This International version of this smash hit album contains the regular (red) pop mixes on disc one, plus the exclusive world/rhythmic sound mixes (blue) on disc two. The blue disc is exclusive to this version and is not scheduled to be released in the USA. Mercury. 2002.
Up! International Version Reviews:
Up! The blue disc is awesome!!! 
2007-04-19 - I had ordered the Up! International version and I must say I loved the blue disc so much! The songs are very beautifully mixed in with Indian instruments and it brings new flavor to the Up! songs on the green and red disc (which I might add I love also).
All three discs accompany each other and each disc are different for the different genre of Shania's fans: Country, pop and rock, and finally her international fans.
I love 'I'm Jealous' on the blue disc. It is very beautifully written and mixed and each Indian instruments help bring out a deep-slow moving ballad that touches the heart. A beautiful love song!!!
Others that I love are C'est La Vie, I'm Gonna Getcha Good, In My Car I'll Be The Driver, I'm Not In The Mood To Say No.
The Blue disc is a must for any Shania Twain fans!
One of the best CD's. 
2007-01-10 - Well, what can I say about Shania except that she's very talented. She hasn't made an album that I didn't like. I love this CD. Has a lot of songs that I really like. The green CD (Country) is the best. The red CD (Pop) is good. The blue CD (International) is a bit strange. The music on the green and red CD's accompany well, but the blue just doesn't seem to fit. If you want to take a chance, then buy the International version which includes the red and blue CD's. Otherwise, just stick to the US version which includes the green and red CD's.
A musical experiment love it or hate it 
2006-04-28 - Up international~ I have the American edition but i have got to listen to the cd tracks through the genius creation of the net. It is very different and Americans and pop influenced areas of the UK, Australia etc. all have to realize we are hearing music style that is accepted in the global market that Shania was targeting. It isn't what we're used to at all but in respect it is unique to us and just strange but thats because it's new. Tracks on the blue version like, Juanita, I'm Jealous, Pretty Face, Forever For Always and Ka- Ching best showcase what Shania was wanting to achieve. This version doesn't fit all the songs and it is an experience that just has to be appreciated because it was saying to all her fans hey I want you guys to enjoy me too!!
I still say everyone should give it some credit even if it is so different.
If you like hard rock then it's OK 
2006-04-24 - I thought I was buying a country record but except for 2 or 3
nice songs the rest is screatching electric guitars, 3 sets
of drums, shouting back vocals....it's hard rock and I hate
that.
The grean CD - supposed to be the Country versions - is pure
nonsense. It's somewhat less noisy and you hear some more
steel guitar. I just do not understand how Shania is considered
as a country artist. She probably was during the early 90's but
after the interruption of Garth Brooks, Country music changed
into heavy rock and Nashville didn't stop this trend towards it.
If you like Country and want to listen to it you will have to
buy remastered versions of artists from the 60's, 70's and 80's
like I do. Nowadays -again- I inmensely enjoy listening to f.e.
Gene Watson, Johnny Duncan, Johnny Lee, Moe Bandy, Charlie Rich
etc. etc. etc. That's what I call Country and not this "heavy,
punk-like pop rock whatsoever!
International version nothing great
2006-03-20 - The "international" version is nothing more than the American release vocals with an Indian-flavored background band used in place of the rock or country musicians used on the "red" and "green" versions, respectively. Maybe Sade's songs could be "massaged" with this style to create interesting versions of a CD's worth of tunes, but the result on UP sounds goofy and hard to listen to... like you've hired Ravi Shankar to play lead guitar for the Rolling Stones. If this version of Shania's album ever became popular ANYWHERE, I would be really surprised. Stick to the red or green versions of this CD.
