Send me the recording Ken and I’ll give it a listen! If memory serves, it is an edit but I haven’t heard it in years.Today while listening to AT40 from June 30th 1973, Carpenters at #13 with YOM. 3rd week on the charts. Another memory came to mind. When the song peeked a few weeks later, Casey Kasem started playing the short version of the song. It’s only on the 8-track version of Now&Then. It’s basically filler to make program 1 out of 4 the same length as the others. It does not sound like an edit, but an actual separately recorded track, leaving out the whole middle part of the song. It’s at about 2:15 long. The British 8-track says part 1, instead of short version. The quad 8-tracks only have 2 sides, so it’s not on those tapes. Anyway my question is: should it be on the resource as an alternate version? Short version? Can @ChisMay ask Richard about it’s recording. Edited or separate recording? I finally tracked a guy down that sold old radio shows, and asked about it. He didn’t believe me until he played the record it was on, from 8/4/73. He said it definitely changed the whole song. He’s right. At 2:15 it’s not a hit.
I remember that now. Couldn’t remember where I’d heard it initially, but my recollection is that it was just an edit of the original.FYI:
It’s also used on the U.S. cassette tape version.
"Da Doo Ron Ron" starts at the 7:53 mark:
Happy to oblige! That was yours truly that posted it. I've got a very nice 8-track that still plays like a charm. so I was able to use it to create this video.I didn’t think to look on u tube for all the 8 track recordings. Da Doo Ron Ron has about 10-15 seconds at the end that’s new to me. Cool!
Hey A&M Retro, any chance you can upload the shortened track of YOM from Now & Then 8 track? I know it’s only a verse taken out but technically it’s an edit we’ve never documented. I’d love to hear it.Happy to oblige! That was yours truly that posted it. I've got a very nice 8-track that still plays like a charm. so I was able to use it to create this video.

Well, I tried to do just that and my computer had other ideas. It's not converting to to a file for some reason. I'll get it done, but it might take a bit of time. Sorry about that. : (Hey A&M Retro, any chance you can upload the shortened track of YOM from Now & Then 8 track?

Do you have also have A Kind of Hush 8 track? There are 2 reprises listed on Program 3 and 4.
1. There's a Kind of Hush (reprise)
2. Breaking Up is Hard to Do (reprise)
Even though short they are reprises never documented and probably not heard by a lot of fans.
Love to hear those as well.
Made in America has a shortened version of Those Good Old Dreams I hear.
Ya know Bob, I’m really getting tired of all of your excuses!!Well, I tried to do just that and my computer had other ideas. It's not converting to to a file for some reason. I'll get it done, but it might take a bit of time. Sorry about that. : (
And by the way, the AT40 version is the exact same edit, but of the single and not album version. It's possible that A&M ran another edit for programmers once the single became available.
What did you mean AT40 is the same edit?
