- OMGAH!!!I love this maxi! One of Janet's finest. My personal favorites:
Runaway-Junior's Factory Mix (9:06)-One of Junior's best mixes, very islandy and awesome.
Runaway-Junior's Unplugged Mix (3:30)-Similar to the album version, but with more guitar, and it seems a little off compared to some of Junyah's later remixes.
When I Think of You-Extended Morales House Mix '95 (7:41)-GO DAVID MORALES!!! Very housy and piano-driven. It makes me think of a college, for some odd reason.
The other 2 songs, the album version of "Runaway" and the "Heller & Farley Project Mix", are great, but they could've had a little more.
l8r!

- Better than some people might lead you to believeThis is a great CD, no matter what the others say.
1. Original Version (3:34, 10/10): Just what it says.
2. Junior's Factory Mix (9:06, 10/10): Nice! Why do I think of an island resort when I hear this?
3. When I Think of You-Extended Morales House Mix '95 (7:41, 11/10): GORGEOUS!!! I adore this spectacular update. Very nice.
4. WITOY-Heller & Farley Project Mix (9.9/10, 10:41): Wow, almost 11 minutes! This is a dark-house take on the song. I don't hate it, but I'm not crazy about it, either.
5. Junior's Unplugged Mix (11/10, 3:30): Lovin' it! Nice, laid-back, guitary take on "Runaway". This is the best "Runaway" remix on here.
A very impressive EP, but why is it out of print already? I was planning on buying it from here, but it went out of print, and now the only place I can find it is Yahoo! Shopping! :(

- A Classic All-Time Single!Wanna be in a genuinely good mood?Janet's "Runaway" will get your there in a hurry.With it's uptempo elegance blending synthesized world music effects and exotic melodies with Janet's lilting lyrics the song encompasses alot but says what it has to say simply and easily.And the remixes that come with it actually give it a consistant effect-each one is very housy,one leans toward hip-hop and the other is funk oriented.Good way to keep from the nice but redundant "Design Of A Decade" CD.This is my favorite song from this particular years!

- Worth It...I bought this CD-single when it came out in the fall of 1995, because I loved (and still love) "Runaway". Of course the original is the first track. The first remix (track #2), is an explosive house version with lots of build-ups, echoes, and a driving beat. Track #3 - the Dave Morales remix of "When I Think Of You", is really nice - and way better than the second one which is more low-key, but still good. Then we get a funky, acoustic guitar-laden finale with a final version of "Runaway". What makes this probably one of Janet's best maxi-singles is that it is very lengthy. It's almost a 1/2 hour by itself, with five songs, three of them being at least 7 minutes long. Worth it, worth it, worth it. I must mention that I also own a casette maxi-single of "Runaway" which has four different remixes; three with Coolio, and this really great 'Old School R&B Remix' that was done by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I actually think the 'Old School R&B Remix' is better than the original - think Groove Theory's "Tell Me" to get a comparison. I highly recommend checking out the aforementioned cassette maxi-single as well. Anyhow, as Janet would say, "Get the point? Good... let's dance!" This CD is worth the dough...definitely.

- 1995 was a good year!I love the song Runaway. It brings back good memories. I remember when the video came out when I was 7. She was traveling all over the world with that thing on her nose. I'll never forget how I show that to my mom and she was like OMG! Janet looks so beautiful in the video. She has nice teeth. I love the remixes. I like the Junior Factory remix. When I Think Of You is also my favorite and it also had good memories.
