The version listed as 'Radio Edit' on TM Century has the edited intro
but does include 'Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby', overlapping the piano. I remember another 45 edit that started right with the piano. Was this another edit used on a promotional CD? ------------- DJ L. |

Yes, there is a promo cd that has a version without the "baby, baby..."
intro. This is the version my top 40 station used to play, and it's called something like "Piano Intro." ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Interesting, mainrhythm. Their must be two promos. Cut 1 from your copy is the version I remember on-air. ------------- DJ L. |

Yes, cut 1 is also what we played on the air. I also remember having
to cue in a few seconds because there was blank space at the beginning of the track. The "baby, baby..." was removed from the mix, and the blank space is where that vocal would have been. I have the other promo with 4 tracks, and I'll post its details shortly. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Bumping this back up for the pure purpose of finding the catalog # for the
two track promo that mainrhythm listed. 1. Radio Edit (3:40) 2. Piano Intro (3:40) If anyone has this copy could you please provide the info. Thanks! ------------- DJ L. |

It was a thermal printed CD-R. Don't think there was a number.

i have a promo cd single for the song "all my life" by k-
ci & jo jo with NO catalog number issued by MCA with only one track titled "wedding mix" and runs 5:16....the promo cd single is a factory silver backed cd, so it's legit......it starts with piano intro for the first 0:22 of the song.....then at the 0:22 mark he states something inaudible.....then at the 0:30 he sings "i would never find another lover..."....if anyone needs a copy of this version for their review just drop me an email.....edtop40@yahoo.com.........i also have the commercial cd single issued as mca 55420 with a non described version as track one with a listed run time of 5:31 but only runs 5:30.......it starts with a harp or some string instrument for the first 0:36 of the song, then they start singing "baby, baby, baby..." at the 0:36 mark of the song......hope this helps..... ------------- edtop40 |

Thanks, Ed. It seems here that MCA sent 2 other promo CDs to radio without a catalog
number. You have one with just the "Wedding Mix", and mainrhythm has the other one which is the 2 track Radio Edit & Piano Intro. Please note the Radio Edit on mainrhythm's promo is NOT the same Radio Edit on the 4 track promo MCA5P-90100, which Aaron listed previously. Is this common practice for the labels to send dj copies to radio without catalog numbers? ------------- DJ L. |

That's correct, Dave. The Radio Edit on the CD-R does not have the "baby, baby, baby..." vocals on the intro. Other than that, I believe the rest of the track does match up.
By the way, the Radio Edit from the CD-R was issued on a Promo Only Mainstream Radio disc. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

around the time of "All My Life", many of the labels started this practice, especially for "2nd/3rd different-serviced promo CD singles" for a song. But without the "promo stock #s" associated with these discs since their inception, it certainly makes it much harder for "geeks like us" :) to document/track down these specific promo items. It made tons of sense from the label's point-of-view, however. These "officially released by the label, CD-Rs" were often (though not always) digital clones, far quicker/cheaper for them to produce, 98%+ the same quality as "standard, factory-made" promos, in the short-term. This was also right around the time when the majority of CHR radio had switched over to playing music on-air from their station computer's music database, as opposed to loading/playing the actual promo CD singles on-air, as had been the norm since around 1989. So these CD-Rs often had to "hold up" just long enough for stations to do a "one time load-in" to their system. Longer-term durability on these? Definitely not as good, but I bet that was also viewed as a good thing by the labels. Hell, if these CD-Rs "self- destructed" in a couple of years, even better, right? The labels had long ago moved on to other projects. Hope this helps, kind sir! |
