The song "I'll Be Missing You" appears on the Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute CD, in a version that runs (4:03), or about a minute shorter than the 45 version. Anybody have any idea where this version came from? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| If it is simply an early fade of the version found on the CD maxi single, then that is the DJ edit. The promo single fades the song to about (4:03). |

A friend of mine just gave me an extremely rare and unique promo CD single of "I'll Be Missing You." It simply credits Puff Daddy, and it's on a factory pressed disc with plain black lettering. There is no artwork, but it does have a catalog number:
BBPCD-9111 RE-1 1. Special Version (printed 4:15; actual 4:30) I had never heard this version before, but it combines "Every Breath You Take" by The Police with the Puff Daddy version. It sounds like a bit of a rush job, and I'd bet money that Puff Daddy did not have a hand in it. It's a little sloppy, but still it's cool to hear. The standard promo CD single contains the following: BBPCD-9095 1. I'll Be Missing You (printed 4:00; actual 4:03) 2. We'll Always Love Big Poppa (printed 3:42; actual 3:43) (This is a different song performed by The Lox.) ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

The special version listed above has not been incorporated into the database, but I thought it should be included, given that it is an official Bad Boy produced version. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Could the version be taken from Puff and Sting's performance at the MTV VMAs (or maybe that was what they used at the performance)? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Nope, I remember that performance, and Sting sang live. The version on this promo contains both of the original recordings spliced together in sort of a medley arrangement. Like I said, it's a cool concept, but the editing is a bit lackluster.
HOWEVER, the MTV performance could have been the inspiration for this version. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
