4.0 out of 5 stars DVD is worth the price of this special edition..., November 21, 2001

As a longtime (and somewhat obsessive) janet fan, it's easy to quibble and complain about the alterations and omissions found on the ALL FOR YOU limited edition cd/dvd.

First off, the ALL FOR YOU cd included in this set is not the original album that was shipped to stores earlier this year, but is a cleaned up and "sex-free" version. Any curse words or talk of explicit sexuality is censored. Additionally, the track WOULD YOU MIND is painfully removed from the tracklist. In its place are two mediocre remixes of SON OF A GUN, featuring Missy Elliot and P. Diddy.

Personally speaking, SON OF A GUN is perhaps the worst song on this otherwise enjoyable album, so it baffled me as to why the producers wanted to include three mixes of this song. If they wanted to replace the explicit WOULD YOU MIND, they could've taken the upbeat WHO (found on the ALL FOR YOU Japanese import cd) and put it on this cd. If you're looking for good remixes of SON OF A GUN (and there are some good remixes), you won't find them on this cd. Wait for the Dec. 4th release of the European import. It will contain two much more edgier sounding mixes from ROCKWILDER and ROUTE 80, as well as a smooth, afterhours-club-feel from COTTONBELLY. The pre-existing FLYTE TYME mix and the P.DIDDY mix will also be on the import single.

Surprisingly, I don't have much to complain about with the dvd. Being that this was the reason I purchased the special edition in the first place, I must say that this is worth the price of the set alone.

The dvd is aptly (and somewhat ironically) titled THE VIRGIN YEARS. It contains most of the sex charged videos Janet has made under the Virgin Records label, spanning from JANET to ALL FOR YOU.

Also included are three behind-the-scenes clips of Janet's photo shoots and interviews, in which she takes some time out to reveal her thoughts and ideas behind each album. The dvd has a cool function that allows you to mix up the videos and play them in a continuous order of your choice.

Now here's where my little complaints come in, but they're minimal:
I found it odd that the makers of the dvd included the video to the remix TOGETHER AGAIN, but they neglected to include the alternate remix videos to some of Janet's other songs (i.e. I GET LONELY w/ BLACKSTREET, SOMEONE TO CALL MY LOVER w/ JD, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE R. KELLY REMIX).

Another note: Some of the videos here are alternate versions of the originals that aired on tv. The THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES video doesn't start and end with Janet and the gang goofing around in the apartment, but instead dives right into the song. The IF video keeps the original beginning and ending (outside an Asian style night club), but edits out the voyeuristic "webcam" style setting that made it so interesting in the first place. The AGAIN video included on this disc is interspersed with clips from Janet's 1993 film POETIC JUSTICE.

Still, these observations are little to rant about unless you're a die hard Janet fan. It is finally nice to have a collection of her videos on dvd, and by next month, the videos from CONTROL and RHYTHM NATION will also be released onto discs as well.

Bottom Line: BUY THIS TWO DISC SET FOR THE DVD, BUT KEEP THE ORIGINAL ALL FOR YOU ALBUM THAT YOU BOUGHT BACK IN APRIL NEARBY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suprise CD!, December 10, 2001

What most sources don't tell the customer is that this CD comes with a DVD of all of JJ's videos from the last three CD's (janet., Velvet Rope, and All For You (a.k.a. The Virgin Years)). This is a great CD, but it is edited, and Would You Mind is off the track listing. But in place of those are remixes of Son of a Gun, which are decent (the original is the best). The part of this collection that makes it worth the money is the DVD. It's Great! Most people have been waiting for JJ's videos in one place for a long time, and this is the closest anyone will most likely get for a while, and at the moment, it's close enough. Just being able to see the "if" full-length video was nice, but then the other 18 videos make it a complete collection (obviously excluding the video's from the 80's). If you're a fan, or just like Janet, then this is a wonderful purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of her Game, August 4, 2002

By 

"1_inamillion" (Columbia, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All for You (Audio CD)

This is a must have collection for any pop music fan... This disc has a little something for everyone. The upbeat tracks are some of the best that Janet has ever produced, and the slower sensual songs make her masterpiece 1993 album 'janet.' look tame. Janet's a full grown woman and lets us all know it. The only flaws in this collection are the edits over all the expletive words (found in the tracks, "Son of a Gun," "Trust a Try," and "Better Days") and the complete exclusion of "Would You Mind" (which is definitely worth picking up on the original release of this album).

So you are asking yourself, why buy this edition of the disc if its edited? Because with this one you get what I consider to be the greatest music video DVD compilation ever released. This has all of Janet's best videos... "That's the Way Love Goes" (featuring the Jennifer Lopez cameo), "Again," "Anytime, Anyplace," "You Want This," "All For You," "I Get Lonely," and many more great Janet videos. The only noticeable exclusions from the DVD are "Runaway" and "Twenty Foreplay" which are both A&M releases (not Virgin, like this collection), "Scream" (which was a Sony release, and available on Michael's HIStory DVD), and "Doesn't Really Matter" (which includes clips from the Nutty Professor II: The Klumps film, so for legal reasons could not be included, but can be found on the Nutty Professor DVD). Still, barring the missing videos, this collection is unparalleled. Madonna's 90's video collection, while impressive in its own right, can't even touch this collection.

And let us not forget... if you still aren't convinced of buying this collection, I have 3 words for you: "If" music video. Many would say that this music video singlehandedly changed the face of MTV, as the entire video is a dance sequence. Yes, before "If" came along many videos had some awesome dancing, but with the exception of Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted," no video prior to this took it to this level. Directed by Dominic Sena (who directed the feature film "Gone in 60 Seconds with Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage, and numerous other Janet videos like "Rhythm Nation"), the "If" video is the definition of what a music video should be.

You will get your money's worth.
