INOJ - Love You Down

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My promo CD single for "Love You Down" by INOJ (CSK 2930) contains:

1. Album Version (printed & actual 4:19)

2. Instrumental (printed & actual 4:19)

My commercial CD single (44K 78802) contains:

1. LP Version (printed 4:18; actual 4:19)

2. Mixologist Mix (printed & actual 5:52)

3. Jonis Mix (printed & actual 4:30)

tracks 4 & 5 are "Freak It" by Lathun

What's interesting is that the "Album Version" and "LP Version" are not exactly the same.  The promo single has a unique first note, which is probably in error.  On this version, the higher-pitched keyboard that sounds sort of like bells comes in about a half second late.  It's as if the producer forgot to turn on the fader/channel.

	Aaron, when you have a moment can you check to see if the "Album Version" and "LP Version" from the promo and commercial CD single have the same ending? Reason why I'm asking has to do with the end. The version used on Hot Hits Pop/TM Century/Promo Only has the same cold fade at the end but it sounds like a synth note (best way I can describe it) is placed over the cold fade in error. I never remembered hearing this anomaly on air in 1997/98.

	The promo comps you mention take the song from the full-length album, so what you're hearing is the first note of the next song from So-So Def Bass All Stars Vol. II. The database has a notation that this song segues into the next track. Both the promo CD and commercial CD singles, while different because of the first note, do not have the first note of the next song. This is the way I remember hearing it on the air in 1998. I would guess that many stations played it from the promo CD single (not the commercial single), so it probably had the slightly different first note when you heard it on the air.
