Janet Jackson
- Thread starter Ordon
- Start date
Can't believe we forgot mom's birthday yesterday! Let's repent by streaming her magnum opus.
Oooh Is this real?
Yes, it was just posted on iwan which is almost never wrong. No tracklisting yet. Not sure if this will be in different variations but it looks like it's only two discs so far.
It better had be. This album deserves a anniversary re issue for sure.
Hope the original album has been remastered and maybe some unreleased mixes.
No tracklisting yet but...
It needs to be a 10-disc affair, though...
You're right....my RN1814 homemade deluxe filled 8 discs, and there were probably even more mixes in the Janet era...
Hope we do get some of the best mixes included on this.
If it's being released on digital I'm hoping they might chuck the single mix of Best Things In Life Are Free on it so we can get it on there (Spotify only has the rather more dull soundtrack version)
Oh yes, that is a must too!

This would also be an excellent time to finally put janet. Remixed on US streaming. please I am literally begging

Not me literally coming in here to have a meltdown because nothing had been announced for the anniversary
I said it with The Velvet Rope/Discipline's deluxe editions where I know there are probably outtakes and remixes and things that we should be getting, but given the state of her affairs over the past 20 years, I will gladly take the morsels she decides to serve us. Honestly as long as we get the b-sides and the MC Lyte version of You Want This on streaming, then I'm good. And hopefully the 1993 VMAs audio is included!

Nn okay I know I just said I was fine with morsels but the 3 b-sides + 4 remixes is a bit stingy...? Couldn't they beef up the digital versions at least

Any links out yet?

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
