Get Ready! (the exclamation mark was dropped for the UK and US releases) was the first album released by 2 Unlimited. The album reached #17 in the Netherlands and #37 in the UK. Despite the moderate chart success, 2 Unlimited was one of the few Belgian/Dutch bands which set out to conquer the world and even gained access to the difficult American market. Although peaking at just #197 on the Billboard 200, the album still proved consistent in sales, eventually going Gold for sales in excess of 500,000.
The original album is divided in three parts : Vocal, Instrumental and Romantic. The US and UK versions of the album delete most of the instrumental tracks in favor of two extended versions of the main singles. The US version also contained the track "Pacific Walk", an instrumental Euro song.
Ironically the success in the Dutch market was initially limited, since the band mainly relied on their Belgian producers/songwriters, who preferred to focus their attention on the British market.Get Ready!
