Beside's Jim's station, I wonder how many other stations played the STUDIO version vs. the LIVE version.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 21:18:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20898&title=lately-by-jodeci#20898 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20897&title=lately-by-jodeci#20897 Author: jimct

It appears I have done a very poor job in explaining what actually appears on my promo CD singles, because Pat has just added to his db that "all non-hit studio versions run (6:20)." This is untrue. The listed (4:20), actual (4:22) "Radio" cut, from my first-mentioned #2740 promo, is a STUDIO recording, not live. The listed (4:22), actual (4:30) "Radio" cut, from my third-mentioned #2679 promo, is LIVE, not studio. So, despite both cuts being titled exactly the same: "Radio", these two tracks are COMPLETELY different takes of the same song; one is studio, and one is live.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 21:14:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20897&title=lately-by-jodeci#20897 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20889&title=lately-by-jodeci#20889 Author: jimct

1) I don't believe, so, Andy, based on some of the info included in my answer to question #2.

2) No. There are asterisks next to tracks 1, 2, 3 & 5 of my #2740 P CD S. At the bottom of the paper insert, it says (*Studio versions not available on album). This statement probably extends to single configurations, as Uptown was aggressively working their "Uptown MTV Unplugged" album, but I cannot say with 100% certainty.

3) Second, I believe. You can often go by the catalog # of the P CD S to determine the approximate release sequence, but not always. It has been 16 years, but as I vaguely recall, we did not add the song "out of the box" (as soon as it came in to us.) So, the #2679 (live), #2740 (studio) P CD S sequence seems right to me, with at least two weeks probably going by before we got the studio P CD S in. This certainly lends credibility to Aaron's "studio versions done mainly for BET" thoery.

At the time it was a hit, I don't think "Lately" showed up on any Jodeci album, as it was released live on the Uptown MTV Unplugged album. None of their three studio albums contain this song. Maybe it was only released promotionally for BET video purposes, as was suggested earlier in the thread.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 09:26:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20883&title=lately-by-jodeci#20883 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=20882&title=lately-by-jodeci#20882 Author: AndrewChouffi

I am still confused.

Was the studio version ever released COMMERCIALLY on a single/cassingle/CD single?

Was the studio version released contemporaneously on an album?

Was the studio version released promotionally first or second?

I realize that these questions may have been answered in the above postings, but I need clarification,

Thanks all!

Andy

My friend Todd just mentioned this track in an e-mail to me, so I thought I'd pull what I had for it. Although the studio version was generally considered to be the hit, we opted to play the studio version for it on-the-air in 1993. (We cued past the first :07 1/2 seconds of Cut 1, of the first of the three promo CD singles I own/will list for this song.)

Jodeci-"Lately" (UPT5P-2740) (Cuts 1/2/3/5 are studio)
1-(Radio) (listed 4:20; actual 4:22)
2-(Main) (listed 6:20; actual 6:22)
3-(TV Track) (listed 6:20; actual 6:23)
4-(Extended Live) (listed 5:06; actual 5:14)
5-(World Beat Peace Mix) (listed 6:20; actual 6:23)

Jodeci-"Lately" (UPT5P-2777) (both cuts are live)
1-Pop Edit (listed & actual 4:56)
2-Pop Edit W/O Intro (listed 4:46; actual 4:45)

Jodeci-"Lately" (UPT5P-2679) (both cuts are live)
1-(Radio) (listed 4:22; actual 4:30)
2-(Album Version) (listed 5:06; actual 5:14)

So, there's technically both a studio and a live track for this song, and both of them are titled exactly the same way: (Radio).

my commercial cassingle issued as uptown/mca 54652 contains a non-described version which runs 4:32......the cassingles' face states "original version appears on the mtv-uptown 'unplugged' album upt-10858".....the cassingles face also states "produced 'live' by devante swing for swing mob productions inc"...........the cassingle version is identical to the "radio" version which is found on the usa promo cd single issued as upt5p 2679....this cassingle info should be added to the db.....

At least one version of the video was made with the studio version. Maybe it was so BET wouldn't have to implicitly plug MTV Unplugged in those days before they shared a parent company.]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:07:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=14655&title=lately-by-jodeci#14655 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1099&PID=14646&title=lately-by-jodeci#14646 Author: eriejwg
