Backstreet Boys (international version)
Backstreet Boys
Review:
“Backstreet Boys is the self-titled international debut album from the pop group Backstreet Boys. The album was released around Europe, Asia, Canada and in a few other markets. It was a fair success and contains a number of the band’s most memorable singles. All of those singles were later released on the second self-titled debut in the United States in 1997, which compiled songs from this album, and the band's second international release, Backstreet's Back” (wikipedia).

“This album, as has been common with Backstreet Boys albums, had several different tracklistings in various markets. The German (European) edition is generally considered to be the ‘standard’ tracklist for this album. The release date for the disc is somewhat disputed, with some sources listing 1995, and some listing 1996. This might be due to the release of the different versions of the disc in different markets” (wikipedia).
