The U.S.-Remix Album: All or Nothing
1989 remix album by Milli Vanilli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S.-Remix Album: All or Nothing is a remix album by Milli Vanilli released in June 1989 outside of North America. It contains remixes of tracks from All or Nothing as well as tracks from the group's North American debut album Girl You Know It's True that did not appear on All or Nothing. In the United Kingdom, rather than being given a stand-alone release, the album was packaged together with All or Nothing under the title 2×2. 2×2 was also released in France, where the remix album was available on its own. After 1990, when it came to light the members of Milli Vanilli were lip-synching, a disclaimer sticker was added on the cover to explicitly name the singers who provided vocals on the album.

The U.S.-Remix Album/2×2 had more chart success than All or Nothing in most territories. It reached #1 in the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand and the top ten in the UK, Germany and several other countries.
A conceptually similar album, The Remix Album, was released one year later in the U.S. in 1990. The Remix Album includes extended, remixed versions of the group's singles and tracks which were exclusive to the European studio album All or Nothing.
