In typical Milli Vanilli fashion, it seems that the project had meddling input from virtually everyone except the duo themselves, and was subject to tinkering even after its release.


The track order on the U.S. release is out of sequence with the listing printed on its cover art, and several tracks are listed with the wrong time. A few of the writers' credits are inconsistent with what is listed in external sources. The song I'm Gonna Miss You was retitled as Girl I'm Gonna Miss You when it was released as a single.

Notes

Girl You Know Its True was removed from the Arista catalog following the revelation that Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan had not actually performed on the album, making it the biggest-selling album ever taken out of print. All or Nothing was allowed to stay in print for a period of time after the controversy, but is now out of print as well. Both releases command a reasonable price on the used compact disc market. Rob Pilatus, (June 8, 1965 – April 2, 1998) born in New York City was a member of the music band Milli Vanilli. ... Fabrice Fab Morvan (born in Guadeloupe on May 14, 1966) is a French model, singer and songwriter. ... Jump to: navigation, search Interference colors. ...

Shortly after a trip to Turkey, where the duo was reputed to get the band name from a local advertising slogan, Milli Vanilli was born, with Morvan and Pilatus serving as the public faces for the vocal talents of Charles Shaw, Johnny Davis, and Brad Howell, who Farian felt were talented but unmarketable musicians.
Milli Vanilli's Grammy was withdrawn four days later, and Arista Records dropped the act from its roster and deleted their album and its masters from their catalog, making Girl You Know It's True the largest-selling album to ever be taken out of print.
