The Rarities tracklistings (95,471) by Terna from Nigeria I'm kinda shocked that with all the investigations we did, we still got it wrong. Lol. Being an avid Lamb like I know most of us here are I still never heard of tracks like "All I Live For", "One Night", "Can You Hear Me" and "Cool On You" (I hope this isn't one of Jermaine's because if I hear one more "Y'all Know what this is"). Anyways, I am really excited for this record although we could've been fine without "Everything Fades Away" and "Do you think of Me" instead replacing them with "Into The Light" and "Alive" or Even "Skydiving". Like most Lambs I'm most stoked for the original "Loverboy" version JLo stole. Hehe. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 18:37)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,469) (95,470) by TJ from Norway That would be the greatest gift of all. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 17:24)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,467) (95,469) by Bill from the UK Me too. I'm praying the end of the celebrations concludes with the debut album remastered, with the "original" album that you mention, and the demo versions/Tommy demo tape. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 14:45)

Billboard Quizzed (95,468) by Will from Australia Oh the shade of Mariah when asked about the Christina Aguilera song from Mean Girls and she claims she doesn't remember initially and then proceeds to get every other 99 questions about the movie right. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 13:06)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,459) (95,467) by TJ from Norway I agree, but (and there's always a but) I also wanted the songs from her debut album, in the way she wanted them, but couldn't release because of her contract with Columbia records. There are other versions of VOL and the rest of the album that she liked better. I'm still hoping. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 12:55)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,461) (95,466) by Tevin from USA Thanks so much Robert. I can't wait to jump into the vinyl world. Thanks for the detailed explanation. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 04:53)

Re: Loverboy - Firecracker (95,453) (95,465) by 123 from USA Hilton I think you are on to something. She would need a feature to get radio to play it and the general public to be interested in it. Drake is the only choice if she can pull it off and get the label to send it to multiple formats. Didn't he post a pic of Mariah from Dreamlover with a heart a while back? Getting the song to number 1 would be the best form of karma. Plus Drake is the male version of Mariah when it comes to petty so I'm sure he would be down for it. He used to date I don't know her, so using him to get a historic number 1 when I don't know her used her ex to do the same thing back in 2001. The blogs wouldn't stop talking. Now that would be a juicy story. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 03:32)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,455) (95,464) by Bobby A from United States Well it looks like Memoirs is not saying remastered on MC's website because it is the vinyl from the limited edition Memoirs box set from 2009. I am still going to purchase anyway because of the chance it may be 150 grams. Merry Christmas is the same imited edition vinyl that was released in 2012. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 01:20)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,443) (95,463) by cBerr from Canada For those interested, check out the #MC30 story on the "We Miss Music" site. There are multiple limited edition vinyl reissues exclusive to places like Target, Urban Outfitters and VinylMePlease. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 01:14)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,459) (95,462) by Bobby A from United States I just thought about the eclectic list of producers on The Rarities. Could Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have produced Out Here On My Own for the Glitter soundtrack? And since James "Big Jim" Wright was MC's musical director at the time of Lullaby Of Birdland's live recording then he has to be listed as the co-producer. I am pretty sure Loris Holland and Randy Jackson co-produced Mesmerized. Daniel Moore will probably be listed as the co-producer on Close Your Eyes (Acoustic). (Thursday 10 September 2020; 00:57)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,457) (95,461) by Bobby A from United States Sure thing Tevin. You receive a live in the studio sound with vinyl records compared to CD's. The higher the vinyl gram quality a vinyl record is the better the sound. Most new vinyl records are 150 grams and up. Remastered vinyl records are even better. I recommend the Audio Technical belt drive turntable. They are really a reasonable priced excellent quality turntable. I have one myself. I am planning on purchasing their direct drive turntable soon. In order to play their turntable you will need a music system unit that has an auxillary port connection (red and white plugs). Then you will need some good quality bookshelf or floor speakers. The vintage floor speakers to me give you the best sound. However, newer bookshelf speakers are good too. Stay away from the speaker brands like Curtis, Emerson, and GPX. The sound quality with those brands is horrible. Check out your local Goodwill or other thrift stores for a good quality music system and speakers from brands like Sony, JVC, Panasonic, and Philips. That's how I created my music system. When you get your first turntable, I will send you a vinyl record as a gift. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 00:38)

Re: Loverboy - Firecracker (95,449) (95,460) by Norman from USA Here for it. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 23:27)

The Rarities tracklist (95,459) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Really pleasantly surprised with this. Now I'm really excited. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 21:29)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,442) (95,458) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The Spanish versions of her hits were okay, but to me the best tracks on that album were her duets with Luis Fonsi, Cuando No Es Contigo and my favorite cover of hers, Contigo En La Distancia.

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,455) (95,457) by Tevin from USA Robert do you have any other suggestions for purchasing a record player? I was thinking about jumping on the vinyl bandwagon to see how I like the sound. Is there any difference in sound quality with vinyl vs cd? (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 21:01)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,441) (95,456) by Bobby A from United States This is MC at her best right here. I wonder if we will get All I Live For as the official first single. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 19:26)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,443) (95,455) by Bobby A from United States Does this mean that Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas II You, and Memoirs have been remastered again since their first release on vinyl? I have all three already. Oh, well I guess I will order all 17 again. This is the best day ever as a Lamb. No other day comes close to it except the release day of TEOM. I guess I better buy me a direct drive turntable to really hear the full live experience of the Tokyo concert. Direct drive turntables provide a fuller richer sound compared to belt drive turntables.

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,446) (95,454) by Bobby A from United States This tracklist is better than my little tea cup 3 weeks ago. Wow. I am looking forward to hearing them all especially All I Live For. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 19:08)

Re: Loverboy - Firecracker (95,449) (95,453) by T from USA It was supposed to go to #1 in 2001 and her first lead single to not achieve it. I’m down to try and make it #1 but I’m afraid the only one who could do that in 2020 is Drake with a feature. Interesting enough he has an album coming out soon called "Certified lover boy". (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 18:48)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,446) (95,452) by Edward from USA Same sentiment here. Just to know we''ll be getting 90's lyrics and vocals bring back the excitement of past days. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 18:02)

The rarities / TMOMC (95,451) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am ready for both, bring them on. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 17:45)

You probably thought you'd never hear this from me (95,450) by Randy from USA After seeing the track list today. I'm excited. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 17:28)

Loverboy - Firecracker (95,449) by Weston from United States We should start a social media campaign to get the original version of Loverboy to #1. Now that would be a big moment. #JusticeForLoverboy (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 16:31)

Re: New insta story (95,437) (95,448) by Tijl from Belgium She looks happy and relaxed. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 15:59)

Re: The Rarities (95,439) (95,447) by Tijl from Belgium I can not wait to hear the original "Loverboy". (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 15:59)
