ISBN 1-904994-10-5.For The Raw & the Remix, I.R.S. compiled numerous 12-inch remixes of the band's songs, most of which were from The Raw & the Cooked, and all of which are considered dance floor friendly. [5] The 59 minute collection features "significant variations" of the original versions of the band's songs, some of which add raps, such as Monie Love's guest appearance on the second remix of " She Drives Me Crazy", which itself was by David Steele and Andy Cox of the band, and numerous "major stylistic arrangements", such as the "dub dissection" on Smith & Mighty's remix of " I'm Not the Man I Used to Be", and the " Soul II Soul stamp" on the other remix of the song by Jazzie B and Nellee Hooper. [6] Three of the band's biggest hits, "I'm Not the Man I Used to Be", "She Drives Me Crazy" and " I'm Not Satisfied", appear twice on the album in different remixes. [6] Steele went on to produce Gabrielle's 1993 album Find A Way as well as a couple of solo albums in the 2000s.
