Summary: Junior's Remixes
Comment: You can find Junior Vasquez's remixes on this CD and they are fabulous. The only time Madonna has ever performed this song live was at the Brit Awards in 1996 and she used Junior's version.
This Cd also included the full length Orbital mix, the edit of which was used for an interlude on 2004's "Re-Invention Tour".

Summary: MADONNA'S DREAMLAND
Comment: one of her most underrated but fantastic albums in the 90's, bedtimes stories has always been ahead of her time. after 13 years of release, madonna's "bedtime stories" still feels fresh, shiny and new.
the remixes enhanced the dreaminess of this madonna single.
1. Bedtime Story (Album Edit) - th edited version is also a good single version of the album version;
2. Bedtime Story (Junior's Wet Dream Mix) - this 8-minute journey is one of junior vasquez' best work, alongside the dub version
3. Bedtime Story (Junior's Dreamy Drum Dub) - continue the dream journey with this superb 9-minute dub remix
4. Survival (Album Version) - also one of the best tracks in the madonna album, although this sweet ballad seemed out of place in the single
5. Bedtime Story (Orbital Mix) - another supermix by orbital. this is actually my favorite remix in the cd-single. this was also the version madonna used in her break during the 2004 reinvention tour.
6. Bedtime Story (Junior's Sound Factory Mix) - a wilder, nightmarish version of the song! good version with a different twist. junior tweaks more gadgets to bring out the song's hidden power of dreams.
7. Bedtime Story (Junior's Single Mix) - superb short version, but noticably stripped down. a good single remix of the song.
buy it: if you wanna complete the journey with madonna in this dreamy song and remix single from 1994's betime stories
avoid it: if you can...

Summary: To the kid who wrote a review on Aug. 10, 2005
Comment: The Orbital remix was NOT done by William Orbit. It was done by a techno duo that goes by the same name.
Tracklisting:
1. Album Edit (4:09, 10/10): Video version.
2. Junior's Wet Dream Mix (8:36, 10/10): GORGEOUS! It's a shame Junior got so bitchy at Madonna for not showing up at one of his gigs (and making one of the cattiest songs ever, "When Madonna Calls"), because this was, really, the best remix collab they did together (besides "Secret", of course).
3. Dreamy Drum Dub (9:34, 10/10): Great! Nice drums!
4. Orbital Mix (7:44, 11/10): Nice! Lovely techno.
5. Junior's Sound Factory Mix (9:18, 11/10): The second mix to get an 11/10 from me, this is delightfully twisted and clubby! LOVE IT!
6. Junior's Single Mix (4:53, 10/10): Edit of the Wet Dream Mix. Full mix is better.

Summary: Junior Jubilee
Comment: This is an amzing single, but the best by far is the one that almost everyone overlooks, the Sound Factory Mix. Its melody befits the cover. Whose hand is that, anyway, Madonna's or a child's??? My point is that the Sound Factory Mix is worth checking out. (time-9:18)

Summary: A truly classic club track!
Comment: This is a must-own single for every Madonna fan or collector, and anyone that loves music from the mid-1990s. "Bedtime Story" was one of the biggest dance hits of 1995, and one of the biggest club singles of Madonna's career. "Bedtime Story" ranked as the #3 track of the year on the 1995 year-end Billboard Dance/Club chart.
There are four standout tracks on this CD single:
Track 1 - Album Edit
The "Bedtime Story" video was groundbreaking, the most expensive video ever made up to that time. This is the version of the song used in the video
Track 2 - Junior's Wet Dream Mix
This mix, by Junior Vasquez, is the definitive club mix that was most often played in U.S. clubs back in 1995. It is hands down, one of the best mixes of Junior's long, illustrious, career. It stays with the original style and flavor of the track but brings the energy up just enough to make it a peak-hour anthem. Madonna and Junior had a falling out shortly after this single, which is too bad, because this was the last really great collaboration they did together.
Track 5 - Orbital Mix
This is a more Euro-flavored, techno type remix of "Bedtime Story". A distinctively different flavor from Junior's mix but equally as impressive. (FYI: during Madonna's "Re-Invention Tour" in 2004, this was the mix that was played during the final video sequence when Madonna was dressed all in white.)
Track 7 - Junior's Single Mix
This is the radio edit of "Junior's Wet Dream Mix".
"Bedtime Story" stands out as a good purchase for anyone that's a fan of club music from the '90s. Among Madonna's singles, this stands out as one of her best.
