Janet Jackson – Rhythm Nation 1814 (CD, 1989, A&M Records CD 3920, Denon Glass Master)

Why This CD Matters
Rhythm Nation 1814 became one of Janet Jackson’s defining albums, combining socially focused material with the dance-pop and R&B production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The album produced seven Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 singles, including the No. 1 hits “Miss You Much,” “Escapade,” “Black Cat,” and “Love Will Never Do (Without You).” Its mix of tightly sequenced songs and interludes helped give the album a unified concept extending beyond a conventional collection of pop singles.
