My guess is the latter, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.
Todd, my promo 45 has the listed and actual (3:01) version on both sides. I also have 2 different promo 12" singles for this. The first, PR 2116, states "7" Version" on both sides, and is exactly the same as my promo 45, on both sides. But my second promo 12", PR 2131, as earlier referred to in this thread, has the "7" Version" on only one side, stating "A Side" on the label. But the "B Side" of this 2nd promo 12" DOES state and include the "Need You Tonight/Mediate" version, has both a listed and actual time of (5:36), and states "LP Version". I remember that there was a bit of a "radio buzz" about playing this "full LP version" back in 1988, no doubt prompting Atlantic to issue a 2nd promo 12", which included this full version. So it DID appear in this configuration on a 1988 single, Todd, albeit only on a promo 12" single.

Ah, so commercial 12" copies and some DJ 12" copies contained the "Need You Tonight/Mediate" medley. Thanks, Aaron, Jim, and 995wlol for helping clear this up.

Also, I've never been a big music video guy, but I remember seeing a version of the "Need You Tonight" video back in the '80s where "Mediate" immediately followed and featured, I believe, the band members rapidly tossing about hand-written signs containing words ending in "ate".

Todd, you're correct. The video for "Need You Tonight" included the "Mediate" part. When the song was current, I only remember MTV playing the long version.

The "Need You Tonight" situation is more complicated than the first drumbeat of "Mediate." If I'm correct, you cannot create the true 45 version from the album version, and here's why:

The REVERB from the final word "kind" tracks into the first drumbeat of "Mediate." If you just cut off the song before the first drumbeat of "Mediate," that reverb will be clipped.

The two-disc "Billboard #1 Hits of the '80s" contains what I presume is the true 45 version -- the reverb after the final word is allowed to fade out. The version on "Razor & Tie Presents Awesome '80s" clips the reverb at the end.

Somebody with the cassingle or the 45 should confirm this (and I'd like to hear it, if I could).

I've long suspected this, and the Billboard CD indicates I'm probably correct. (I thought I'd brought this up in a thread before, but apparently not, as I can't find it.)

It states "Edited from Atlantic LP 81796 "Kick"" on the U.S. commercial 45 of "Need You Tonight" record label. I can't clearly decide because my LP "Kick" is a Japanese pressing.

The time length of from the first on the lyric "You're one of my kind" till the end on the U.S. 45 is :02.008.
But the time length of from the first on the lyric "You're one of my kind" until just before the start of "Mediate" on the LP is :01.886.
If the U.S. LP is identical to the Japan LP. The 45 is surely edited from the LP. As a result I think that it doesn't make much difference whether the 45 or the LP.
But it is possible to distinguish between the 45 source and the LP's.

Brian, I'm noticing what you mean here. I listened to my copy on Awesome '80s, and the word "kind" is sort of cut off at the end. It's sounds like, "you're one of my kine."

On the promo CD "Atlantic's Year In Review 1987," the full word "kind" can be heard, and you can clearly hear the "d" (almost sounds like a "t") and the trailing reverb.

Very good ears, Brian, abagon and Aaron! Re-listened to all the different versions I have, and will summarize...

Versions that are edited from the Kick version (tracking into "Mediate"):
  • Kick (obviously)
  • Awesome '80s (cut -not a fade- right before opening downbeat of "Mediate")
  • Hits On CD Vol. 9 (cut -not a fade- right before opening downbeat of "Mediate")
  • Hit Singles 1980-1988 (faded to silence so that it sounds like "kine")
  • Hang The DJ 1988 (fade-out over first 6-7 seconds of "Mediate")
Versions that have the complete "d" or "t" sound at the very end:
  • Atlantic's Year In Review 1987
  • The A List Disc 42
  • Now The Millennium Series 1988
The other CDs listed in my post above have remnants of "Devil Inside" from the Greatest Hits or are otherwise self-explanatory.

the cd below

(S)(3:01) Rhino 78084 Billboard #1s: The ‘80s

contains the true 45 version, with the last word as "kind" and not as "kine".....i checked the vinyl 45 and it also has the full "kind" and NOT "kine"......this should be noted in the db....

I just pulled my copy of Best Of, where "Need You Tonight" is the first track, and the full "kind" is on that disc. It doesn't abruptly cut off at the end like on my copy of Awesome '80s.
