Advantages: Spotlight, Everybody, Into the Groove

Disadvantages: Over and Over, Physical Attraction (two of Madonna's most boring songs. Why include, producers??)

To be honest, this album is quite a cop-out for an artist who, even at this point in her career, made a point of being original and standing out from the crowd. Ignore all that garble about "going back to my roots" and "this is for the fans" - the fans are perfectly capable of buying the original tracks, rather than forking out for this very, very long album.

The songs are all joined together so you never get a chance to draw your breath - no-one can dance for that long without getting a stitch.The remixers have also murdered 'Over And Over' and 'Where's The Party' with what sounds like naff keyboard demos played over the top of them. The two redeeming features are the inclusion of a new track, 'Spotlight' which, while not brilliant, is like a slightly geeky older sister of 'Into The Groove' - all serious and full of advice but without the sexual innuendo. Also, the updated 'Everybody' makes Madonna sound a lot more dirty than when she originally sang it, and transforms a very mediocre song into a bangin' dance track. However, unless you are a Madge obsessive, download 'Spotlight' or copy it off someone else, and just buy this when it gets to below a five on eBay.

Summary: 'You Can Dance'. Yes, for a bit..
