"I Love the Song "Rain" it is my favorite song Madonna has ever released and this Ep is incrediable.
1)"Rain" (Radio Remix): An okay version of the ballad, but to me, it takes power away from this gorgous song.
2)Waiting (Remix): a nice little additive to the U.S. Single and this Ep. It has a more hip hop/Kinky feel to it, than the orginal. I, however, like the Album Version the best.
3)"Up Down Suite": Included on every single of "Rain", Madonna must like this one. This is a 12 Min. Dub of the song "Goodbye to Innocence", which appeared on the abortion/womens right to choose compilation "Just Say Roe". But I'd Go for the orginal, it is much better!
4)"Rain" (Album Version): The orginal and best version!
5)"Bad Girl" (Extended Remix): I love this mix. I wish this version would have been the album version, because it is so wonderful. It is basically an extended version of the orginal, but Oh So Awesome!
6)"Fever" (Extended 12"): Not that great. Nothing more than the extended Version of the Orginal (that appeared on the album Erotica)
7)"Fever" (Sheps Remedy Dub): decent, but not awesome.
8)"Fever" (Murk Boys Miami Dub): A Dub Version of the Murk boys Miami Mix.
9)"Fever" (Oscar G's Dope Mix): The only place you can find this Truly "Dope" Mix. This version is quite horriable, it is not really a mix, as much as it is a Dub. I'd give it 1/5 Stars.
10) "Rain" (Video Edit): an Edit of the orginal. Just like the one that is used in the Video for "Rain""
Perfection can't be rated

"Ever since I heard this song I loved it. This particular releases is an absolutely must-have for any and all true Madonna fans. Not only do you get 3 versions of Rain, but Bad Girl, Waiting, Up Down Suite and Fever gets thrown in for good measure. Remix-wise Rain gets a somewhat uplifting face-lift versus the more heavier album version. I did expect a little more remixes of this song but why tamper with perfection?
Bad Girl is basically just a extended version as the title states, but if you're a fan of the song and the album version which clocks in just under 6 minutes didn't satisfy you-this is the mix for you. Fever on the other hand has some funky mixes and if you haven't got the Fever CD single, this is a great way of getting an all-in-one package.
In all a great disc and absolutely value for your money."
