Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On

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

   My promo CD has the following:

PRCD 7480-2

1. Amended Version (3:57)

2. Edit (3:30)

3. Album Version (3:57)

4. Instrumental (3:53)

5. TV Track (3:58)

6. Amended Acappella (3:10)

(There are no printed times on the disc or inserts.)

There is one database CD that runs 3:29.  Most likely, this is the "Edit" from the promo CD.

	That raises an interesting (or obscure) question: what is a TV track and how is it different from an instrumental? Elektra, especially in the '90s, used to put TV tracks on a lot of 12" promos, but I could never understand what that meant. Can anyone explain?

	I think it was intended to be like a "karaoke" version. So, it wasn't a true instrumental, since it still retained some of the background vocals.
