Remixed features five alternate versions of some of John's most popular songs. Both edited and extended versions of "Are You Ready for Love" (originally from 1979's The Thom Bell Sessions) are included.[2] The version of "Candle in the Wind" included consists only of the guitar and vocals from the original track.[2] "Rocket Man '03" comes from a promotional 12" single and is also known as the "Hani Mix".[2] The remix of "Song for Guy" dates back to the CD single for "The Last Song" (1992).[2][3]
Reception
Reviewing the EP for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer declared the acoustic mix of "Candle in the Wind" to be the "centerpiece" of the release, saying the stripped-back approach "creates a thoroughly fresh listening experience, capturing a purity of spirit and organic quality that the original arrangement either lacked or, at the very least, was obscured by the other more pervasive instrumentation."[2]
