2. crush on you (6:35)

3. we're rocking the planet (5:45)

4. touch me (5:49) (the blue mix-not the original US extended mix)

5. ain't nothing goin on but the rent (5:57)

6. def con one (4:40)

7. I'm not gonna let (6:46)

8. crash goes love (7:21)

9. jump back (7:28)

10. white lines (7:28)

11. good life (8:28)

12. you keep me hangin on (9:02) (the original album version is much better. Bad remix)"

"It is totally unacceptable that many recordings here starts abruptly missing a few seconds of the beginning of the songs like cut from the original 12" records and I don't mean that is edited to a shorter version. it sounds like at the moment of the recording process, everyone involved was drunk and totally distracted from what they were doing, like they did not care a thing about what they were doing, since they did not even check the final product before releasing it. Only 2 songs are saved from this disaster, and if it wasn't because I always liked this 2 tracks I would give -5 to 0 stars to this chaos of production. My favorite track, that I wanted so bad on CD was Jump Back by Dhar Braxton, and it misses like 20 to 30 seconds of the original beginning, like when you play a 12 vinyl and suddenly the needle jumps abruptly several seconds after the beginning of the song missing vital info, and this happens the same way in the rest of the tracks. I do have the original 12" vinyls (7 in total) so I'm sure exactly of what I'm stating here, my vinyls sounds a lot better than this ridiculous remaster. I WISH I WOULD GET MY MONEY BACK, I FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED. Great artists, great songs, great compilation, MORE THAN HORRENDOUS REMASTERED PRODUCTION. SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE JUSTICE TO THE ARTISTS THAT HAVE BEEN INSULTED HERE.
