spman 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2006 Ao I was purusing through the music store yesterday, and I stumbled upon a copy of "Girl You Know It's True", the original US Milli Vanilli album, thing was though that they wanted 20 bucks for it. I thiught that this was just the store setting a high price for a CD they know is significant and out of print, but apparently it sells on eBay for 25 dollars and up. Sure, the album has some historical significance as an oddity of pop culture, and really it's not that bad of an album, but why is it worth so much? It's not like it didn't sell 15 million copies, so it can't be that hard to find and in demand. Is it just artificial inflation caused by people who just don't know any better? On that note, while I do have vague memories of the era of Milli Vanilli and NKOTB, mostly through my older sister, in retrospect, how did anyone even think these 2 goofs ever sang on the album int he first place? You listen to "Blame it on the Rain" and "Girl You Know It's True", and they sing as clearly and fluently as anyone else, but then you watch archival footage of their interviews, and these two guys can barely speak a lick of English. Were people really shocked to learn they didn't actually sing on their album, or was it just confirmation of a poorly kept secret? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
