Released several months after the Fugees became stars, Bootleg Versions is an EP of remixes from the Fugees' two albums, Blunted on Reality and The Score. None of the new mixes have the spark or fire of the originals, yet some of the reworking will be of interest to hardcore fans. By and large, however, it doesn't add any new dimensions to the Fugees' music.~Bootleg Versions Review by Leo Stanley
