A lot of times I see tracks listed such as this:
Jurgen Vries vs Andrea Britton - Take My Hand
What does the vs mean? Versus? What's the difference between vs and featuring? (ft.)
Just trying to figure out the nomenclature. |

You've got a mislabled MP3, as the correct title is Jurgen Vries Feat. Andrea Britton:
To answer your question, there's no rule between what they mean. In most cases, "Feat." is used when there's a vocalist in the track and "vs" is mostly used when it's a bootleg of 2 tracks ut together, although it often goes either way. |

| "Vs" can also be used when two producers work together to make one track, iirc |

Erm...eat your words......
I have the original white....... signed by Andrea when she did a PA at one of my residencies:
anyway- vs is normally where it has been a white label bootleg, but then released officially- thereby giving both artists due credit and royalties.
Its bascically a way of giving two artists credits for the same track without having one relegated to just a remixer.
Feat. is normally where its a guest vocalist, perhaps on something that was big underground as an instrumental. |

The thread starter said "Jurgen Vries vs..." which to the best of my knowledge it was never released under. |

So you know the word 'nomenclature', but you're unsure of what 'vs.' means? You sir, are a strange, strange person. |

| The original poster didn't say anything about an official release. Do you know what official releases are about? Promotion and money for the label. So piss off, you corporate twat. :stongue: |
