'''''Re''''' is a [[remix album]] by [[France|French]] [[pop rock]] group [[Les Rita Mitsouko]]. It was released in 1990 and includes the singles "Hip Kit" and "Don't Forget the Nite". The album is compilation of new remixes, 12" single remixes and a new re-recording.


Receiving mixed reviews the album was originally released as a Double-LP, 5x12" single, Cassette and CD in October 1990. The artwork was designed by Judith E. Christ with photography by Stephane Sednaoui. [[Catherine Ringer]] and [[Fred Chichin]] pose in clothing designed by [[Jean-Paul Gaultier]].
All the recordings were taken from the groups first three albums (''[[Rita Mitsouko (album)|Rita Mitsouko]]'' (1984), ''[[The No Comprendo]]'' (1986) and ''[[Marc and Robert|Marc & Robert]]'' (1988)). "Don't Forget the Nite" was one of duo's early singles. It was completely rerecorded for the album with producer [[Tony Visconti]]. Fat Freddy is an alias of Fred Chichin, his mixes were the genesis for the entire remix concept.
