Re: Hopes for Butterfly EPs (94,920) (94,923) by David from Australia Thanks for the recap Bill. Very much appreciated. That would've taken a while. MC really spoilt the lambs that era. I own most of the CD releases but as you mentioned, those ridiculously expensive South African promo CDs have always been the ones that got away. I saw one on eBay going for over a grand which I cannot justify splurging on anymore as I get older haha. I miss the days when I could spend all my weekly earnings on a rare Mariah CD lol. I think the Number Ones era will be a seperate week so you can have a rest till then haha. (Monday 17 August 2020; 00:25)

Hopes for Butterfly EPs (94,920) by Bill from the UK As promised, below are my hopes for the Butterfly remix EPs, should MC choose to carry on the trend. Butterfly was plentiful with remixes, some very, very rare ones as well. It would be great to have these available for all to enjoy. *Denotes vinyl only release Honey: 1. Bad Boy Remix 2. Smooth Version With Intro 3. Smooth Version No Intro 4. Classic Mix 5. Classic Instrumental 6. So So Def Mix 7. So So Def Radio Mix 8. Morales Club Dub 9. Mo' Honey Dub 10. Def Club Mix 11. Morales Dub 12. Def Rascal Anthem* 13. Rascal Dub* Butterfly: 1. Meme's Extended Club Mix 2. Meme Club Radio 3. Meme Latin Beats 4. Meme's Extended Club Mix - Parts 1 &2 5. TV Track 6. TV Track Short 7. Instrumental 8. Radio Instrumental 9. Sambatterfly Edit 10. Sambatterfly 11. Sambatterfly for Clubbers 12. Classic Bossa Nova All of the above remixes are incredibly rare and only available on two hard to find (and hard to afford) South American promo CDs. That said, they are fantastic mixes, especially the Bossa Nova. I have separated out Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise), but given it is only two mixes, presumably this will be grouped with the Butterfly remixes above, should they be released. Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise): 1. Fly Away Club Mix 2. Def 'B' Fly Mix Breakdown: 1. Radio Edit 2. The Mo' Thugs Remix Only two remixes for Breakdown - a shorter Radio Edit, and then a stretched out Mo' Thugs Remix. It would be a shame if these didn't appear as The Mo' Thugs Remix is quite enjoyable with the extra verses. As Breakdown was technically a double-A side with My All (in the US at least), here's hoping they are affixed at the end of the My All EP. The Roof (Back In Time): 1. Mobb Deep Edit (AKA Radio Edit/Mix) 2. Mobb Deep Remix (AKA Remix with Mobb Deep) 3. Mobb Deep Extended Version 4. Full Crew Radio Edit - No Rap 5. Full Crews' Club Mix 6. Full Crew Club Mix 7. Morales Radio Mix 8. Funky Club Mix (AKA Morales Funky Club Mix) 9. After Hours Mix* 10. Bass Man Mix* My worry here is the similarly titled Full Crews' Club Mix and Full Crew Club Mix will see one of them not make it onto the EP (much like the Make It Happen Radio Edit that wasn't on the EP because, I assume, it shared the same title as the edited LP Version as was subsequently overlooked). My All: 1. Classic Radio Mix (AKA Classic Radio Club Mix, Morales Classic Radio Mix/Edit) 2. Classic Club Mix 3. Morales "Def" Club Mix 4. "My" Club Mix 5. Def Club Mix* 6. So So Def Remix (AKA JD Remix) 7. So So Def Remix Without Rap 8. So So Def Remix Instrumental* 9. So So Def Remix A Cappella* 10. Full Crew Radio Mix 11. Full Crew Main Mix 12. Full Crew Main Mix Without Rap* 13. Full Crew Main Mix Instrumental* Okay so lots of explaining to do with this one. I am unsure if the Def Club Mix is in fact, one of the Morales Club mixes. It has only be issued on one promotional vinyl release, and could have easily been mis-titled when pressed. The Instrumental and A Cappella of the So So Def Remix are, again, only found on one promotional vinyl release, which doesn't look official (white label), so I doubt they will appear. Mi Todo: 1. Original Version 2. Version Por Una Noche Mas 3. Version Mi Fiesta 4. Por Una Noche Mas En Los Clubs 5. Por Una Noche Mas Instrumental I have separated out Mi Todo from the My All EP. I really, really hope these mixes are released. I know the Spanish Versions of Hero and Open Arms have (yet) to be issued, but given the treatment Mi Todo was given at the time, by having some club mixes commissioned for the release, it would be brilliant to see these very rare mixes available to stream and purchase. I'm debating with myself whether to include the #1's era with the post, but this message is already too long lol. As always, if anything has been missed, please let me know.

Re: EP recap (94,913) (94,919) by Bill from the UK Sorry all, an update to my original post. In the Mariah Carey grouping, I should have also included the Radio Edit for I Don't Wanna Cry, apologies. This was only available on the US promo CD and, I assume, has not been released for the same reason as Can't Let Go's radio edit - no other remixes to accompany it. Also, goes without saying, but the Merry Christmas era was skipped presumably because it is August. That said, many of the remixes for that album found their way onto the deluxe edition of Merry Christmas released last December, albeit there are some omissions. I'm unsure where/if to group Endless Love. It is my favourite Mariah duet, and a gorgeous song. No offence to Lionel and Diana of course, but Luther and Mariah are much better singers and inject so much warmth into their recording. Remixes for Endless Love: 1. Instrumental 2. Mariah Only 3. Luther Only Very unlikely for these versions to be released during the celebrations, especially the Luther Only version as, well, there's no Mariah on it lol. (Sunday 16 August 2020; 17:16)

Re: EP recap (94,916) (94,918) by Bill from the UK Thank you Xavier, I'm glad fans are finding it useful and it feels good to put my knowledge to use for a change haha. Oh, why did my brain decide to retain information about Mariah Carey remixes over algebra lol. (Sunday 16 August 2020; 11:11)

Re: EP recap (94,913) (94,917) by Korey2 from United Stated Thank you for taking the time to do this. I actually really enjoyed the information. All good to know. Hopefully she will share some of those b-sides soon. Can you hear me? (Sunday 16 August 2020; 06:43)

Re: EP recap (94,913) (94,916) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I am one of those three. Lol. Very interesting. Thanks and keep up the good work. (Sunday 16 August 2020; 00:36)

Re: Underneath the Stars - video (94,911) (94,915) by Billy from Greece Yes enwar, exactly my thoughts. I also assumed that it was just a performance video and I got those Butterfly vibes you mention. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 19:26)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,912) (94,914) by Bill from the UK Haha thank you David. That's my job for tomorrow afternoon, don't worry lol. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 18:34)

EP recap (94,913) by Bill from the UK Hi all. I'm going to bore you all to death with an EP Recap series, so brace yourself. I think only about 3 people will be interested in this, so skip over if not your thing. Missed remixes: Mariah Carey: Medley Suspected reason: not really a remix per se, and it was horrendously edited together. Emotions: Can't Let Go (Edit with Intro) Can't Let Go (Edit without Intro) Make It Happen (Extended Version Radio Edit)* Emotional Rescue Medley Suspected reason: no other remixes other than the radio edits were made for Can't Let Go (to my knowledge). The edit with the intro appeared on all single releases, the edit without the intro (begins at the "even though I try" keyboard after the opening chords, otherwise the same as the commercial version with the removed whistle note at the end) was only present on a promo 7" and a promo mastering CD, so may not have even been an official edit intended for release. Therefore, with no other remixes to accompany it's not really feasible to release an "EP" with one track lol. *This may have got missed as it was actually titled "Radio Edit" alongside the edit of the album version. This is however a shortened version of the Extended Version. Whoever was compiling the EP may have seen the same remix title in parenthesis and assumed them to be the same. Potential oversight? I am unsure whether the Emotional Rescue remix medley that appeared on some promo vinyls in the Emotions era is official or not, so may not have been included for that reason. Music Box: Hero (Spanish Version) Suspected reason: MC will include this on a future "B Sides" EP along with Can You Hear Me which I have to mention in every post. Daydream: Fantasy (Puffy's Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Mix) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Dub) Always Be My Baby (Reggae Soul Acapella) Open Arms (Spanish Version) Suspected reason: Open Arms, same reason for Hero's Spanish Version. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Puffy's Mix of Fantasy is identical to the Bad Boy with ODB remix, albeit an echo/some reverb is removed in the rap verse. Understandable. As for Always Be My Baby, I was wondering if the Reggae Soul mixes couldn't get clearance. They very obviously use an (uncredited?) sample from Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth, so maybe they could not be released for streaming/purchase for legalities. I can't see any other reason why they wouldn't have been included. I'll continue this when the best batch are released. I bet y'all can't wait. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 14:11)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,901) (94,912) by David from Australia I've been loving getting all these EP's available on streaming. It's so nice to have something to look forward to every Friday. I always wake up early to see what she's added to streaming services. I can't wait for my favourite era to start next Friday. I wonder what performances she might upload. I hope she includes the Meme remixes. They're amazing and so hard to find. Bill, I'm waiting for your Butterfly era remixes recap haha. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 10:56)

Re: Underneath the Stars - video (94,908) (94,911) by enwar00 from usa I honestly thought the video they shelved was just a performance video from the concert, like the one for Forever, and I guess Hero and Without You, so I honestly never really cared that much years later finding out it was shelved. But seeing the snippet isn't just a performance video definitely leaves me wanting more. I'm getting such a Butterfly video vibe from it. In my opinion, had this been released as a single with full promotion it really could have been a perfect bridge between the Daydream and Butterfly eras. To me the sound and especially vocal stylings foreshadowed the next album. I love MC30. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 07:43)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,910) by Tevin from USA Stacey I literally screamed at work when I saw the UTS clip on my work break. I think everyone thinks I'm crazy now at work lol. It was so worth it. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 04:15)

Re: Rumor (94,907) (94,909) by Bobby A from United States Well, MC owes us an album this year. She has been in the studio in her Tribeca apartment all year. Jermaine and Johnta were called in this month. She is about drop it like it is hot in September. Lol. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 03:12)

Underneath the Stars - video (94,908) by Billy from Greece This is monumental, I can't believe it. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 01:22)

Re: Rumor (94,903) (94,907) by Jamie from UK I once over heard a guy talking at a concert that apparently there is a [whole] albums worth of tracks from between Music Box and Daydream that [were] scrapped in favour of merry Christmas. Here's hoping. (Saturday 15 August 2020; 00:31)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,906) by Terna from Nigeria A visual from the "Daydream" era making it out for the first time in 2020, 25 years later in the Vevo/streaming era might just be what Mariah needs to tie that 20th Billboard number 1 Beatles record. This is so crazy in a very good mind boggling way. Like who is this woman? (Friday 14 August 2020; 23:11)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,904) (94,905) by Bill from the UK I've just seen the UTS video clip and nearly died. It's real and Mariah has it. Wow. (Friday 14 August 2020; 22:47)

Re: Daydream EPs (94,901) (94,904) by Stacey from USA Daydream. Ok I just shouted that and no one heard me, lol. Did you see the UTS video preview? I got goosebumps watching it. I hope all these teasers are released in full one day. Just so dang talented this lady is. We can argue about this and that, whether Migrate should have been a single or not. But one thing is for sure, her talent is unmatched by any other. (Friday 14 August 2020; 21:19)

Rumor (94,903) by Myles from CT, USA Someone on twitter said they heard a rumor that the big announcement is an album coming out of all her unreleased material. Now I have no idea how valid that claim is, just repeating lol. (Friday 14 August 2020; 19:44)
