I would like to say I'm embarrassed to ask this, but as a
completist I'm not.
Does anyone know if the new Milli Vanilli compilation has
any single mixes / versions? Here is a link if you don't
know about the disc or you are curious about it:

True/dp/B00S2SYPYY/ref=sr_1_3?
s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1424912791&sr=1-
3&keywords=milli+vanilli

I apologize in advance if we aren't supposed to paste links
on this website. I would check the forum rules, but I
probably wouldn't have any luck getting back to this screen
on my smartphone.

I haven't purchased this new release as of yet but would
also like to know if there is indeed any 45 versions
included.

I wasn't aware of this Best of... CD prior to maciav's post above. As I admitted in a detailed story a couple years ago over in the Bette Midler - "Wind Beneath My Wings" thread, I actually went & saw Rob & Fab perform "live" as MV in June of 1990, about 4-5 months before the scandal broke. :-) At that time, I said I'd always wondered why MV's music remained out-of-print here in the U.S., regardless of who sang the vocals. I've actually been waiting for a domestic hits collection of some sort from them for quite a while myself...

Therefore, I just did some additional on-line research of this "new" CD, and here's what I found: Girl You Know it's True: The Best of... was first released over in the U.K. in July of 2013, w/ the same cover art & track listing. So it appears that after a year-and-a-half of hesitating, on January 27 Sony/BMG finally decided to issue it here in the U.S. as well. I also found listings for the original 2013 U.K. edition - including track timings - over at iTunes here and Last.fm here.

Of course, MV had five top 40 hits here in the U.S., and all are included on Girl You Know it's True: The Best of... (two of them w/ bonus mixes). FWIW, assuming the versions on this new 2015 U.S. edition match the original U.K. import (which they more than likely do), here's a preliminary analysis:

1989 "Girl You Know it's True" U.S. 45 = (3:49)/U.S. LP = (4:11)/Best of... CD = (3:18)
       (conclusion: version previously unreleased in U.S.)

1989 "Baby Don't Forget My Number" U.S. 45 = (4:01)/U.S. LP = (4:15)/Best of... CD = (4:09)
       (conclusion: version previously unreleased in U.S.)

1989 "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" U.S. 45 = (4:23)/U.S. LP = (3:57)/Best of... CD = (3:58)
       (conclusion: LP version)

1989 "Blame it on the Rain" U.S. 45 = (4:08)/U.S. LP = (4:18)/Best of... CD = (4:08)
       (conclusion: 45 version)

1990 "All or Nothing" U.S. 45 = (3:55)/U.S. LP = (3:15)/Best of... CD = (3:20)
       (conclusion: version previously unreleased in U.S.)

The CD also adds the "N.Y.C. Subway Remix" of "Girl You Know it's True" running (4:00), as well as the "U.S. Club Mix" of "All or Nothing" running (4:32). I want to emphasize that I don't yet have this CD myself, and that my conclusions are based strictly on the CD timings that I found on-line. Hopefully Pat will be adding this new release to the db soon, and I look forward to his "official" report - but at the very least, I'd say that "Blame it on the Rain" looks pretty promising for those seeking 45 versions...

I have added the information regarding "Girl You Know It's True - Best Of" to the database and it is a total disaster in my opinion. The only correction from what was reported above is with regards to the song "Blame It On The Rain" which is neither the 45 nor LP version.

So even though the (4:07)-(4:08) timing for "Blame it on the Rain" was correct and matches the length of the 45 version, it's NOT actually the 45 version on this new CD??? So it must be remixed vs. the U.S. 45 version??? Or else it's the LP version faded :11 early??? Bummer!

Also Pat, you report the timing of "Baby Don't Forget My Number" as being (4:15) on this new CD, which actually matches the length of the LP version - yet that one isn't the true LP version, either???

Yeah, I'd say "disaster" sounds about right! Think I'm gonna pass on this one... :-(

The correct running time of Baby Don't Forget My Number is (4:08) not (4:15) and you are correct it is a "neither the 45 nor LP version".

I'm still searching for the version of "blame It On The
Rain" I played on the radio. It apparently was neither the
LP nor the 45 version; I'll be curious to see if this is
the version we played.

Keep an eye on eBay. The U.S. Promo CD Maxi Single shows up here and there, and it's the only place to find this fix. Also, the European Single Version is based on the U.S. Single
Version, but it's slightly different, adding female singers. This version is the one used on the music video (aired worldwide, including North American).

It's amazing how the single version of "Girl You Know It's True" cannot be found anywhere. It was never issued on the album outside the U.S. The U.S. edition contains the "LP
Version", which is basically the U.S. Single Version with the spoken intro. The U.S. LP Version is the mix used on the music video worldwide. The different international CD Maxi
Singles contain various extended mixes, but none of them include the single version, with the sole exception of the French CD Maxi Single, which also utilizes the U.S. single artwork.
The best mix of this song is the one performed at the Grammys, when they won right after performing. It's the best mix, as it includes the extra verses found on the longer mix.

The only other CD to find the single version is the Arista promo CD E.P., Future No. 1 Hits, or something like that. This is the promo that radio stations used to play the song. I'm
pretty sure there was no stand-alone promo CD for "Girl You Know It's True". I don't count Maximum Milli Vanilli, as the channels are inverted for all songs.

Oh, and that U.S. compilation is just a U.S. issue of the German compilation that came out in 2013. Not a single MV compilation has ever used either the European or North American
single versions.

There's an easy fix for this. Just face the opposite direction of your speakers when listening :)

Did you ever figure out what version your station played? I am curious to which
version was actually the hit version.
