Wait Till It Happens to You (single version)

~ Recording by Fats Domino

Annotation

The version numbers of this song are often confused. It all depends on how you number the versions: by recording time or by release time.
Version 1, recorded in 1967, was issued on single Broadmoor (1968, out of mind) and next on second Reprise album by Fats Domino "Fats" (1971), released only outside of the USA. Net length on LP is 2:29.
Version 2, recorded in 1968, was issued on widely known Reprise album "Fats Is Back" (1968). This version is widely known, it runs on LP 2:33 and has long (12") instrumental ending.
That's why version 1 was mistakenly called on CD compilations "version 2" or "alternate".
