Most of the songs are extended mixes. Several had been previously released on 12" singles, but some are completely remade, with Smith recutting vocals due to the original tapes not being available. The record closes with the extended version of a new single, "Never Enough". The remix of "Pictures of You" was originally released under the title "(Strange Mix)". In an interview featured on the Trilogy DVD, singer Robert Smith described the remix album as something "fun after the doom and gloom of Disintegration".
The Cure also released some other new mixes as the b-sides of the singles from Mixed Up: the first single, "Never Enough", featured a remix of "Let's Go to Bed", entitled "Let's Go to Bed" (Milk Mix) (on the 12", cassette and CD versions), as well as a new song, "Harold and Joe", while the second single, "Close to Me (Remix)" contained "Just Like Heaven" (Dizzy Mix) (on all formats) and "Primary" (Red Mix) (on the 12", CD and cassette versions) as B-sides, the third single, "A Forest" (Tree Mix) contained the original version of the song and "Inbetween Days" (Shiver Mix) (only on 5-inch CD) as B-sides.

CD edition
Notes
- CD editions do not include "Why Can't I Be You?" (Extended Remix), this was due to the 74-minute (later 80-minute) limit necessary to be compliant with the Compact Disc standard.
- As the original master tapes could not be found, "A Forest" and "The Walk" are not remixes, they are re-recordings.
- Over time, the CD edition has slightly changed. At the time of release, the words "Mixed Up" at the bottom of the cover were white in a box, but have since changed to black in a box. Also, the order of text on the CD disc has slightly been rearranged. Also, the track listing on the back cover, text in the liner notes and the text on the album cover (bar the small "Mixed Up" at the bottom) were originally a metallic. Now they are grey.
2018 remastered reissue
On 21 April 2018, Mixed Up was released as a remastered deluxe edition.[6] The accompanying statement read: "Robert Smith has remastered The Cure's remix album from 1990. Now presented for the first time as double picture disc set in a gatefold sleeve with a download voucher."
A 3-disc deluxe edition of Mixed Up will be released on 15 June 2018.[7] The announcement read: "The Mixed Up 3-CD set includes Mixed Up, a second disc of rare remixes from 1981 through 1990, and a third disc of brand new remixes by Robert Smith. All the material has been remastered in 2018, or, with respect to Torn Down, mixed in 2018."
In an interview with BBC Radio 6, Robert Smith confirms that this release marks the continuation of The Cure's deluxe edition re-release campaign, and that the deluxe edition of Wish has been completed and will presumably follow.[8]

Mixed Up (рус. Перемикшированно) — альбом ремиксов британской группы The Cure. Сборник, вышедший в 1990 году, вышел во многом из-за большой популярности ремиксов и дэнс-культуры в конце 80-х — начале 90-х годов.
