Customer Reviews

Stevie Nicks timeless classic, turned into hip hit
"Stand Back" is easily one of Stevie Nicks' most recognizable and popular songs. When it was first released back in 1983, it went to #5 on the Pop Charts. Now, nearly 25 years later in 2007 the dance remix reached #2 on the Dance/Club Play Charts. This simply proves the timelessness of Stevie's voice. One thing evident when listening to these remixes is that voice, is what makes the tracks. Sure the beats are cool, but Tracy Young and others have managed to mold Stevie's voice around the tracks, using effects and other techniques. Some vocals that were buried in the original "Stand Back" single/album cut, shine here, that I personally never even knew were there. The same thing was done to a cut from Stevie's 2001 solo album "Trouble in Shangri-La," a song called "Planets of the Universe" (Which was eventually nominated for a Grammy Award). Tracy Young was involved in those remixes as well.

This is a must have for all Stevie Nicks fans, as well as fans of Dance/Club music in general. I found myself dancing around in my car listening to this CD on the way home from work tonight. Stevie Nicks' power as a vocalist and songwriter is not limited to ballads and full-fledged rock songs, as we see here---you can also DANCE TO HER!

Great For the Stevie Collector
I have to agree with other recent reviews. After 70 min of the same song with remixes that all sound a like, it gets a tad boring.
HOWEVER, if you love Stevie like myself and many others, you need this single. It's only a limited edition maxi-single, apparently they're only pressing 1000 copies so scoop it up if you can.
As for the remixes, I'm not really impressed. Radio edits should have been included or even remixes of other Stevie classics. I try not to complain much about any Stevie merchendise. So if your a Nicks fan or Dance fan, or both than jump on this cd.
*Remember, it's limited edition*

Dance Back
I must be getting old or bored with dance music. It's really hard to distinguish the difference between these 7 updated dance remixes of Stevie Nicks' Stand Back. They did try to preserve the original feel to the song without the dated electronical sound of the 80's. Instead it is the trendy electronical dance sound of the past 15 years.
There is no radio edit of 4 or 5 minutes here. The first mix clocks in at 11:26. The short version is the 3rd track "Tracy Takes Me Home Mixshadow" mix-6:53. My favorite would have to be the 5th track "Ralphi's Beefy Retro Mix" -7:30. It's clear, direct and a little retro.
This coincides with the release of Crystal Vison:The Best Of Stevie Nicks collection which includes the original version. After 70 minutes of remixes of the same song. I am tired...lol!
