| Party Doll and Other Favorites: The Sampler (1999) | ||
|---|---|---|
This four-track promo sampler contains two things that are different from the album - "Almost Home" is the shorter single version of the song (almost a minute shorter), and "Quittin' Time" clocks in at about 20 seconds longer than the album version (it appears to be just additional applause from the audience at the end). |
| |
| Wherever You Are (CD single) (1999) | ||
|---|---|---|
This is a promo single for one of the "new" tracks on Party Doll and Other Favorites. The song is edited to be about half a minute shorter than the album version. |

| Time* Sex* Love* Open-Ended Interview (2001) | ||
|---|---|---|
|
|
Another radio show containing interviews - only this time there is no "interviewer," there are only answers by Mary Chapin Carpenter. The local DJ was supposed to ask the questions, and then play the answer from the CD, to make it sound like MCC was in the studio with them.
