Jay-Z - Girls, Girls, Girls

Although my promo CD for "Girls, Girls, Girls" is packed away at the moment, I can provide a couple details that may be of interest:

DEFR 15474-2 (second issued promo; no printed times on disc)
1. Pop Edit (actual 3:15)
2. Rhythm Edit (actual 4:36)*
3. Instrumental (actual 4:31)
4. Call Out Research Hook

*To my ears, this sounds like the same version on the censored "Blueprint" album; however, the additional two seconds on the run time are because of an extra "yeah" on the tail end. The "Rhythm Edit" on this disc and "Radio Edit" from the below promo CD are identical, including the extra "yeah" at the end.

Now, onto the first issued promo CD, which also has no printed times.

DEFR 15438-2
1. Radio Edit (actual 4:36)
2. Instrumental (actual 4:31)
3. Call Out Research Hook

Finally, there is no mention in the database, but the remix of "Girls, Girls, Girls" (known as "Part 2") appears as a hidden track at the end of the "Blueprint" CD. The only reason I bring this up is because the remix did receive airplay when the song was a hit. My old top 40 station played it on occasion and rotated it with the Radio Edit.

I do not know if the remix (aka "Part 2") was ever issued on a promo CD. My old station's copy was dubbed into the automation system, and I don't know where it was taken from. I presume it came from the full-length clean album, since I've never seen a promo CD for it.

Pat, I should clarify that my copy also has 13 tracks, so the only way to get to the "Girls, Girls, Girls (Part 2)" track is to fast forward through track 13. Also, there are two hidden tracks (I forgot about one of them), so "Girls" doesn't start until somwhere around 7:30.

All on track 13 are:
"Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)"
"Breathe Easy (Lyrical Exercise)"
"Girls, Girls Girls (Part 2)"
