I see your point. I think sometimes us collectors use the phrase "released promotionally," even if it's technically an oxymoron.

That's where the confusion comes in with the Expose CD description, as the Single Version was "released promotionally" in the US.


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”?
