[edit] Miscellanea

  • In November 1991 a reworking of Minogue's album track I Guess I Like It like That was released in the form of Keep On Pumpin' It by Visionmasters & Tony King featuring Kylie Minogue. A sample of Kylie's vocals from I Guess I Like It Like That are used in the song.
  • In Australia, "If You Were with Me Now" was promoted as a double-A side with "I Guess I Like It like That", the latter becoming a popular club hit and on high rotation for several years and was available on 12-inch record. This 12-inch record is highly sought after by fans.
  • In early 1992, the same thing happened with the b-side to "Give Me Just a Little More Time". High rotation in clubs pre-release saw "Do You Dare" become popular, with many clubbers unaware it was a Minogue track.
