2 X 2

2 X 2 is a double album by Milli Vanilli which was released in the U.K. in 1989 [1]. Disc one of the album contained the original European "All or Nothing" [2] while disc two contained the American remix album All or Nothing (US Remix Album) [3].

Arista Records in the U.S. repackaged the first Milli Vanilli album All or Nothing as "Girl You Know It's True". The release was still considered "too European sounding" by Arista so yet another repackaged album All or Nothing (US Remix Album) was released with remixes and additional tracks. This album was successful and broke the act in the U.S. market, spawning several hits.

For the U.K. release, BMG repackaged both versions as the one double album. This is evident in the cassette version of the release where one cassette has a label (covering the "All or Nothing" title typography) and the other cassette does not. Disc one and disc two also contain exactly the same "NY Subway Version" of "Girl You Know It's True" (lifted from the 12" single) despite the first disc version not being labeled so. Despite not being marketed as a package of two albums in the U.K., another tell-tale sign is the fact is the inclusion of two mixes of a non-single track "Dreams to Remember" and only one version of "Blame It on the Rain".
