This mini-album (or EP) was released by RCA Records in 1984. It contains dance remixes of four tracks from Eurythmics' Touch album, by John 'Jellybean' Benitez and François Kevorkian, who were noted producers in the New York club scene. It also includes three instrumental mixes.
Annie Lennox has said in interviews that she disliked the record, as it was too much of a commercial product and was put together by RCA with little involvement from herself and Dave Stewart.[1] Despite Lennox's distance, the record can be seen as groundbreaking as it was one of the first official remix albums released. Other 1980s artists such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Michael Jackson would later follow suit and release their own remix compilations over the next decade.
