Control: The Remixes (issued as More Control in Japan) is the first remix album (and fourth album overall) by American recording artist Janet Jackson. Released on January 26, 1987 in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Japan only, it contains remixes of singles from Control, following the success of the album. Several of the remixes, notably 'When I Think of You' and 'Control', were the versions featured in their respective music videos. Most of the remixes were also available as B-sides to the original versions. In 2019, the album has been reissued on CD, Vinyl and all digital platforms.^[3]

Track listing[edit]

Julien’s Auctions is proud to present 'Iconic Treasures From The Legendary Career And Life of Janet Jackson', an auction taking place in Beverly Hills and live online at Julien's Live on Friday, May 14th, Saturday, May 15th and Sunday, May 16th. Control released in 1986 when Jackson was 19 years old, that catapulted Jackson’s career.

European release[edit]

Janet Jackson is probably the only artist who still delivers classy rnb music. Other artists who were known for good quality music have already sold out their musical genres and tried anything to make more money.
