That is true, I've seen it myself. Released promotionally is indeed an oxymoron. The way I see it is... a lot of people say 'conversating' and 'literally' when they actually mean 'figurately'. It doesn't make it right. That is one of my biggest pet peeves, people using 'literally' all the time. "It literally blew my mind off". Oy. |

[QUOTE]Why would it be incorrect? There are a Single
Version and an Album Version. Whether a particularly mix was released commercially or not, it doesn't negate their existence. The single versions of Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover and Two Princes were included on the promo singles but not on the commercial CD singles. As a long time collector, you must know that as the 90s progressed a lot of commercial singles included 'Album Version' s instead of 'Single Version' s. [QUOTE] It's incorrect in the sense that it gives people the impression that if they were to seek out a copy of the commercial single themselves, that that's the version they'd be getting (meaning the 3:50 version, when in fact they'd be getting the 4:06 album version). That's why I said it would be more accurate to call it a "Promo Single Edit", since it only appears on a promo single. If "released" means "released commercially", that would give all the more reason to say the 4:06 version is the correct single version. [QUOTE] By your logic, the single version of Alanis Morrissette's You Oughta Know would be the Live Version, as it was that mix that was released commercially as a double-A side with Ironic. [QUOTE] Nope, not at all. To me, there is no single version of that song in the US since it wasn't released commercially. The versions on the promo CD singles are just that - promo versions. The live version is what it is - a live B-Side. That's far from being an official single version. Plus, the live version was the B-Side of "You Learn" in the US, not "Ironic", unless you were referring to the configurations of the "Ironic" single in the UK and France, where it was one of the B-Sides of their singles.

[QUOTE]Released has always meant 'commercially released' (that's
literally the meaning of the word)[QUOTE] Does it literally mean that? So all of the unearthed “bonus tracks” from the vaults that often surface on reissues or deluxe editions that have never before been heard by anyone in the public, are as equally “unreleased” as a song promoted to radio stations? If not, what should they be termed...”unreleased and unpromoted”? Edited by Michaeldila |
