All or Nothing is the debut studio album by dance pop duo Milli Vanilli, released only outside of North America in November 1988. In 1989, it was repackaged and retitled as Girl You Know It's True for release in North America on the Arista label, with several of the original album tracks replaced and/or remixed. All or Nothing was a moderate success, reaching the top 40 in several European countries and number 1 in New Zealand. It originally reached number 37 in the UK, but was packaged together with The U.S.-Remix Album: All or Nothing in 1989 under the name 2×2 and reached number 6. After 1990, when it came to light the members of Milli Vanilli were lip-synching, a disclaimer sticker was added on the cover to explicitly name the singers who provided vocals on the album.
Although All or Nothing was replaced in America with Girl You Know It's True, All or Nothing is available on the American iTunes Store.
In December 1990, singer-songwriter David Clayton-Thomas sued Milli Vanilli for copyright infringement, alleging that the title track used the melody from his 1968 composition "Spinning Wheel", a hit for his group Blood, Sweat & Tears.
All or Nothing was included in Q magazine's 2006 list of the 50 worst albums ever made.
