"My Boo" - Ghost Town DJ’s

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have some new information on "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's that can be used to clarify the following CD entries in the 10th Edition:

Boom! (So So Def/Columbia 67532) - "My Boo" runs 5:02 on this various artist compilation CD.  It is an edit of the commercial and LP version, but not a radio edit (see my "DJ edits" message thread for more info on the radio edit).  Therefore, it can be concluded from my CD copy that this 5:02 version is "neither the 45 or LP version".  As noted in the 10th edition, all songs on the Boom! disc are segued together.

Total Dance Explosion (Columbia 68602) - "My Boo" runs 4:08 on this various artist compilation CD and is the "radio edit".  As noted in the 10th edition, all songs on this disc are segued together.

On a side note, the commercial single and LP version of "My Boo" runs 5:45 and appears on the So So Def Bass All Stars CD (So So Def/Columbia 67532).  As noted in the 10th edition, all songs on this disc are segued together.

	Correction: The catalog number for the Boom! CD is (Beast 54112), not (So So Def/Columbia 67532). The latter catalog number was correctly attributed to the So So Def Bass All Stars CD.

	As I re-read this post, I'm thinking it might be more accurate to conclude that the 5:02 version of "My Boo" on Beast 54112 should have the comment "edited" next to it instead of "neither the 45 or LP version". When you take the single and LP version and edit out the section of the song between the 4:55 and 5:38 mark, you end up with the 5:02 version on Beast 54112. Just so I'm clear, when is the comment "neither the 45 or LP version" most appropriately used, as opposed to the comment "edited"? Are they both essentially the same?

	Essentially yes, I use the "edited" and "neither the 45 or LP version" to mean the same thing. On rare occasions I use the term "edited" to indicate that I am missing some factual information. Case in point - Norman connors "You Are My Starship" has the comment "edited" behind the listing for the cd "The Buddah Box". This is neither the 45 or LP version but it is entirely possible that there is a dj edit that was issued running 3:21. I do not have this vinyl 45 promo record so to cover my ass should I obtain a copy in the future to verify where this 3:21 version came from, I simply stated "edited". If anyone has the vinyl dj copy of this song and can verify that there was a 3:21 dj edit then I will add a more concise comment.

	Ok, Pat, then in that case I think it's probably safe to run with my original "neither the 45 or LP version" comment for the 5:02 version of "My Boo".

	At the moment, the database has the following general comment for Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo": (dj copies of this 45 run (4:09) with remixes running (4:04) and (5:46); commercial copies are all (5:45)) Database subscribers may find this info even more helpful if the comment were to include the specific track descriptions on the promo CD single release, as listed in the previous post by eric_a.

	Digging this "ghost" up since it's decided to become a Top 40 hit again. Just want to ask a question about the database entries.... Next to the "So So Def All-Stars" listing is a notation that all of the songs on that CD are segued together. This is 100% accurate, but whenever I see that notation, I generally steer clear because I assume the album is a dance party type comp and wouldn't be the best source for the song since the beginning or the end of the song is probably compromised or at least not clean. In this particular instance though, "So So Def All-Stars" was actually the original parent album for this song, correct? in such a case, would it be helpful to add an additional notation to the database so that users know that this was the original parent album, that this is the way the song has always been, and that there does not exist a source where the song is not segued into the next? Along those same lines, I also realize that perhaps I don't fully understand the "segued" comment and that I might be reading into it too much.

	I wondered why this song re-entered the charts, and I read that it was because of a "Running Man Video" challenge currently going viral. To clarify, not all of the songs on this CD are segued together, although most of them are. The song "My Boo" does not actually have a segue at the beginning, but the end "slams" into the next track. Most of the tracks on the disc have what I call a "slam" mix, which is when one track abruptly ends and the next song begins on-beat. These tracks don't actually overlap at all, like they do on most "dance mix" CDs. As far as I can remember, the LP Radio Edit is an early fade of the full LP version.
