Lacking

"Typically updated remixes of early eighties dance songs are a mixed lot, and this is no exception. The only remix here I really like is the Madhouse Edit of State Farm. It is CRUCIAL electro, and adds a slick funk to a song that was originally a bit on the cold side, as far as instrumentation is concerned. The remainder of these mixes add NOTHING whatsoever to the original version. That, in my opinion, makes it not particularly worthwhhile."

First of a great tradition

"Situation was B-Side single released by Yaz(oo) in the early '80s and this mix, while weak in someways by today's standards of overdubbed club thumbing and tribal traditions, is a testament to the first generation of non-computer mixes when things were done old school with tape and signal. It is a good addition to the collection, especially for those without the Live at the BBC version which this remix was based on."

Definitely one to add to your collection

"Yes, the first track is marginal, not too different. The last two tracks are pretty good. But track #2 (State Farm remix) is completely awesome--one of the most 'improved over the original' ever! It is why I'll always hold on to & cherish this hard to find single."
