this thread when I get access to it.)

Aaron can you post the promo CD single(s) information when
time permits?]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2022 22:07:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=61538&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#61538 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=36783&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#36783 Author: aaronk

I haven't directly compared the two, but I think the "Mainstream Edit" cuts out one of the verses and adds an additional chorus at the end (by way of editing).]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 16:49:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=36783&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#36783 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=36782&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#36782 Author: Paul C

Upon further research, there was indeed a second promo CD single release of Ja Rule featuring Ashanti's "Always on Time" (Def Jam 15496) with the following tracks and printed run times:

1) Mainstream Pop Edit - 3:32
2) Album Version - 3:58
3) Instrumental - 4:03
4) Call Out Research Hook - :10

If anyone has a copy of this DJ CD single and can pass along the actual run times of the first two tracks, it would be much appreciated. ]]> Sat, 13 Oct 2012 21:35:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=35654&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#35654 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=35646&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#35646 Author: aaronk

Here is some info on the promo CDs for several of Ja Rule's top 40 hits.

Between Me And You
DEFR-15117-2
1. Radio Edit (4:10 listed & actual)
2. Instrumental (4:10 listed & actual)
3. Call Out Research Hook

Put It On Me
(My CD is currently filed away in a box, but I will update this thread when I get access to it.)

Livin' It Up
I have three different promo CDs for this one.

DEFR-15442-2
1. Mainstream Version (3:18 listed & actual)
2. Album Version (4:20 listed & actual)
3. Call Out Research Hook

DEFR 15393-2 (no listed times)
1. Radio Edit (actual 4:20)
2. Instrumental (actual 4:22)

The third promo CD is on a Def Jam CD-R, and there are no tracks or times listed. I can post the details if anyone is interested. The most fascinating track on this promo is the "dirty" version of "Livin' It Up." To date, the dirty version has never been issued anywhere on CD, including the explicit version of the full-length album.

Always On Time
There are at least two promo CDs for this, but I currenly only own one.

DEFR 15441-2 (no listed times)
1. Radio Edit (4:03 actual)
2. Instrumental (4:02 actual)
3. Call Out Research Hook

Mesmerize
I own two promo CDs for this.

DEFR 15789-2 (no listed times)
1. Mainstream Radio Edit (3:36 actual)
2. Album Version (4:38 actual)
3. Instrumental (4:38 actual)
4. Call Out Hook

DEFR 15768-2 (no listed times)
1. Radio (4:39 actual)
2. Instrumental (4:40 actual)
3. Call Out Hook

Most notable between the two promos is that the "Mainstream Radio Edit" contains alternate, cleaner lyrics than the "Radio" and "Album Version." Also, the "Album Version" on the first listed promo is censored, and I'm pretty certain it matches the "Radio" version on the second listed promo.

Ain't It Funny (Jennifer Lopez feat. Ja Rule)
ESK 56672
1. Remix Featuring Ja Rule (3:36 listed; 3:54 actual)
2. Album Version (4:05 listed & actual)

The database does not currently distinguish which is the hit version (only lists "remix" next to J To the L-O CD). I rarely ever heard the album version on the radio in my market. Furthermore, the database lists the song as "featuring Ja Rule," but Ja Rule is not on the album version. Pat, you may need to revisit this entry.]]> Thu, 11 Oct 2012 22:40:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7102&PID=35646&title=ja-rule-promo-cds#35646
