My promo 45 on this has ONLY an edited mono version on both sides. It is listed as (3:19), but is actually (3:25). If a song went past 4:00 while listening to Top 40, my internal "warning-too long for AM" buzzer went off; it never did on this one, concluding I must've heard only this short version on '71 radio. Got played everywhere; J5 still ridin' that "4 #1 hits in '70" momentum.

Interesting comment Jim. My dj copy runs (4:31) even though the label states (4:29) and is mono on one side, stereo on the other but both run (4:31). I have already added your (3:25) edit information to the database.

I have the dj copy that runs 4:31 (label states 4:29) as well. Thinking I could recreate this fade from the LP version, discovered at about 4:29 on the LP version, there is some instrumentation that overpowers the vocal, whereas on the promo 45, the same instrumentation is buried behind the vocal.

The database note next to the song title lists times for the DJ and stock 45s. It doesn't mention anything about the LP run time, nor does it have comments next to the CD listings. Stereo versions on CD run between (4:38) and (4:44). Pat, do you know the actual LP run time on this?

There is at least one difference between the 45 version and every stereo version I've heard. On the stereo version at (2:04), after Michael has sung the chorus for the first time, his brothers sing "Maybe she won't." This line was mixed out of the 45 version.

I don't think it got played in Boston. I don't remember the song, and a check of summer '71 surveys from both WMEX and WRKO shows that it didn't chart on either station. Gave a listen to it on the Anthology album, and it didn't sound familiar.
Both stations were being affected by FM competition (mostly album-rock WBCN), and were steering clear of some of the more blatant teenybopper songs that summer/fall (though I did see songs by the Partridge Family & various Osmonds charted).

That one got a decent amount of play at WCRO in Johnstown, PA.
Paul C is correct about the vocal at 2:04 in the stereo mix.
I always thought the song was a bit tedious and didn't have a great hook like their other hits.
It peaked #20 on the Billboard pop chart, I wonder if it did better on the R&B side?

Much better on the R&B chart (peaked at #3 for 2 weeks).

I created my own short version after listening to a dub of the short promo 45.

My own promo of this song runs 4:29.

The short promo version is not on CD
yet correct?

Correct. And thanks for the heads-up on the release date of Complete
Motown Singles 1972: 12B, Santi. I was gonna Google it myself this weekend,
figuring they'd want to get it out before Christmas, now that the Stevie
Wonder 1972 song issues have finally been resolved.

I was trying to find the short DJ promo edit on You Tube, but had no luck. Does anybody have the edit points for this song? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim

Starting with the mono version on the Complete Motown Singles box, remove the segment between 1:58 and 2:56 (just before the word "maybe" in both places). Fade out the remaining audio from 3:06 to 3:24. The last words heard on the promo are "you'll come back to my..."

I remember hearing the short mono DJ edit of "Maybe
Tomorrow" on an FM station in New York and liking it
because it was perky (even though I didn't like the
unedited version much). Not consciously realizing it
was a different version, I was disappointed after
buying the 45 at Woolworth's because it was the
tedious (too) long version. (Unhappy that the DJ edit
didn't appear on the 1971 "Complete" Motown Singles
box set. I had to make my own edit!)

Another thumbs down moment was purchasing the 45 of
"Walk on the Wild Side" by Lou Reed, so punchy on 97
WWDJ AM radio from New Jersey, but thin-sounding on
the stock copy. (I recently heard a rerun of Casey
Kasum's American Top 40 where he played this beefed-up
mix just as I had remembered hearing it decades
earlier!)

Yet another bummer was buying a stock copy of "The
Best Disco In Town" by the Ritchie Family and
disliking the two-part treatment that split the song
in half, while AM giant 77 WABC in New York played a
radio-only edit that contained both verses of
the medley!

It wasn't until years later that I discovered radio
stations were serviced with specially edited or
remixed versions of some singles, which explained such
aural deceptions.
