For a long time, I have wanted to do an 'imaginary' box set covering Debs career and i finally got all my notes together to come up with the following - i realise i have taken liberties (particularly with the SkiRts disc which i have kinda dumped non Skirts 60s ish sounding songs on there) and added demos to the eras they were recorded in. Plus some of the more recent stuff like Naked and Christmas Without You has been missed off That will be on disc one of box set three…

PHEW!! That was a bit of a mission. You could make your own Deborah Gibson boxset by buying the albums as indicated in the links in yesterday's retrospective!

When I was writing up this list, I was thinking about the chart success of Say Goodbye and the work she has done since and some of the opportunities that might present for Debs... and i kinda think that she should rerelease MYOB as her next album. I know we have all had it for five years now and would hanker after something new but hear me out...

MYOB is one of those albums that for me has just gotten better with age, and is jampacked with hit singles. Also i was reading about how Kylie's Light Years is considered her ultimate "gay icon" album and i really think MYOB is Debs. The title track MYOB told people to Mind Your Own Business when it came to who you are in love with/sleeping with, while dance hit Your Secret (actually written about a married man from the view point of a mistress) could easily be about a gay boy and his closeted lover. Jaded touches on the heartaches that difficult relationships can bring while Wishing you Were Here is transformed by a radio remix from a gentle AC chugger into a disco frenzied declaration of lust.

It's something that Deb would be able to release and promote fairly quickly while working on a great follow up for a year later.... and ultimately i feel this album deserves a bigger audience here is my suggested track listing:
