: Yeah, back then you had more than just one of
: music "trade magazines" to refer
: to. Basing chart position on sales only sure
: does make more sense. I guess since
: Billboard is the only one that survived it's
: become the go to source of chart info.
: Hey, #23 was good. #14 is really, really
: good.

: Well done, Steve.
:
: 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!

: Five weeks after INCENSE AND PEPPERMINTS hit
: 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:
:
: 80-----December 30, 1967---FIRST WEEK
: -----INCENSE at #13
: 63-----January 6,
: 1968--------------------------------INCENSE
: at #15
: 51-----January 13,
: 1968------------------------------INCENSE at
: #37-last week!!
: 41-----January 20, 1968
: 29-----January 27, 1968
: 28-----February 3, 1968
: 23-----February 10,1968
: 23-----February 17, 1968
: 32-----February 24, 1968
: 33-----March 2, 1968----------LAST WEEK ON
: 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.
