my full length cd of "this is how we do it" contains as track three the song "this is how we do it" which runs 3:56 and is identical to the version that is on the commercial cassingle issued as PMP/RAL 851468..........the database says that there is 0:40 of coda.........is it possible that there are 2 versions of this cd.........or is it that the 0:40 coda is really from track 2 that lapse into track 3........anyone?

What I've always wondered about this song is that several radio stations have played a version that has a completely different vocal take. I've never been able to figure out where this comes from. The background track is the same, and I believe it's a version without rap (if my memory serves me right). Montell sings kind of off key in this version, but it's not live. I'm wondering if early DJ copies had this mix, and then he resung it to improve his vocals for the final LP mix.

I do have a promo CD for that song with both a rapless version (called Radio Edit, running an actual 3:38, and called Radio Mix on the import), plus the LP Version, but both sound to me to be the same vocal take that is on the commercial single.

Yes, I used to play that promo single on the air, and it's the same vocal take as the album. There's another version floating around somewhere.

There is another promo CD that has an alternate lead vocal to the one that appears on the LP and single. I don't have it in front of me to give the exact catalog number but I did get copy back in '95.

Thanks, Jeff. Any other info on this mix? Was it an earlier issue? I never liked it, because he was singing off-key in several parts of the song.

Hi Aaron. Yes I do think the version that slipped out on that promo CD single, might have been an earlier vocal take that shouldn't have been released. The commercial CD, cassette single, and 12" did not have this version.

Revisiting this, my version from RPM Top Hits USA runs 3:32, whereas the 45 version runs about 25 seconds longer.
Was the RPM version the same as Jeff H's promo CD single? |

My only promo CD single for this, (PRCD 6912-2), on the front of the disc itself, states only one track, the (LP Version - 3:59). However, a sticker on the front of my jewel case says, "(PRCD 6912-2) Montell Jordan-This Is How We Do It, contains 1-Radio Edit (listed 3:34; actual 3:38), and 2-LP Version (listed 3:52; actual 3:57)". (I added the actual timings.) This promo CD single does, in fact, have the two tracks stated on the sticker, in what appears to have been a simple promo CD single production error.
