Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill 20th Anniversary 2-disc and 4-disc editions

Okay, so if you don't care about the album and didn't buy it, then why are you reading and participating in this thread?

 

because it's an opinion and that what forums about....

 

Seems like an odd place to put that kind of opinion since the thread is obviously geared towards people who like the album and are interested in an expended release...

 

Yeah the Jimmy the Saint Mix is the video version. The intro bass is very prominent in it.

 

I never understood why she would release an acoustic album yet also slather autotune onto her voice. Made absolutely no sense.

 

I agree, The "Warner" leash around her throat perhaps?

 

Words cannot express my lack of enthusiasm for this endeavor.

 

And yet you felt the impulsive need to click on the thread and take the time to reply. Go figure.

 

Urm, sorry that was a reference to Curb Your Enthusiasm.

 

Okay, I haven't ever seen that show. In that case, I will apologize for my misplaced snark.

 

No worries, it was a pretty obscure reference.

 

Today, June 13, 2015, is the 20th anniversary of the release of this great album. I am officially really old because I remember my boss getting the promo of this and correctly predicting that it would be huge. This is a cool list of some JLP facts. I had no idea the final vocals were all from the original demos:

That article lost me at "remastering"...it's already plenty "modern" sounding.

 

Thank you Bartels76 - I didn't even know this existed and it's been sitting there hidden on my 1995 Maverick CD since, well, probably 1995. What a great mix!

 

I forgot Taylor Hawkins was in her band then.

 

So shouldn't they have had this out by June/July for the 20th Anniversary?

 

4 and 2 CD Deluxe Edition coming end of October.

 

Track listings for both the 4-disc and 2-disc editions are here:

i'm not complaining because the demos will be nice to hear but I was hoping we'd get a DVD along with the package.

 

Demos recorded between 1994 and 1998, whereas the album was released in 1995? JLP is a great album though. Listening to it now, actually.

Saw Alanis in Hyde Park in 1996. Rocking show, Taylor Hawkins (currently playing in Foo Fighters) was her drummer back then.

 

Yeah, the demos from after the album was released confuse me. I guess because there weren't enough demos of unreleased songs from the period the album was being worked on?

 

This could be so much better if they included all the awesome B-sides which would fill a disc plus. They should've canned the acoustic CD and put on the Spacecakes EP instead. Really dumb to add that 10th anniversay album on there when it is easily available.

 

Spacecakes! D'oh! I knew I was forgetting something! Yeah, they should have included that.

Milking it for all its worth.

 

Well, yeah. Record companies re-release very successful albums with previously unreleased material to make more money because they know the album will sell well.

That's not exactly a new tactic on their part.
