"The Remix Collection" pulls together extended versions and remixes from ABCs first five releases ("Lexicon of Love," "Beauty Stab," "How to be a Zillionaire," "Alphabet City," and "Up") that roughly approximates their greatest hits. The tracks skew heavily towards "Lexicon..." (three tracks), "...Zillionaire" (three tracks) and "Alphabet City" (two tracks) but also includes the non-album track "Alphabet Soup." The disc includes the beats per minute (BPM) for each track and the mixes are a must have for any fan of ABC or 80s dance music. These were the mixes you heard at the clubs and if you were a club kid like me you HAVE to have them. The Frankie Knuckles Mix of "The Real Thing" far surpasses the version on "Up" as does the Garage Mix of "One Better World." The Munich Mix of "Be Near Me" and the Bond Street Mix of "How to Be a Zillionaire" were both included on the CD release of "...Zillionaire" but it's nice to have them included here. The liner notes include a nice synopsis of ABC's career up until the time of this release (1993). It's worth tracking down if you can find it!. The mix of "How To Be A Millionaire" is NOT the Bond St. Mix, but the original 12"'s Wall St. mix - and to the best of my knowledge, this comp is the ONLY CD this mix has ever been on. It should also be noted that this is the recording that, so legend has it, they took to Jam and Lewis, wanting them to produce them, only to have Jam & Lewis tell them - "What for? You don't need us."
