We'll see once the tracklisting is out, but it doesn't sound all that different from the 2-disc book-bound version from 1993.

I'm inclined to agree that a huge multi-disc box set with all the remixes and maybe even some unreleased material would be preferable, but oh well I guess nn. I'd even settle for the janet. era singles getting the completionist treatment digitally like they did with Rhythm Nation

The Janet tour video would have been a great inclusion.

Is there any confirmation it's been remastered?

Pop Life · May 18, 2023

Another wasted opportunity. Those are NOT the bonus mixes I would have chosen.

I thought they might have at least used the full image of her for the cover of the deluxe 3 LP set...something like the janet. video collection laserdisc from 1994:

The way her team does the absolute bare minimum is so frustrating.

May be deliberate. Will probably sell well regardless.

Nn yeah I take back what I said, it sucks when you see the tracklisting written out like that. Not even a remix of each single at the very least?

I think I'm just conditioned to take what I can get because she hasn't done anything to honour her legacy in decades. And to be fair, I'm happy that the b-sides will be properly available now. But it's just bizarre that (I'm assuming) a team of people decided to do this anniversary edition and just... not put anything on it. There was a whole remix album made for this album, you'd think they'd at least add that as a disc.

At LEAST release the janet. tour video for the love of God, people have been asking for it for 30 years.

A bit meh re the track listing, but still will get the CD edition at least.

tylerc · May 18, 2023

Definitely underwhelming but I’ll be buying. I love those b-sides and even tho I have them already on janet. remixed and the If single, a tidy compilation always gets my sale. Looks like for now I’ll hold on to the remix album since they were stingy here!

Not me getting an email "reminding" me of her career goodies auction. The demise!

Oops this just made me remember that I own this version and hadn't added it to discogs!

Why isn't this on her official youtube channel?

And why is this such poor quality?

Side A
1. And On And On
2. 70's Love Groove
3. One More Chance
Side B
1. You Want This (Remix) (feat. MC Lyte)
2. Where Are You Now (Nelle Hooper Mix)
3. Because Of Love (Muggs 7" With Bass Intro)
4. That's The Way Love Goes (CJ R&B 7" Mix)

Nothing for “If”!?!? The fuck?

This is even worse than I anticipated when I read the comments on this page ddd.

They definitely could've added more, but CD wise it will be nice to have the albums and b-sides in one set.

I fuckin' love the Nelle Hooper Mix of Where Are You Now.

I agree, stunning remix. One of my favourites from the Janet album in general too.

It's infurating... literally what the hell? Or maybe she can't be assed and it's her not signing off stuff.

Fans: Respect your legacy!

Imagine winning those and the courier comes while you're away and your family opens it... they'd be in the bin an hour later. 'Haha funny someone pranked you sent some worn shoes'.

I know she had the tour bundle but I don’t think this gets enough credit for how much of a feat this was. With basically 0 promotion too.

WhatKindOfKylie? · May 22, 2023

Unbreakable, sure does feel like a lifetime ago now.

Raichu · May 22, 2023

Unbreakable is such a good album.
