Tomorrow rose to #14 in Cash Box, whose charts were based solely on sales.

Something i'm never 100% sure of is, which parts were re-recorded for the LP version... Just the organ & guitar parts? Or the whole thing? Drums and Vocals (except for the Stereo panning effects) always sounded the same to these ears.
Just remembered....think The Foot plays bass on the single, while The King plays on the album counterpart.
Speaking of management, anyone else notice that BH actually responded to a thread a few pages back? Ha!

: the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 100 singles
: chart, the SAC's followup single TOMORROW
: entered the chart, for the week ending
: December 30, 1967. For its first three weeks
: until INCENSE dropped off the chart, the SAC
: had two singles on the chart at the same
: time as shown below.
:
: Here's the chart positions for TOMORROW,
: week by week:

: 23-----February 17, 1968
: 32-----February 24, 1968

: THE CHART
:
: Amazingly, for a new
: "psychedelic/garage" group,
: through the end of TOMORROW's run the SAC
: were on the singles chart for 23 straight
: weeks.
:
: Also, there's a fluky side note to this.
: During TOMORROW's chart stretch
: "STRAWBERY SHORTCAKE" by Jay and
: The Techniques was on the charts for 6
: weeks, peaking at #39. For two weeks there
: was both a "Strawberry" group and
: "Strawberry" song in the top 40 at
: the same time. It never happened again, of
: course, because the SAC was the only
: "Strawberry" group to ever make it
: onto the singles charts.
:
: So.......George. We know that TOMORROW's
: release as the second single gets viewed in
: different ways by the band:
: Vindication and credit for Mark and Ed as
: songwriters after the INCENSE rip off.
: Not necessarily the type of
: "sound" the band was striving for
: at that point.
: Bad timing since the first album was just
: put out.
: Just to name a few...
:
: What I'd like to know is, what brought on
: the final decision to make it the all
: important second single? Was UNI going to
: release a second single off the first album
: but then changed their decision when they
: saw that you were recording new material?
: Did the band have any power or say on the
: decision for its release? You would think
: that coming off a mega number one hit that
: the band's viewpoint would be considered on
: either older or new songs for the next
: single. Or, did your management and/or UNI
: just force your hands on it and released it
: anyway? Just wondering.
