[edit] Overview

Released three months after the final SUPER MONKEYS' single, DANCE TRACKS VOL.1 could almost be classified as more of a remix album than an original album. Six out of the seven SUPER MONKEYS singles appear on the album, all of which have been remixed. Out of the 11 tracks on the album only three were previously unreleased. The first of those three new songs kicks off the album, "GO! GO! ~Yume no Hayasade~." Following the trend of the last three SUPER MONKEYS singles, it is a cover of the Eurobeat song "Go Go" by DJ NRG. The other two new songs, "GET MY SHININ'" and "Super Luck!" are original pop compositions.

The other members of the "SUPER MONKEYS" appear within the artwork of the album, but are not credited with any vocals. They are also not given credit for the album. This was probably due to their management company trying to capitalize off of Amuro's name who had become outrageously popular within the last few months. All seven original SUPER MONKEYS single were accredited to both Amuro and the group. Following the massive success of this album and her solo debut album, SWEET 19 BLUES (1996) on the avex trax label, their original record company released a "best of" compilation containing all original SUPER MONKEYS a-sides and b-sides entitled, ORIGINAL TRACKS VOL.1 (1996).
