i have the cassette tape (still playable) – and also got the album on MiniDisc – with the orignal box + art work
Shame minidisc’s didn’t catch on – really awsome stuff
cant’ believe it was that long ago – but with Britney, nothing seems dated at all, all seems fresh and new.

WOW!! How time has flown, it just seems like yesterday that she made her debut, one thing is for sure Britney has truly stood the test of time, proving she is a legendary artist in the making.
My favourite tracks off the album are:
Baby One More Time
Sometimes
(You Drive Me) Crazy
Born To Make You Happy
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Wishing Britney another brilliant decade within the music industry!!

i’ve just been thinking guys – was the cover for the baby one more time album different in the US than other countries like the UK?

Yes, the US cover was her kneeling on the ground and was pink and the UK cover was the white one with the closeup of her with her hands in the praying position.

Danny, thats a really awsome link
Thanks! – its amazing how many different versions there are. I remember my mates copy of BOMT had at the very end Britney talking and introducing the backstreet boys new album. Can’t believe its like over 10 years ago now. The talk of a new album this year is really exciting.

I gotta say i think the UK album cover was by far the best, this should have also been used for the american version as well.
