CD appearances of The Cars' "Tonight She Comes" vary by as much as 11 seconds in the database, from 3:45 to 3:56. Anyone know the actual running time of the 45? Thanks.

Brian, my commercial 45 has a listed time of (3:52) and an actual time of (3:51).

I don't think "Tonight She Comes" ever appeared on a Cars vinyl LP release, so we can deduce that none of the song's other CD run times in the database can be attributed to an LP length.

Todd, "Tonight She Comes" first appeared on a vinyl LP as a new song on the group's 1985 The Cars Greatest Hits. Edited by Paul Haney |

Sonofagun... I completely forgot about that, Paul! For some reason, I was thinking "Tonight She Comes" would have come off the group's 1984 Heartbeat City LP. 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!
In light of this correction, does anyone have the run time for "Tonight She Comes" from the Greatest Hits vinyl LP? |

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....

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.

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. |

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.
