   Pat:

Regarding Amerie's "1 Thing", the database currently lists the artist credit as "Amerie featuring LL Cool J".  I believe this is an error as LL Cool J does not appear on the recording.

	One more thing I noticed about "1 Thing" in the database is it runs :04-:05 shorter on the Now 10 various artists CD than on the parent album and soundtrack. Since the Now series frequently uses radio edits and lengths, I'm wondering if the song's slightly shorter length on Now is indicative of a slightly shorter radio length on a promo CD single. Does anyone have a promo single copy who can pass along the track listing and run time info?

	Hmmm... Was this song ever even issued on a promo CD single? I'm not seeing information or evidence of a copy anywhere online.

	I have two Columbia CD-R promos, and neither one has a catalog number. The first one only credits Amerie, and has the following tracks: 1. Radio Edit (actual 4:00) 2. Radio Edit Instrumental (actual 3:58) The second promo says "feat Eve," and she has a rap verse at the beginning of the song and another one toward the end. The version is labeled as "Radio Edit" (no other tracks on the disc) and has a run time of 3:34.

	Thanks, Aaron. Unless there's still a separate official promo CD single somewhere out there for Amerie's "1 Thing", it would appear the Now 10 (Capitol 12133) and Now Party Hits! (Capitol 10767) discs are early fades of the album length. I don't think this song was ever issued on a commercial single format, other than on 12" single (which according to my research contains the album version/length).
