Aside from the 4 original albums, there are dozens of additional compilations with new songs or different versions, much like Xscape. Which is your favourite? Vote for one from each of the two categories.
 
I guess for some it can be hard to keep up with them all...
 
hmm good poll but I can’t answer for now. I never listened to the stripped mixes and I never even heard of the remix suite or Michael Jackson mix
 
voted ‘farewell my summer love’ solely for the way the title track, and ‘girl you’re so together’ were given that extra lease of life. they ended up surpassing the original versions in my opinion.
 
What I like about these albums is that they're their own standalone release. They didn't demote them to being bonus tracks, and they didn't try to make you buy an anniversary edition of "ABC 15" or some nonsense.

How about now?
 
The original versions of the songs on Farewell are dope. Motown should have released them in 1974.

Fair enough.

It's funny the way modernizing a 70s song to sound 80s is better than modernizing any song to sound 2020s.
