    Posted: 20 August 2009 at 12:07pm
I have a version of Babyface featuring LL Cool J, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels' "This Is for the Lover in You" on my Promo Only Mainstream Radio subscription CD series that's billed as the "Edit with No Rap" and has an actual run time of 3:28. This version was likely serviced to Top 40 radio stations, which strongly suggests there was an official promo CD single release bearing this version.

Does anyone have a promo CD single copy of "This Is for the Lover in You" who can furnish the pertinent details regarding track listings and run time info?

I have two different promos for this song, and I'll provide details when I get home. There's a good chance that the actual discs are stored at my parents' house in Michigan, but I will be able to provide the track listing at the very least.

my commercial cd single issued as epic 78443 contains the below tracks

this is for the lover in you
featuring ll cool j, howard hewett, jody watley and jeffrey daniels

1-"that kind of man" (extended mix) (mixed by jon gass) (5:13)
2-"honey lookin' laced" (extended mix) (mixed by rich travali (5:30)
3-instrumental mixed by jon gass (5:13)

i also have a promo cd single for the song with NO catalog number but issued by epic which contains the following tracks and ONLY credited as babyface

"this is for the lover in you"
1-radio edit w/o rap (4:12)
2-puffy's mix w/o rap (3:43)

what's odd is that on the cardboard sleeve back it states that the promo cd single came with 8 tracks, but there are only 2

babyface
this is for the lover in you (the remixes)
1-radio edit w/o rap
2-puffy's mix w/o rap
3-puffy's face to face mix (featuring ghostface killah)
4-jon-john mix
5-trackmasters mix
6-timbaland mix
7-instrumental
8-a capella

I have a promo, but I'm not at home now, either. If it's different from Aaron's and he gets to it before I do, I'll post it later tonight.

I just pulled up my database for details on my promo CD, which is currently packed away and inaccessible. Here's the tracks:

Catalog # 8668
1. Radio Edit/Babyface
2. Radio Edit/LL Cool J
3. Acapella
4. Instrumental

The other CD single actually turns out to be the commercial one that Ed has listed above (although we received it at my old station).

Promo, Catalog # 8668

1. Radio Edit/Babyface - actual 3:59
2. Radio Edit/LL Cool J - actual 4:00
3. Acapella - actual 5:06
4. Instrumental - actual 5:07

I believe the Radio Edit/Babyface was the cassingle version, but what made me think that I now have NO idea. God, I wish I hadn't tossed my cassingles when I moved to Los Angeles from Seattle.

EDIT: Okay, it appears that both the 2-track cassingle and the vinyl 45 (yes, there was one) had the "That Kind of Man" mix on the A-side and the "Honey Lookin' Laced" mix on the B-side.

It sounds to my ears like Radio Edit/Babyface is an edit of the "That Kind of Man" mix and the Radio Edit/LL Cool J is an edit of "Honey Lookin' Laced" mix. This would mean my recollection (for a change) is probably correct. Have not been able to verify running times on the cassingle and 45 yet, though I remember that I specifically sought out the promo back in 1996 (with some trouble) because the cassingle version was SHORTER than the commercial CD single version.
