According To Wikipedia, Andy Gibb made it to #40 with his song, "Me (Without You)," one of three new songs on his "Greatest Hits" LP.

The version I have runs 3:40, which basically matches the 3:43 time listed on the labels of all of the singles EXCEPT the singles released in the United States. Both the U.S. promo and the U.S. commercial single labels indicate 3:30.

The U.S. promo label indicates a :21 second intro, which again basically matches my version which has a 22.9 second intro.

Listening to the song, I suppose they could have faded it at 3:30. It's already into a fade at that point so I don't know quite why they would unless they thought a 3:30 song had a better chance of airplay than a 3:43 song... but then why the same on the commercial single, too? And why when all the other countries got "3:43" labels?

Does anybody have the original commercial and / or the original radio promo vinyl on this, who can time it for us, and determine if the U.S. single releases had an early fade?

(On a personal opinion note: WOW this seems like a dark song for Andy Gibb! I'm not aware of ever hearing it before.

I think I like it, but it sure doesn't sound like everything else that was out at that time... I see why it didn't chart higher, and am surprised it got as high as it did.)]]> Wed, 19 Jul 2017 16:41:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8775&PID=47755&title=andy-gibb-me-without-you#47755
