Great ... but not so great When I saw TRICK OF THE NIGHT included in this 12", I was so happy! Had been looking all over for that remix for ages (I only got it in LP), I couldn't care less about the rest of the tracks. I am a die-hard fan of Bananarama (since 1984), so thrilled to see this album released.
It is overall a great album, but quite disappointed with some of the remixed tracks. I am really looking forward for The Twelve Inches of Bananarama Part II. Anyone?

Glaring Omission
What happened to I Can't Help It!!!!! This was Siobhan's final release with the group and in my humble opinion one of their best singles.
An Amazing Compilation
I was amazed by "Tripping On Your Love" George Michael's Metropolis Mix, George did really make a nice job. This is the best compilation of 12" Inches by Bananarama, finally got the chance to find on CD classic vynil dance hits like "Cruel Summer" 12"Mix, "Venus" Extended Club Mix and the powerful "Preacher Man" Shep's Club Mix. So if you love Bananarama and 80's Pop and Dance music you've got to have it!.
GREAT CD BUT WISH IT HAD MORE HITS AND ORIGINAL MIXES
BUT WHY IS JACQUIE DEAD CENTER ON THE COVER - I MEAN, SHE ONLY SANG ON ONE ALBUM. OK, THIS IS LONG OVERDUE AND I'M HAPPY WITH IT. I DON'T GET IT. SIOBAN SHOULD BE ON THE COVER.
About Time
I am so happy to see the old mixes of some of my favorites: A Trick Of the Night, More Than Pyshical. It was way overdue for this Remix CD to come out.
It would have been nice to have tracks from Please Yourself on this compilation. .
