1994
|
1.Recently (Radio Edit) (3:31) 2. Ants Marching (Radio Edit) (4:36) 3. Tripping Billies (Radio Edit) (4:45) 4 The Song that Jane Likes (Radio Edit) (3:23) |
Perhaps the rarest
of all of the DMB promo discs, this was part of a double disc put out
by the Album Network showcasing up and coming musical acts back in 1994.
At least do yourself the favor of looking at the scans!!

Dave Matthews Band
|
RCA RJC-65661-2
|
1994
|
1. Best of What's Around (UTTAD)
(4:17) |
This is a fantastic
11-track promo the band released right as they were making it big on
commercial radio. This was sent to radio stations shortly after the
release of UTTAD.

What Would You Say
|
RCA RDJ-62994-2
|
1994
|
1. What Would You Say (3:42) |
The track that got
them all started. This was the first promo CD that DMB sent to radio
stations for airplay. Given the invincibilty of the Recently EP, I'm
assuming it was not sent to radio stations.

Jimi Thing
|
RCA RDJ-64258-2
|
1994
|
1. Jimi Thing (Radio Edit) (4:53) 2. All Along the Watchtower (Recently) (7:04) 3. Christmas Song (Remember Two Things) (5:34) 4. Jimi Thing (LP Version) (5:57) |
Other than the BAMA
002 Recently EP, this and Typical Situation are nearly impossible to
find. I don't ever recall hearing this song on the radio either!! A
true gem!!

Typical Situation
|
RCA RDJ-64324-2
|
1994
|
1. Typical Situation (Radio Edit) (3:57) 2. Typical Situation (Acoustic) (3:16) 3. What Would You Say (Live Acoustic) (3:54) 4. Tyipcal Situation (LP Version) (5:59) |
As far as I'm concerned,
this is the crown jewel of the DMB promos. Scintillating artwork and
its extremely limited production make this a must have. I finally picked
one up. Don't ask how much I paid for it either!

Ants Marching
|
RCA RDJ-64350-2
|
1995
|
1. Ants Marching (UTTAD) (4:31) 2. Ants Marching (Live) (4:45) 3. Ants Marching (Acoustic) (4:19) |
This Ants promo
is also very hard to get ahold of as the band had not quite "taken
off" just yet. Believe it or not, this CD is not very easy to come
by as the band had yet to fully take off and produce mass quantities
of promo CDs.

Ants Marching
|
RCA RDJ-64457-2
|
1995
|
1. Ants Marching (Radio Edit) (3:33) 2. Ants Marching (UTTAD) (4:31) 3. Ants Marching (Live) (4:45) 4. Ants Marching (Acoustic) (4:19) |
This particular
Ants Marching promo is very hard to get ahold of. The three track promo
seems to be the more prevalant version. This promo has no front insert.

Satellite
|
RCA RDJ-64453-2
|
1995
|
1. Satellite (Radio Version/Cold) (4:14) 2. Satellite (Radio Version/Fade) (4:22) 3. Satellite (Album Version) (4:50) 4. Christmas Song (Album Version) (5:34) |
Yet another very
hard to locate US promo. This must not have been printed in heavy quantities!
Just a great disc to own! Good luck!

Too Much
|
RCA RDJ-64517-2
|
1996
|
1. Too Much (Album Version) (4:20) 2. Too Much (Radio Edit) (3:45) |
The artwork on this
one is very pleasing to the eye indeed. This one is fairly hard to locate,
but you should be able to find it with a little digging. Definitely
much harder to find than the import versions.

So Much To Say
|
RCA RDJ-64558-2
|
1996
|
1. So Much To Say (Album Version) (4:06) 2. So Much To Say (Radio Edit) (3:05) |
Here we have some
more interesting artwork for a very popular song at the time. This one
is not too prevalent and not the easiest to find.
|

Two Step
|
RCA RDJ-64653-2
|
1996
|
1. Two Step (Radio Edit) (3:53) 2. Two Step (Acoustic) (2/13/1996) (6:26) 3. Crash Into Me (Acoustic) (2/11/1996) (5:18) 4. Typical Situation (Acoustic) (2/6/1996) (6:20) 5. So Much To Say (Acoustic) (date unknown) (3:44) 6. Two Step (Album Version) (6:26) |
Here we have the
most difficult of the Crash singles to find. This CD is a must have
for any Dave & Tim fan with four acoustic tracks. Good luck finding
this one anywhere! Fantastic artwork yet again.

Crash Into Me
|
RCA RDJ-64677-2
|
1996
|
1. Crash Into Me (Radio Edit) (4:15) 2. Crash Into Me (Acoustic) (5:18) 3. Crash Into Me (Album Version) (5:16) |
This one is a little
bit easier to find than the 5 track version below, but still won't come
up an bite you if you're looking for it. I'm a big fan of this CD for
some reason.

Crash Into Me
|
RCA RDJ-64706-2
|
1996
|
1. Crash Into Me (Album Version) (5:16) 2. Ants Marching (Live) (4:45) 3. So Much To Say (Acoustic) (3:44) 4. Crash Into Me (Acoustic) (5:18) 5. Christmas Song (Album) (5:34) |
This is a somewhat
difficult one to find as the three track version was much more widespread.
Not sure as the point of this release as there is no radio edit on this
disc.

Tripping Billies
|
RCA RDJ-64768-2
|
1996
|
1. Tripping Billes (Radio Edit) (4:18) 2. Tripping Billies (Album Version) (5:00) 3. Tripping Billies (Live Acoustic) (5:28) 4. Tripping Billies (Suggestive Callout Hook) (:10) |
Very tough to find
this disc anywhere. This is the only known "suggestive callout
hook" I've ever seen for DMB. Interesting back cover on this one.

Don't Drink the Water
|
RCA RDJ-65459-2
|
1998
|
1. Don't Drink the Water (Radio Edit) (4:35) 2. Don't Drink the Water (Album Version) (7:03) |
This one, while
nice to look at, is not all that exciting to listen to. Fairly easy
to obtain. Very nice looking disc art on this first promo from BTCS.

Stay (Wasting Time)
|
RCA RDJ-65515-2
|
1998
|
1. Stay (Remix Edit) (4:30) 2. Stay (Album Edit) (4:30) 3. Stay (Album Version) (5:35) |
Yet another somewhat
drab promo single from BTCS. Fairly easy to obtain with a little searching
around.

Crush (Test Pressing)
|
RCA RDJ-65593-2
|
1998
|
1. Crush (Radio Edit) (4:12) 2. Crush (Album Version) (8:09) |
Extremely rare test
pressing of the actual Crush promo disc seen below. I believe these
test pressings are sent to major-market radio stations. Very few copies
of each single exist.

Crush
|
RCA RDJ-65593-2
|
1998
|
1. Crush (Radio Edit) (4:12) 2. Crush (Album Version) (8:09) |
This is the most
common version of the Crush promo. Beatiful front cover. The cover really
comes to life when the 300dpi version is viewed on your screen. Send
me an email if you want a 300dpi file.

Crush
|
RCA RDJ-65709-2
|
1999
|
1. Crush (No Intro Radio Edit) (4:12) |
I'm not sure why
this one was ever issued. The only thing I can think of is the prolonged
success of Crush and a demand for a second pressin. This one was pressed
in 1999 while the first pressing was in 1998. No cover art for this
promo disc.

Crush (Live)
|
RCA RDJ-65794-2
|
1999
|
1. Crush (from VH1 Storytellers) (6:31) |
Somewhat hard to
find as there simply weren't that many printed. Comes with a stickered
front jewel case and a back insert.

Rapunzel
|
RCA RDJ-65748-2
|
1999
|
1. Rapunzel (Radio Edit) (4:50) 2. Rapunzel (Album Version) (5:44) |
Very hard to find
as this song never really took off on the radio.

Rapunzel
|
RCA RSP-65748-2
|
1999
|
1. Rapunzel (Radio Edit) (4:50) 2. Rapunzel (Album Version) (6:00) |
Very hard to find
as this song never really took off on the radio and this particular
version was printed in VERY limited quantities. Also note the different
times for the Album versions.

I Did It
|
RCA RDJ-60402-2
|
2001
|
1. I Did It (3:38) |
The first release
from Everyday is about as boring as you can get as far as promo CD's
go. I miss the good old days of fancy artwork and "unreleased"
versions of songs. This song was promoted like crazy, so there are thousands
of copies floating around.

The Space Between
|
RCA RDJ-60437-2
|
2001
|
1. The Space Between (4:02) 2. I Did It (Acoustic) (3:27) |
Yet another quite
boring release from Everyday. This song did fairly well on the radio
so there are thousands of copies out there. Very easy to find.
|

When the World Ends
|
RCA RDJ-60490-2
|
2001
|
1. When the World Ends (Alt. Ending) (3:33) 2. When the World Ends (Album Version) (3:31) 3. When the World Ends (Live Version) (4:17) |
This single was
scheduled for release prior to the 9/11 disaster, so the band decided
to scrap the idea and release Everyday as a single instead.

Everyday
|
RCA RDJ-60502-2
|
2001
|
1.Everyday (Radio Edit) (4:10) 2.Everyday (Album Version) (4:44) 3. Everyday (Live) (9:31) |
This promo comes
with a stickered front jewel case and a that's about it. The live version
of this song is from Soldier Field on July 7, 2001.

Where Are You Going
|
RCA RDJ-60547-2
|
2002
|
1.Where Are You Going (Album Version) (3:52) 2.Where Are You Going (Edit) (3:46) |
Nice to the see
the band go back to a little more elaborate cover art! A rather bland
promo CD, but still miles better than the Everyday stuff!

Grace is Gone
|
RCA RDJ-60547-2
|
2002
|
1. Grace is Gone (Remix Edit) (4:05) 2. Grace is Gone (Remix) (4:37) 3. Grace is Gone (Album Version) (4:38) |
I have a feeling
this song is going to be a huge hit and possibly become the next Crash
Into Me. Good to see three different mixes of this song on the promo.

Grey Street
|
RCA RDJ-60655-2
|
2002
|
1. Grey Street (Rock Remix) (4:28) 2. Grey Street (Album Version) (5:06) |
Very interesting
rock remix. Definitely worth a listen. Pretty boring artwork though.

Gravedigger
|
RCA RDJ-55168-2
|
2003
|
1. Gravedigger (Studio) (3:50) 2. Gravedigger (Acoustic) (3:53) |
The first single
from Dave Matthews' solo album Some Devil. Acoustic version is
quite nice!

Save Me
|
RCA RDJ-57448-2
|
2003
|
1. Save Me (Adult Mix) (3:47) 2. Save Me (Remix) (3:40) 3. Suggested Callout Hook (:10) |
The second single
from Dave Matthews' solo album Some Devil.
|

|
 |
Oh
|
RCA RDJ-60200-2
|
2004
|
1. Oh (Album Version) (2:47) |
The third single
from Dave Matthews' solo album Some Devil. Very few of these
were pressed so this one will be tough to find in a few years.

American Baby
|
RCA 82876-69100-2
|
2005
|
1. American Baby (Radio Edit) (3:42) 2. American Baby (Album Version) (4:36) 3. Suggested Callout Hook (:10) Also includes tracks 1 and 2 in mp3 format. |
The first single
from Stand Up. Includes mp3 versions for some reason. Why would
a radio station want an mp3 version?
|

Dreamgirl
|
RCA 82876-71782-2
|
2005
|
1. Dream Girl (Radio Mix) (3:32) 2. Dream Girl (Album Version) (4:01) 3. Suggested Callout Hook (:10) Also includes tracks 1 and 2 in mp3 format. |
The second single from Stand Up. I don't think this one did too well, so there aren't many copies floating around out there. YEAHHHHHH YEAH YEAHHHHH |

Everybody Wake Up
|
RCA
|
2005
|
1. Everybody Wake Up (xxx) (x:xx) 2. Everybody Wake Up (xxx) (x:xx) |
The third single
from Stand Up. Again, I don't think this one did very well either,
so availability is scarce at best.
