Stevie Wonder - "You Will Know" (O/T)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   "You Will Know" by Stevie Wonder only reached #77 on the 

Hot 100 in early 1988, but it reached #1 on the R&B 

chart.

The US commercial 45 runs (4:27) as the label states and 

is an edit of the (5:00) LP version. According to 

Discogs, two different US promo 45s were issued. One is 

the same version as the commercial 45 and the other is a 

"New Radio Edit" with a listed time of (4:05). I assume 

this is the same version with a stated time of (4:05) 

that appears on a US promo CD single and on a German 

commercial single, which is actually an early fade of the 

commercial 45 (not a 'New Radio Edit').

As far as I can tell, the commercial single version has 

never been issued on CD (commercial or promo; domestic or 

foreign).

	I've also never found the 4:27 commercial single version on CD. While you can edit the LP version to match, you'll run out of audio a little too soon. The fade out of the 45 continues for several seconds beyond where the LP version ends.
