Definitely the Universal Love remix of Space. Also for me: the Glam Slam extended version and Little Red Corvette.

Though I do like the Universal Love mix, I think the acoustic mix of Space is the best of the bunch.

the super long version of ILL DIE 4 U..

I think I'll nominate the extended version of Raspberry Beret.

Little Red Corvette Dance Mix. It's better than the original. I don't even playthe original anymore, I just play the Mix.

All the 1980s remixes are better than the originals. However, very few of the 1990s remixes are better than the originals because on most of those remixes, he made them sound shit hop.

Hot With U - minus the Eve "rap" If u have the ways and means - edit this from the song and u'll appreciate it more!!

Space (Universal Love Mix)

Love Sign (Shock G's Mix)

Gett Off (Voilet The Organ Grinder MIx)

Not necessarily remixes, but i consider the longer versions of:

Alphabet Street (the album version)
Thieves in the Temple ('put your foot on a rock')
Mountains (the 10 minutes version).

Better then the shorter versions.

often the 80's had longer versions with slight remixing or re-mastering (like Mountains)

Youre right about Mountains ufoclub, that 10 minute version had a different (harder) drumbeat.

Hypermix version of Come On. Better than the original, in my opinion.

I Wish U Heaven remix is incredible and much better than the original. "Take this beat I don't mind, I get plenty others and their so fine." It's also where he introduces the Blue Angel.

Housequake remix is alot different but equally good. Jazzy-Funk at its best.

Let's Work remix takes the extends the ultimate P bassline.

I agree with the Space (universal love mix)

I really like the ext. version of She's always in my Hair and Adore (were hes mostly talking)

So Dark (from the Crystal Ball set)

I love both versions, but the Crystal Ball version gives the song that extra kick!

Most Beautiful Girl In The World (mustang mix). His lead vocals are much more raw & his harmonic arrangements & backing licks are just mindblowing!!!

& as a rule of thumb, all the longer versions of the tracks that remain true to the originals are always better coz u get the extra lyrics & instrumental jams.
