounds like it could be a bit pompous but it's, well, great. 5 star.

For those of you who do not remember the original release you will have the chance to listen to it because it is on here.When you know that there are several mixes of the original,then I am sure that you will want to purchase.A good deal from an old master of a music artist.
