I’ve counted up to 8 remixes floating around, but th Maxi CD mentioned above had 5. The 4-minute videoclip of the song was based on the album release, but the single that made it for the charts actually was a compilation of the longer remixes:
- 12″ Remix (8:06)
- 12″ Remix Dub
- Good For Your Soul Mix (8:18): additional production and remix by Arthur Baker for ABI. Rap written and performed by Skam. Programming by Mac Quayle. Mix engineer: Mark Plati at Shakedown Sound. Edits By Charlie Barbie and Vic.
- Good For Your Soul Dub (4:45)
- Around The House Mix: details as Soul mix, plus: edits by Oh Oh Omar Santana.
- Around The House Dub
The 33 1/3 vinyl version reproduced in the soundclip below specifies 3 of the mixes in yet another order:
- 12″ Remix 8:06
- Good For Your Soul Mix 8:18
- Good For Your Soul Dub 4:45
