REMIXES
AFTER 7 - "Heat Of The Moment" (:33)
Originally, this song was the first After 7 song released as a single. Co-written and produced by Babyface, it didn't fare as well as they would have liked, so it was re-released months later after their hits "Can't Stop" and "Ready Or Not", and this new remix version (done by Tim Lever and Mike Percy) was done. Elements of other Babyface produced songs appear in the remix, including Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel", The Boys' "Dial My Heart", and the original remix version of "Heat Of The Moment", all of which can be heard in this clip.

Rare a capella version with interesting opening music.

GARY L. - "Time (Time To Party)" (:22)
The credits on the label list Babyface as co-writer as well as one of the mixers (with Paul Scott), although by listening to the song, it doesn't sound like a typical Face track. This 1987 song came out right around the time Kenneth Edmonds became "Babyface".

This is a lenghty clip from the extended remix of the song found only on the vinyl 12" single of "Pretty Girl" and a U.K. single. The clip leads off with a breakdown of the music followed by all new ad libs over the chorus (to fade).

CAT MILLER - "Beat My Face" (:29)

OUTKAST - "Jazzy Belle" (:23)
Babyface sings the somewhat risqué background vocals on this remix.

PEBBLES - "Do Me Right" (:25)
They didn't originally have anything to do with this song, but L.A. Reid and Babyface remixed this from Pebbles' first album, and includes new backing vocals from Face.
PEBBLES - "Giving You The Benefit" (:30)
This L.A. & Babyface-produced remix clip features additional lyrics not on the standard version of the song.
SHALAMAR - "Circumstantial Evidence" (:30)
One of the three Shalamar songs L.A. and Face produced from 1987, this clip features the chorus and a somewhat humorous dialogue (from the remix).
