It's a slidy-out plastic tray with a cardboard sleeve. There are no actual inserts.

Just BELIEVE it!!`

"I know that if you go to dance clubs, you have heard every version of "Believe" about 7,000 times and they just keep playing it. There happens to be a reason why....this song is AWESOME. This single contains just about every remix their is and they are all superb. My personal favorite is the Xenomania Mad Tim and The Mekon Club Mix, followed closely by the Almighty Definitive Mix. Each remix has a deferent feel and interpretation of the songs. This is one of the best maxi-singles out there."
This is da bomb

"I really, really enjoy this CD. It's good for listening with headphones or putting on Surround Sound and dancing to it. My favorite mixes are the Album Version, Almighty Definitive Mix, Phat 'N' Phunky Mix, Xenomania.........mix. By the way: Amazon says that there is 1 song. This is partially true. Believe is a CD single with only 1 SONG, Believe, but 10 TRACKS. 10 mixes of Believe. This is a GREAT uptempo CD. I'd really suggest to buy it."
Absolutely Fantastic Remixes.

"Believe is the best-selling single by a female artist. Pop this CD with the original version on and fantastic remixes and you'll see why!
01- Believe: Album Version [03:59]- This is the original version we all know and love.
02- Believe: Phat 'N' Phunky Club Mix [07:42]- This is a great club mix! Even my nanna likes it! :) Now that's really saying something!
03- Believe: Club 69 Phunk Club Mix [08:44]- This one is my second favourite. It's a fantastic remix, and much better than most other Peter Rauhofer remixes out there.
04- Believe: Almighty Definitive Mix [07:35]- My favourite!! This is by far the most popular mix here, and deservedly so. Cher used this one on the Do You Believe 1999 tour!
05- Believe: Xenomania Mad Tim And The Mekon Club Mix [09:15]- After hearing the Xenomania mix on the UK Import CD, I though this would be rather laid-back (as the one on there is). It's not! It's a lovely club mix, even if I do prefer the 4:20 version.
06- Believe: Club 69 Future Anthem Mix [09:23]- This one has more of a rave feel to it. I'm not a fan of rave, though this mix works rather well. It's another mix by Peter Rauhofer, but isn't as good as the #3 mix!
07- Believe: Grips Heartbroken Mix [09:12]- This one is somewhat weird and trancy, but fabulous nevertheless.
The other remixes are bonus dubs of the Club 69 remixes (both of them), and the Phat 'N' Phunky one. Believe is fabulous and funky. One of the best pop records of all-time from the most brilliant diva!
Also recommended: Believe, the album!
P.S.---to the reviewer who put SAD, SAD, SAD!!!, what's up with the fact that you submitted five of the same reviews!?"
Brilliant!

"These are rather brilliant remixes of Cher's hit single Believe! I never really care much for remixes, but these are just lovely (most of the remixes on here anyway). This Maxi Single is one of the best I own, and it includes 9 remixes backed with the original album version, from the album with the same name.
The first version is the original. Not much to say about this because everyone knows it and has heard it! The Phat'n'Phunky Club Mix is a great mix, it has a wonderful thumping beat! The Club 69 Phunk Club Mix is not the best remix on the Maxi, but still makes its move. The next two remixes are just the best! The Almighty Remix is a definately fan favourite but my favourite mix is produced by Xenomania. They provide an excellent 9 minute club mix with Cher's full vocals and a brilliant intro. The Club 69 Future Anthem Mix is much better than the Phunk mixes, more my type! The Grips Heartbroken Mix is another excellent mix, and the other three mixes are dubs by Club 69 and Phat'n'Phunky. They flow nice like most dubs do!
Overall, I'd reccommend this fantastic Maxi Single to anyone who loves Cher or was a big fan of this hit. Also buy the album Believe."
Cher's Disco Anthems...

"Cher's ''Believe'' is one of the most potent and spellbinding dance tracks ever to be released. I remember when this song first came out, I couldn't get enough of it, I used to play it sooo much that I literally drove my mother mad with the song...(Laughs). I can't get over how different it sounds compared to her previous work, a completely dance vamped track, which lures any music listener.The first track, [Album version] which was inspired by the ''Metro'' team. Is still the best version of ''Believe'' even though there are mixes included here that adorn this track. (Peter Rauhofer's) Club 69 Future Anthem Mix- is without doubt the best remix here, it sounds completely different to his general brooding work- I've heard allot of Rauhofer's work mostly through Madonna. But this one is the most incredible remix I've heard in a long time, this track/mix sounds like it was recorded 20 years ahead of time, its so unique in its most dominating form, it manipulates her vocals in such a well-mannered way. Absolutely timeless!Phat 'N' Phunky Club Mix, is my second favorite. A extremely thickset mix, this is categorically only for hardcore ravers of House/Club music, This is the most dramatic remix I've ever heard of Cher's, her vocals sound almost enduring and vocoded in some parts of the song, which sounds almost creepy and good enough to keep your finger at the repeat button.Almighty Definitive Mix, has got to be the most popular cut from this EP (in exception for the Album Version), I heard this mix being played on several different radio stations. MTV Music Television even used this remix as the logo for the -60 Minute, Live Dance Competition Show...I forgot what that MTV show was called :'( but this mix sticks in my head as the logo theme song!.Grips Heartbroken Mix, very dramatic (perhaps too over-the-top), Cher's vocals have been twisted and soar through some very high-pitched moments. This Mix sounds more like a sloppy & bland ''BT'' mix.Xenomania Mad Tim And The Mekon Club Mix, is the mix I dislike the most from this EP. The other mixes (even the dubs) clearly outshine this peculiar Mix.Ok, the review is getting too long...lol...The other mixes are also excellent, essentially they all sound very similar, even though there were more than 8 DJ/Producers along for this project, you can notice that their production value was done amongst all of them together. This is a must have for anyone who loves good- Remixes...- Recommended for Cher Fans and Madonna Fans."
