Track #3 - the Dave Morales remix of "When I Think Of You", is really nice - and way better than the second one which is more low-key, but still good. Then we get a funky, acoustic guitar-laden finale with a final version of "Runaway".

What makes this probably one of Janet's best maxi-singles is that it is very lengthy. It's almost a 1/2 hour by itself, with five songs, three of them being at least 7 minutes long. Worth it, worth it, worth it.

I must mention that I also own a casette maxi-single of "Runaway" which has four different remixes; three with Coolio, and this really great 'Old School R&B Remix' that was done by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I actually think the 'Old School R&B Remix' is better than the original - think Groove Theory's "Tell Me" to get a comparison. I highly recommend checking out the aforementioned cassette maxi-single as well.

Anyhow, as Janet would say, "Get the point? Good... let's dance!"

This CD is worth the dough...definitely.

It was a big hit when released during 1995 but this 5-track, mini EP now is lame. The remixes are tired cliches and the production work is pedestrian by contempoarary standards. The fact that used CDs sell for less than a dollar clearly indicates what the general public thinks of this old release.

If you are a Janet fan and don't own this, perhaps it is worth seventy-five cents. But, I seriously doubt that you will play this more than twice. Yeah, I know, it's Janet Jackson with tracks produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with additional remixing by David Morales. But, I still am not impressed and remain unenthusiastic.
