Benny Mardones also re-recorded "Into The Night" that year.

Of course, both songs were on Curb. Seems like a ton on Curb is a re-recording.


Add "Unchained Melody" on Curb to the 1989 re-recording list (available only on cassette singles IIRC). Also, didn't Motown re-release "Do You Love Me" by the Contours around that time too?

I think that was early '88, tying into Dirty Dancing fever. But that was the original recording, right? Motown also put out a commercial 12" single with remixes, which I haven't heard in years. Does anyone remember if the remixes used newly-recorded vocals?

The 1988 re-release of the Contours' "Do You Love Me" was indeed the original recording. It's interesting to learn there was a commercial 12" single with remixes because I heard the song on the radio a ton back in '88, but don't recall hearing any remixed versions.

Might be true of promos, but not of stock copies.

Original stock copies of the 45 have the artist credit on "That Was Then, This Is Now" as THE MONKEES, and the picture sleeve indicates "A Brand New 1986 Recording".

Only after that initial release were the artist credits changed to MICKEY DOLENZ AND PETER TORK (OF THE MONKEES) and a second line added to the front of the picture sleeve:
"A Brand New 1986 Recording
By Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork (Of The Monkees)"

Tim, I absolutely purchased my stock 45 within a day or two of its original summer 1986 release. I still own it, and have just pulled it. My latest Whitburn Pop Singles Book also states the same thing that you've just stated, but I personally had never been able to confirm that info. My pic sleeve does appear to be exactly the same as the "second issue sleeve" you describe, Tim, with the artist on my 45 indeed showing as by "Micky Dolenz And Peter Tork (Of The Monkees)". My deadwax info is "AS1-9505-SA B9". That "original Monkees" 45 artist listing/sleeve must be pretty darn rare, and was replaced very quickly indeed! But if someone as credible as either you, or Record Research's Paul Haney, actually do own a stock copy that states the artist as "The Monkees", it'll be good enough for me, and I will then accept it as fact.

I remember being really surprised to see it. It was in an obscure rack of 45s at a long-gone Woolworth's store in a suburban Philadelphia mall, and it's still the only copy I've ever seen. I rarely bought singles at that store because they were more expensive than most other places (strange, but true). But that one I had to get!

I have used both the sleeve and the record at different times as illustrations in past price guides.

Was there a specific reason the change on the label from The Monkees to Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork... was made?

My 45 of TWTTIN is a promo copy on the standard Arista label (not the white label you describe), and it's also labeled the same as your stock copy.

Hykker, since I did two very long posts about this song earlier, I'm sure that these previously-noted details simply got buried among all of the other information. So, yes, you are indeed correct. As I had very confusingly tried to explain before, there was both a blank white promo 45, and a "standard" Arista promo 45 issued for "That Was Then, This Is Now" in 1986.

I read that the song "That Was Then This Is Now" was originally done in 1985 by a group called the Mosquitos. Can't verify, though, I don't have a copy myself.
