I'm not mad on any of the bonus material here. The Tony Humphries mix of Together Again is quite nice (although not a patch on the original obvs) but my main thought about it is how long must the original mix be if the edit version is still 10 mins!

Out of curiosity I tried to find out! Oddly the Tony Humphries Club Mix is shorter - 6m 43s This 10 minute version was tagged as "12" Edit Mix" back in 1997 as well and there's no longer versions on any release. |

The Velvet Rope is a 10 When I was an angsty gay teenager, I thought it was the best album ever, but in hindsight, I think it's a slight step-down from the perfection of the run Control-Rhythm Nation-janet. Not that it's bad, mind you, just that it comes off as a bit self-indulgent at some points. |

Justice for Just a Little While! I need to continue my Janet J discography listen. I think I heard up to (and including) 'Control'... but 'Control' didn't hit me as much as I thought it would and I didn't go back for a while. I'll probably start from that album and give it another listen though. Excited for 'Rhythm Nation' and 'Velvet Rope' listen throughs though. |

Enjoy has to be one of her most underrated tracks. Alongside Nothing.

I got really into Janet this year. I think she's having a club renaissance in terms of her older work

Make Me has been re-uploaded in 4K! This is doing oddly well - currently 825,620 views since it was uploaded on 2nd October. Browsing though the comments, some people appear to be under the impression that it's a brand new Janet single Just to compare it to a couple of her other recent uploads - Doesn't Really Matter: 133,424 views since 1st October / Just a Little While: 105,993 views since 4th October. I wonder what is causing Make Me to receive far more attention? The algorithm working in its favour? The original SD version of Make Me which was uploaded on 23rd Nov 2009 has 2,028,756 total views. So in a little over a week the new HD version has achieved 40% of the views that the original upload has taken almost 13 years to achieve. I'm wondering if the original upload was/is blocked in certain countries, because 2m views in all that time is incredibly low! Runaway isn't on her official channel, but a fan page had a go at making it HD. Close up shots look great, but some of it is horrifying |

No but seriously YES!!!!! I love this song soooo much! OK... restarting this today and I must not have listened to 'Control' coz this album is H I T T I N G the right spots for me and I'm 5 tracks in... so yeah I'm not sure I did listen to it. So glad I went back to it and didn't skip over it thinking I had already listened to it!!!

Yes! Really happy to hear that. Control is really where she began as an artist so I'm so excited for you to listen to what else is to come. Maybe repeated listens for the next 3 albums too

She's released a vinyl for it. I've already got it on stunning vinyl but snap it up if you haven't. A album
