Dubs...acapellas and Bonus Beats

dancing jig

LETS DISCUSS!

Man these things use to be garbage to me when I was little buying extended versions, but NOW I UNDERSTAND!!!

I wish artists....(more so the producers) would re-emerge and do the work that was with these single bonus tracks on a maxi single.

what are your favorites?

I really like the Dub of I Didnt Mean To Turn you On -Cherelle

Janet Jackson - When I Think Of You (Screwed By Cinister Cee)


came from either the "acapella" or "dub" version of the song just slowed down because the drums on it are so cool.

That's another thing that's funny... "Nasty" acapella has some drums in it! whofarted


What about the acapella for Aaliyah "Are You That Somebody?"... it has Timbaland beatboxing, then so does the instrumental.

Man, A few days ago I listened to Whitney's "So Emotional" complete single and I really liked the Bonus Beats version. In the past I never quite understood these Dubs and Beats, but you can get other sides of the song.

I also got some great versions for Whitney's "I belong to you", a great track whose mixes don't sound dated (as the album version).

In fact, I've been trying to get "Dub will save the day", but I think it's not on cd (if it ever was).

My faves are the ones made for Whitney, George Michael (Monkey), and Madonna, among others

Hmmmm. I never sought out her extended versions and stuff. I always seen those special George Michael versions (especially Hard Day..that has gotta be tight) but never bought them.

I was listening to the acapella of Colonel Abrams "Trapped" around Thanksgiving time. Just some jammin electro toms come in during the hook.

I used to mix Taylor Daynes "Tell It To My Heart" (Acapella) with the dub mix of Whitney's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" Excellent Blend!
