So here we have the elusive album by Janet Jackson that i have been trying to convince retailers actually exists ! Those of you in the know,know what i'm talking about.....trying to explain that Janet did have two albums prior to Control. For some reason people [among them Janet] have been trying to avoid this album's existence and i for the life of me don't know why,sure it doesn't have all the "attitude" of a Control or a Rhythm Nation but this was 1982 four years before Control and music was different then. To compare this to Control or "rhythm" is unfair,first off as i stated before music WAS different then,secondly,even tho the "Minneapolis Sound" was in full swing,it was done by grown folks like Prince,The Time,Vanity 6 among others,Janet was a 16 year old girl still living under the jackson's Compound and it was not until 1984's Dream Street that she started showing signs of rebel. I'm giving this album five stars because the music is good on here and Janet was in her purest form, just an r&b/pop teen singer doing her thing. For those of you who care...there's a longer version of "say you do" on this album and it's better than the one that appeared on the original release, in my opinion also i have a new found fondness for the song "forever yours" and i always loved "young love' that was my jam ! Anyway,buy this album before it "disappear" again.
