Here's an interesting update to this story. I checked YouTube and now there's a video of Anne Marie singing "Rockabye" live on a TV show (without Sean Paul) and she's singing that missing 2nd verse!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ7r75sNXKw

The vocal in the 2nd verse is live and a little different from the studio version we've heard, so that previous mystery version with the 2nd verse by Anne Marie could NOT have been taken from this video.

But it's interesting that Anne Marie is performing the song this way. It makes sense since she doesn't have Sean to go on tour with her all over the place.

So, clearly she's performing the song live with that special 2nd verse. But we still don't know where the studio recording comes from or can be gotten from (in CD quality).]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2018 03:20:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=49738&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#49738 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=49556&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#49556 Author: PopArchivist

I can say I asked my UK contacts and no one seems to know where this version is available, if at all even as a promo. In my opinion I don't think its better than the Sean Paul version, but I will keep looking for it.

Most recently I was shocked to learn that American Boy had a No Rap Edit and here I thought Kanye West was essential to the song! So I am never shocked when a no rap edit appears on a song that clearly needs the rap...]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2018 13:18:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=49556&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#49556 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=49507&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#49507 Author: EdisonLite

OK, I have my theory about what went on here with "Rockabye". The truly no-rap, no-Sean Paul version on YouTube has a unique 2nd verse sung by Anne-Marie (and unique piece of intro) that you just can't find anywhere else. The person who posted it on YouTube doesn't know exactly where it came from (or wouldn't admit it) but it probably didn't come off a CD they had or they'd likely just say. Months of online searching for UK various artist CDs and a promo CD reveals no version like the YouTube one. In fact, every V.A. UK comp CD lists Sean Paul along with Anne Marie.

Aaron makes an interesting point that the TM Century Disc listed as "no rap" doesn't credit Sean Paul at all, even though he's singing an entire verse and rapping over the intro, etc. That's odd.

I believe the version that was sent to TM Century from the UK label was a mistake (an incorrect version) and that they meant to send the one that this YouTube person posted. I say that because TM Century credits their version as "Rockabye (no rap)" by Clean Bandit ft. Anne Marie. (And they don't credit Sean Paul at all).

That's the exact description as that mystery version on YouTube. Yet, the No Rap version that TM Century has on their UK CD series doesn't list Sean Paul at all, yet he's clearly singing an entire verse and rapping in a few places - not the way you'd credit this version that prominently features Sean Paul.

So my theory is this. Based on the fact that no UK Various Artist Comp has ever included a non-Sean Paul version and no promo CD single has ever showed up once on ebay or elsewhere that contains this version (and apparently a non-Sean Paul version got lots of UK play) - and clearly this YouTube poster couldn't have just added a 2nd verse with Anne Marie singing that's not available anywhere (seemingly), I believe there must be some kind of UK service similar to TM Century HitDiscs that was sent the correct "no rap" version, and someone shared it or someone posted it on YouTube. And I don't believe an actual promo CD single exists for it. (Much of the special versions on TM Century Discs these days don't have promo CD equivalents - because they're sent digitally to TM Century.) And people who have a subscription don't get CDs in the mail anymore. They must download WAVs online.

So my question is - does anyone know of any UK-located services that are the equivalent of TM Century? I'll bet they have it.

The quality of the YouTube truly-no-rap version is actually quite good, but I tested it, and it's lossy. So what I did was take the parts from the lossless TM Century "no-rap" file I have and edit in the parts from the unique YouTube portions so that I'd have the no-rap, no Sean version on YouTube - and about 80% of it is lossless. Which is better than having the YouTube version which, of course, is lossy all the way through.

I got this response from the person who posted the video on YouTube (I'd asked if it was available on CD or a website that sells mp3s):

It’s a radio version, if people don’t like Sean Paul. I’m not sure if it’s on CD’s or something, but I’ll let you know if I find out. ;)

- it sounds to me that this person probably got it off another website and doesn't know where you can get it.

The mystery continues on as to where this comes from.

If you're referring to the version on YouTube, I don't think so. It contains a verse not on the commercial release or the "no rap" version on TM.

If you're asking about the TM "no rap" version being custom to TM, it was released the same week as the regular version and contains sections not found in the regular version, which leads me to believe it must have been sent by the record label.

Either way, TM couldn't have custom-made either version because it contains parts they wouldn't have access to from the regular version.]]> Sun, 14 Jan 2018 01:12:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48819&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48819 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48818&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48818 Author: eriejwg

Could this be a custom TM Studios edit?]]> Sun, 14 Jan 2018 01:01:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48818&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48818 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48817&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48817 Author: EdisonLite

There might be a little confusion here. TM Studios puts out HitDiscs A, B, C & UK. (A, B & C are based on genre, while UK is all genres, primarily for UK radio - but stations in the US can subscribe to the UK series if they feel it may contain songs good for their playlists.) So TM's "no rap" version, while on the UK version of HitDiscs, is not a non-Sean version, and is missing the Anne-Marie sung 2nd verse. (And yes, it's not on the A disc, so US stations likely never played it.) Still, the "no rap" version on HitDiscs, whether exclusive to the UK or not, is not the version on the YouTube video above, which still brings up the mystery of what UK promo, if any, that may be available on. There are over 100 comments on that YouTube video - I've since looked through most to see if the poster has answered this question for anyone. It's not in the description on top, however. (I just asked the person who put up the post - maybe they'll actually answer!)

Gary, you beat me to the punch. The No Rap edit is only
on a UK release so this may be a UK edit only.]]> Sat, 13 Jan 2018 18:01:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48816&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48816 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48815&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48815 Author: Gary

[QUOTE=EdisonLite] * a "no-rap version" (which is actually more like a "less rap" version because it includes Sean Paul rapping and singing - but it has less rap).

Yes this version is put out by TM Studios, but it exclusive only on the UK disc that they release to radio stations in Europe. ]]> Sat, 13 Jan 2018 18:00:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48815&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48815 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48814&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48814 Author: aaronk

That's interesting about the "No Rap" version on the TM Century release. They
don't credit Sean Paul at all, so I'm surprised he's still on it.]]> Sat, 13 Jan 2018 17:07:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8878&PID=48814&title=clean-bandit-rockabye#48814
