I own 2 copies of this album, lolz.
Talk about a different time.
I left my first copy at a relatives house, so bought it again, then got the first copy back.

Perfect, start to finish.
The breakdown violin of Velvet Rope (song) is 🔥

I even have the CD singles of I Get Lonely and Together Again, so im all too familiar with those remixes on this anni edition.

....also, i own 2 copies of All For You.
The original release, then the re-release with a different cover and a DVD with all her videos up to that point.
MAAAN, seriously. Different time for media consumption. Buying multiple copies of albums. DVDs for music videos.

I LOVED the gone til its gone music video!!

One of the best music videos of the 90s! Lol I remember being shocked to find out it was shot in LA, I really thought they had gone to South Africa for it!

Together Again also was shot in California, thought to be filmed in Africa, hah.

I guess it was just easier logistically.

oh wow first time hearing and seeing this :O!

this is back when they actually did music videos for remixes.

I like how the original is about losing a loved one, but this one is more so about losing a former lover (with the same lyrics).

There's also a remix video for the Blackstreet remix of I GET LONELY, but i dont see it on youtube (the first result that comes up on youtube is a weird fan made mix that sucks).

But they filmed it at the same time as the real video. Blackstreet just joins her in the set where shes wearing the suit.
