Ed, the Radio Version of "Old School" only appears on the promo 12". The commercial 12" has the same tracks as the commercial CD single, if I'm not mistaken.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:23:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&PID=14617&title=2pac-top-40-hits-on-cd#14617 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&PID=14562&title=2pac-top-40-hits-on-cd#14562 Author: edtop40

I've also been looking for the 3:58 radio version of 'Old School' on CD for years. Aside from the cassette single, I've only been able to find it on a Promo 12-inch vinyl single (DMD 2203), which aside from the radio and LP versions of 'Old School', also has the four versions of 'Dear Mama' that appear on the commercial CD-single jimct mentioned, except the label lists the correct times.


hey paul c.....did it come on the commercial 12" release or only on the promo??

Thanks to Jim, I was able to hear the "Radio Version" of "Dear Mama." I'm very familiar with this song, and I cannot tell any difference between this version and the LP version. I didn't do an A/B comparison, but I've heard this record so many times, I'm sure I would've spotted a difference right away.]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 22:42:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&PID=8228&title=2pac-top-40-hits-on-cd#8228 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&PID=8227&title=2pac-top-40-hits-on-cd#8227 Author: jimct

aaronk wrote: Brian/Jim - does the "Radio Version" of "Dear Mama" even have any words blanked out? The "LP Version" doesn't have any curse words in it, so it makes me wonder if the "Radio Version" is actually just the "LP Version." The "Xtra Clean Version" does blank out a couple words, but they aren't necessarily curse words. At (0:58) the word "crack" is muted; at (2:03) the word "slangin'" is muted; and at (2:06) the word "rock" is blanked out. Obviously, these words were blanked out because they are drug references. Are any of these words muted on the "Radio Version?"

No, Aaron, all three of those words are clearly heard on the "Radio Version." I will shoot this version out to you; your expert ear will quickly be able to discern if the "LP Version" and "Radio Version" are, in fact, one and the same.

As for Billboard's B-side policy, in the mid-1990s it was a complete mess. A B-side seemed to be listed whenever it was receiving any airplay at all. Alanis Morisette's 'You Oughta Know' was listed as a two-sided hit with 'You Learn' about a year after the former had been a radio hit and eventhough the version of 'You Oughta Know' on the B-side of 'You Learn' (at least on the CD and vinyl singles - I don't know about the cassette single) was a live recording from the Grammy telecast. And Jewel's 'Foolish Games' was only listed as the B-side of 'You Were Meant For Me' after a reader pointed out that it was in fact the latter song's B-side. It had actually already been getting airplay for months. Finally around 1997, Billboard instituted a policy that required a B-side to be on the Top 75 airplay chart to be listed on the Hot 100. Since November of 1998, of course, the Hot 100 has been a list of songs - not records - and 2-sided hits are listed separately.

I have three more 2Pac promo CDs:(I have not verified the printed times.)

Changes (INT5P-6488)
1. Radio edit (4:29)
2. Album version (4:29)

Runnin (INTR-11042-2)
1. Clean version (3:48)
2. LP version (3:48)

Thugz Mansion (INTR 10879-2)
1. Radio Edit Clean (3:59)
2. Nas Acoustic Radio Edit Clean (3:57)
