i was reviewing my 1989 library of co-mingled cassingles and vinyl 45's and was trying to acquire all of the 1989 top 40 hits on vinyl that i had on cassette single and discovered that there are quite a few top 40's from 1989 that where NEVER issued on vinyl!!!...i never realized this until this project....below is a list of the top 40's from 1989 that do not have a corresponding 7" vinyl 45 with the same label & catalog number. i believe this is a complete list but i'm open for review and corrections....
sybil-don't make me over (next plateau 325 peak #20) 2 live crew, the-me so horny (skyywalker 130 peak #26) morales, michael-what i like about you (wing 889678 peak #28) de la soul-me myself and i (tommy boy 7926 peak #34) whitesnake-fool for your loving (geffen 22715 peak #37) cover girls-my heart skips a beat (capitol 44436 peak #38) ------------- edtop40 |

Sounds right. The first two I was only ever able to obtain on 12" singles which both had the radio versions (luckily for me).

Of the songs above:
"Don't Make Me Over" was issued on 45, briefly, as the B-side of Sybil's next single, "Walk On By" (Next Plateau KF 327). "Me So Horny" exists as a promo-only 45 (Luke Skyywalker LS 113) with the same version on both sides. "My Heart Skips a Beat" by the Cover Girls was on a promo-only 45 from Capitol (7PRO-79705), with the so-called 7" Radio Edit on both sides. The other three above, I have never seen on a U.S. 45 of any kind. When Collectables reissued most of the Tommy Boy hits on 45s in the mid-1990s, they missed "Me Myself and I" for some reason. And did you miss "When the Night Comes" by Joe Cocker, which peaked at #11? There was a Capitol promo 45 (7PRO-79711), and it later showed up as the B-side of a 1992 jukebox single (Capitol S7-57988), but it was not available on a U.S. 45 in 1989. |

If it matters at all, we had a stock 45-rpm disc of this song in Canada. I'm pretty sure it was on Capitol. ------------- Cheers, Jody Thornton (Richmond Hill, Ontario) |

tim...you had me there, almost......i revised my post.....the original starting point of the post was the year 1989....joe cockers song "when the night comes" actually peaked in 1990....the benchmark i have always used was anything before 1990 in have on 45 and 1990 to about 1996 i have the single version as cassingle....but your point has been noted...thanks for the correction ------------- edtop40 |

roxette "listen to your heart" had a 45 issued with the same catalog number as the cassingle EMI 50223...but again....that song peaked in 1990.... ------------- edtop40 |

Actually, it peaked in 1989. The 45 wasn't released, though, until September 1990, at the same time as those for Roxette's next two hits, "Dangerous" and "It Must Have Been Love." |

It did. When the 45 was released (finally) in 1990, it had the same catalog number as the 1989 cassette single. The way you can tell it was issued in 1990 and not 1989 is that the prefix on the 45 is "NR" rather than "B". The belated stock 45 of "Listen to Your Heart," by the way, contains the album version. I've got two different promo CD singles with three different shorter mixes. There were three in all, one with a black disc on DPRO-4399 (edited version and LP version), one with a silver/gray disc on DPRO-4408 (A/C Version), and one with a red disc on DPRO-04417 (Remix, Remix Short and LP versions). I own neither, but I've just discovered that there were TWO different promo 45s released of "Listen to Your Heart" in 1989. The first, EMI 7PRO-04409, contains the 4:30 "A/C Version" on both sides. (This, so I am told, has a synthesized sax solo instead of electric guitar during the instrumental break.) There is also a promo-only 45 from 1989 (EMI 7PRO-04420/7PRO-04422) with a 4:50 Remix on one side and 4:20 Remix Short Version on the other. |

I can't speak for the 45, but I have a version of this on a MAC (Mostly AC...a promo service for radio) CD that's as you describe. I don't think I've ever heard this version on the air though I have heard custom edits with the guitar solo bridge edited out. The AC I worked at in the early 90s just played the album version. |

Well, I haven't stopped collecting current music yet, but I agree with you on cassette singles. Ugh. |
