There is an online listing for a US promo CD of "Just For Tonight" with catalog number CDP 673. It is a 1-track with a printed time of 4:19, but the listing doesn't say what version is listed on the disc. I've seen US 45s label the song as "Single Edit."
I do have a copy on my TM Century GoldDisc labeled as "Single Edit" with an actual time of 4:19. It appears the database will likely have to be updated, as nothing is currently listed next to the CDs containing the song. |

I've got this one... it is indeed the remixed 'Single Edit' version. The promo actually has this mix repeated for a total of 3 tracks.
The disc itself reads "1, 2 & 3: Just For Tonight (Single Edit) 4:19". |

my cassingle issued as wing 865888 does not state a version on the sleeve or cassette but does list a run time of 4:27 and is the same as the full length cd/lp version from the cd
(4:26) Wing/Mercury 843522 The Comfort Zone (LP version) so the entries in the d/b are incorrect....the cassingle and lp versions are the same..... i also have the promo cd single issued as wing cdp 673 with three tracks all listed as the same version as listed below 1-just for tonight (single edit) (4:19 listed; 4:18 actual) so the d/b entries need to be changed... ------------- edtop40 |

So I guess this is a case where the 45 and Cassette
Single versions were different? The US 45 listing on Discogs shows "Just For Tonight - Single Mix" as both the A and B side of the 45. Wonder why they didn't put something else on the B-Side? |

| My 45 RPM vinyl single (Wing 422-865888-7) states 'Single Edit' (4:19 listed; 4:18 actual) and has the exact same thing on the 'B' side. This was the fourth single pulled from Vanessa Williams, "Comfort Zone". Strangely, I have a release date of the 45 RPM single as 7/13/1992. By this time, it had already stalled on the Billboard Hot 100. By the time we got it in the store, customers stopped asking for it. Why did Polygram even bother? -Bill. |

Good question. I guess to appease the vinyl 45 lovers? By then, in 1992, Cassette Singles were outselling 45's, so that would explain why customers had stopped asking for it by the time the 45 came out. I guess the bigger question is why did they wait so long to release the 45? |

By 1992, weren't jukebox operators driving most vinyl 45 sales? I bet that market would have lagged radio and retail sales, since coin-op consumers looked for familiar tunes. |

| In our store, most of the sales of vinyl 45's were attributed to Mobile DJ's doing weddings or parties who, if they received a request for a particular song, would rather spend under $3.00 for a vinyl single than a C.D. which were quite expensive in 1992. It's also funny when I think about it that the demographics for a 45 RPM single buyer in the late 60's was female and 16-17 years of age, and in the 80's, it was male and 30-40 years of age!! -Bill. |
