No separation by month? I think it would be pretty by using the book Every Step Of Her Way.

[Larry Stylinson]

Had a hard time finding exact dates for everything if you could help me out with those that would be great 

[PlayboyMommy]

By the way if any one of you want to see how the original album would have looked like here's a fanmade recreation

 

[SonOfSun]

I love how the album had the 90's R'n'B influences along with some straight teen Pop ! It suited her and her voice so well at the time. 

 

 

[Kartofelek]

We should also count that there were 3 versions of "Sometimes" - there was this demo version (Sneak Preview Cassette, Mall Tour CD), the alternative ending (no fade out), and the album version (fade out).

[Kartofelek]

Also, did the 1998 version of WHERE ARE YOU NOW leak? The one from the in-house CD?

As far as we know, it's not very different than the final released version on OIDIA

[MmmDani]

It’d be cool if this list included dates (as much as we know), and then expanded to all of the performances. A proper BOMT album timeline would be lovely

I didn't know about this cover. So much better than the one we got... the shades of brown and even the font looks superb and tasteful.

The only thing I didn't like is that the when the CD is closed, there's a white part on the left from the background image. It would look much better if it was brown.

Don't know if anyone cares, but this could of been the original Time Out with Britney Spears Cover:

The demo version doesn't fade out either.

Thanks for this! It's interesting to see how the album came together in the end.

Just changed that bit out, I hope it looks better this way

The 1998 version includes unmastered vocals and a different vocal take which is slightly different than the one released

I still would appreciate if anyone could provide some information regarding when certain songs where released so I could add it in here

Where does the confirmation about TAKE IT AWAY comes from?

 

years and years ago, it was confirmed that Jack D. Elliot (Boy Wunder) remixed most of the album.

[HeavenOnExhale]

I would like to see a list of performances from this era.

@StrawberryKisses got in touch with Eric Foster White through his LinkedIn and he confirmed the title apparently, I would love to hear those Jack D. Elliot mixes since he also made commissioned remixes for Oops, Lucky and Stronger too, also I realized you posted the original promo poster of the album some time ago in another thread so I'll add it in here, thanks!
