The Cactus Revisited is a remix extended play by American Queens-based hip hop trio 3rd Bass. It was released on September 7, 1990 via Def Jam Recordings. Out of a total seven tracks, the album consists of six remixed songs from The Cactus Album and one unreleased song. The remixing was provided by 3rd Bass themselves, Dave Dorrell, Marley Marl, Prince Paul, CJ Mackintosh, and Sam Sever of Downtown Science. It received both lackluster commercial and critical reception and is considered to be a patchy diversion, according to Dean Carlson of AllMusic.
Tracks 1 & 7 are new remixes not released elsewhere. Track 2 was released on a 1990 UK 12" as "The Cactus (Egyptian Mix)", where it was followed by a brief coda with someone badly singing the lyric "Walk Like an Egyptian". Track 3 was released in 1989 as "Wordz of Wizdom (II)" on CD editions of The Cactus Album and as "Wordz of Wizdom (Death in the Afternoon)" on the original 12" of "The Gas Face". Tracks 4 and 6 were released on the 1990 "Product of the Environment" 12" & cassette maxi-single, where the latter track was titled "Product of the Environment (Project Remix)".
