Kinda sad there aren't any 12" mixes on this release. Would've been a golden opportunity to get them released affordably on CD. They even include photos of the singles in the liner notes, which annoys me a fair bit. That being said, Al Capone is a killer demo that definitely makes this worth a purchase, and the Afrojack Club mix and Nero remix are pretty cool. Can do without the DJ Buddha edit though. The Pitbull rap ruins the song for me.
