"Goody Goody" promo CD (Lisette Melendez)

While I don't usually have any special use for promo CDs, when an interesting one pops up in bargain bins, I'm willing to give 'em a go. "Goody Goody" was released in 1993. Here's the promotional bit from the inserts:

"After burning up clubs and Top 40 radio throughout 1991 and 1992, Lisette Melendez returns with 'Goody Goody," the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album True Life. Rolling with the changing musical times, 'Goody Goody' features a variety of mixes ranging from the Greg Nice (of Nice & Smooth) cameo on the Radio Edit and Hip Hop Mix to the Roger Paulette-produced House Mix to the pop-leaning LP version."

Promotional bits aside, that provides a fairly accurate description.

While Greg Nice's rap isn't bad, the radio edits and hip hop mix are a tad boring. The LP version was actually the first to get my attention. My favourite edits, however, are probably the two final ones, which are house-leaning, particularly the House Mix Radio Edit.

Tracks:
1. Goody Goody (radio edit)
2. Goody Goody (hip hop mix)
3. Goody Goody (radio edit no rap)
4. Goody Goody (LP version)
5. Goody Goody (House Mix radio edit)
6. Goody Goody (Mantecka edit)

You can hear some version of the song here.
