So when I checked the track listing on that album and didn't see the song, I incorrectly concluded it was a 45- only release that later appeared on the Greatest Hits LP. My bad!

The 2018 expanded edition of the
1984 album Heartbeat City
contains seven bonus tracks.
"Tonight She Comes" appears as
track 17 on this release.]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2020 06:26:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=56298&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#56298 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=35536&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#35536 Author: abagon

The database indicates (3:56) as the 45 runtime info. My commercial 45 runs (3:53), the listed time is "3:52" on the record label. My 45 is the same as the Greatest Hits vinyl LP. The matrix number etched on the runout groove is (STE-69589-A-1)

Thanks for all the vinyl LP run times you've been contributing recently, Abagon. They're very helpful to me!]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:28:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=35412&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#35412 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=35403&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#35403 Author: abagon

Does anyone have the Cars Greatest Hits vinyl LP who can pass along the song's run time info? I'm curious to know if it runs 3:56 like the 45.

The actual running time of the song on the Cars Greatest Hits vinyl LP is (3:53), the listed time is "3:52" on the LP record label. (Elektra 60464-1)
So immediately, the next song starts from 3:53.45. on the Side Two of the vinyl LP. (Side Two-1. Tonight She Comes. Side Two-2. My Friend's Girl.)

Jim, the credit goes to Ed for his extra-sharp ears on this one. But don't be too hard on yourself, either. While the first wind chime and gong or two are relatively easily heard, the latter two-thirds or so of the tail end are very faint. As your station's official carter, you would have to have drawn the line on this ending. I had to normalize the tail end in order to hear all of it, and when the trail-out groove kicked in, it was one of those moments when one curses for having had the cans cranked.

Your PD and fellow jocks would have formed an angry mob and had your official carter status revoked for having left in what, to their ears, would have sounded like dead air. Or worse: by the time the station's air chain finished with it, it would not have been pretty. :)

Thanks for the double-check/details, John. It is certainly possible that I missed those faint chimes at the end of the song during my earlier, 2007 timing. I didn't ever know of their existance. I never heard them at the ending on any radio station airing, and must've even overlooked it the day we added it back in 1986, as I was the "official carter" of all our current music during that time. Thanks for the new info, guys, and for the record I'll re-pull/re-check my 45 details for the record ASAP. ]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 21:55:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=26676&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#26676 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=26675&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#26675 Author: Yah Shure

Ed, my DJ 45 matches your description regarding the very faint chimes and gongs. Its actual time is (3.55.7). That is also the point where the trail-out groove kicks in. Close enough.

Dead wax details: Specialty (SRC) logo, STE-69589-A-2   1-1. Same song on flip (which I didn't time) is STE-69589-A-1   1-1. The letters are hand-etched, with the "TE" inscribed as a single character on both sides.

Ed, when you make a request like this in the future, could you please provide the deadwax info for your 45 up front? That way, when we go pull/re-check earlier posted timings/provide the deadwax for the other 45 copy, we'll have full details for your copy, and then already be pretty certain in knowing if there were two different commercial 45 pressings for the song or not - thanks.

guys....you may want to revisit this one...my commercial 45 actually runs 3:56 and has wind chimes and gongs which are very faint, but they run after the song ends for about 0:07.....if all can verify this for me i'd be appreciative.... ]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 19:45:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2495&PID=26671&title=cars-tonight-she-comes-run-time#26671
