Below is a table, which covers the important items towards acquiring a complete Deborah Gibson track collection. A few notes before we begin.
This list has been compiled based on trying to get as many tracks on CD as possible. Some tracks are impossible to get on CD officially, which necessitates listing some vinyl releases.
All releases on the below list are either US, Australian, UK, German, or Japanese.
On the pages for single releases (as well as a couple of albums and a couple of the various releases), you'll notice color-coded asterisks marking whether a track is an "exclusive" track or a "non-exclusive, needed" track. This doesn't count tracks which are available on a regular pressing of an album.

* = "Only In My Dreams" (Vocal) can be found on CD on two compilations: "Totally '80s" and "Only Rock 'N Roll #1 Radio Hits 1985-1989"; the "Extended Club Mix" that appears on the "Only In My Dreams" 12" is not the same one that appears on the "Greatest Hits" album Return to Only In My Dreams entry. ** = The "Vocal/Club Mix" can be acquired on CD on either on the UK 3" CD single of "Shake Your Love," or on the US or Japanese pressing of "Greatest Hits." The "Bassa Pella" mix can be acquired on CD on the Japanese remix compilation, "Super-Mix Club" Return to Shake Your Love entry. *** = The "Club Mix" is available on CD on a 3" CD available in the UK, Germany, and Australia. The "Drumapella" can be acquired on CD on the Japanese remix compilation, "Super-Mix Club." Also, the only place to find the "Radio Mix" is on the US 12" promo. Return to Out Of The Blue entry. **** = I only list the Japanese 3" CD because this is the only pressing where you can also get the "Without You" instrumental. Return to Without You entry. ***** = Another CD you can find The edit of "(This So-Called) Miracle" on is the US promo CD. Return to (This So-Called) Miracle entry. ****** = This track can also be found on one of the following compilation CDs: "20 Christmas Stars Vol. VII" and "40 Christmas Stars, VOl. 4." Return to Christmas Without You entry. ******* = The digital download single has a track not available on the one-track commercial CD single. Return to Naked entry.
Of course, a complete Deborah Gibson track collection requires having all the albums. But which pressings of the albums? Most will be US, unless otherwise indicated:
And it also requires the following:
|
Also look for the following videos:
There are also believed to be promotional-only videotapes containing the following videos:
|
It is known that there are promotional-only videotapes for "Shock Your Mama" and "For Better Or Worse." Additionally, with the possible exception of the two remix videos above, these are likely all one-track videotapes; the remix videos could be on individual tapes, or could be combined with the original videos on the same tape.
This should cover it. Books, posters, shirts, and other types of memorabilia are not covered here, because it would get really out of hand.
Anyone with further information can write me and let me know.
