Have the exact same disc in perfect shape here in Canada - LOVE IT
Amazing finds, thank you for this
Everytime I hear this record I still think that it was an utter stroke of genius. Really.
How they managed to draw together all those style of music and make a ground-breaking dance track with it still blows me away 26 years later.
I was in my last year of High School when this came out and even then, I appreciated that there was some very exciting new music coming out.
pro tip : watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Darius Princeton Yup, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
@Darius Princeton Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
Great investigative 👌
Oh wow WOW! Excellent research!!!!
Excellent !
Jungle jazz was used in a lot of songs one that comes to mind is jades " don't walk away"
Stroke of pure genius this song. Wish they'd released more..
What a masterpiece - you really have to know all kinds of music pretty well to get all of those and put in a one great song. And also you have to know at least the same to detect the songs 30 years after.
I agree it’s superb. I’ve read somewhere that of all those disparate sample originators, the only idjuts who objected to the point of court were SAW (stock aitken & waterman) who decided that their roadblock segment was too much for them. This, coming from the most derivative, uninspired, music-by-numbers production people you could EVER see. For god sakes they were responsible for Jason Donovan. And nothing against JD it just sticks in one’s craw a little to see them complaining about a stone cold classic when their stuff was chart fodder at best. Marrs. A+++
Easily one of the most notorious and interesting One Hit Wonders of all time. And it seems not one moment of it was original music. I was 21 when this became crazy popular; it was something of a phenomenon.
OH.MY.GOD. Thank You. George Krantz "Din Da Da" is something I've been looking for for 30 years! I had a remix of the entire song on a mixtape a German club DJ visiting my town kicked down to me. I took the tape on a road trip in 1989 and never knew any of the song titles or artists.... the only other time I heard it sampled was in PUTV. You've filled a hole in my life you don't even understand by doing this. Thank you again!
First time I saw 8-bit audio samples playing on an Amiga at the store... it was samples taken from that record! The audio-quality + ability to have multi-tracks mixed in hardware using a nice User-Interface... defined what the future will be like!
oh! my word.. what an incredible thing to do.. brilliant, thankyou for doing it 🙂 x
すばらしいです👍👍感動しました
大好きすぎるこの曲にはこんな深い事が隠されていたなんて🎵
ありがとう❤
Thanks for including Roadblock.
came here to check this out!
Precious. Thanks man!
Thnx for this. I'm currently working on a megamash, containing all originals from Pump Up The Volume.
Great investigative work, we all loved that track 🎹🙃😁
The sample from Love Ride was also used on the chorus of "I Can't Wait" from Nu Shooz.
On the love bug part, isn't that Wolfman Jack? And that Brothers and Sisters is the intro speech to Wattstax?
Brilliant research - many thanks
Amazing very munch samples for this song, whole samples yield pump the volume.
Genial info . Y mas genio el que mesclo todos esos sonidos para crear pump up the volumen . Gracias por compartir la data .
Thank you man! This is great for resampling into the tech house movement that's happening!
Does anyone know the source of the original sample spoken at the beginning of the US Radio Edit of this track? It is a female voice, in the fashion a radio DJ would speak, saying the words "Yo all you homeboys out in 'Bronx, this one's for you!" Thanks, peace, love & Unity!
My love is guaranteed sybil remix
… which is where the entire groove originally came from, or at least that's the one I heard first in 1986-87.
That drum loop
That bass
That low piano
Those samples
I miss piano in hiphop and dancefloor tracks. "Rocking down the PM" by Raw Fusion, the piano solo of Digital Underground's "Doowutchalike" and FPI Project's anthem "Rich in Paradise" are still unmatched.
nice one! some i had, some i didn't. much appreciated. keep hunting!
KUDOS so good
Haha. Yes, they were meant to didn't so SAW, the mean bastards, took an injunction out to stop the record being sold whilst it contained one of their samples. I think everyone sued the crap out of them at some point.
If you listen to a much later version, there are virtually no samples in it at all. The original version contains the Roadblock sample.
Good work !!!
I would really like if like every sound added to make up the full song again
This is awesome, I've always wondered how it was produced .
So fresh.
Youre a legend, thank you
Thank you !!!
THANK YOUR SO MUCH !!!
great job at that time !!
Great record
At the time of it's release, it was earth shaking.
Some of the recent earthquakes might still be afterschock waves from the release
fucking love it old skill style style
Missing the very first sample that plays. The bells loop that is the undercurrent of the whole song... sorry. But one of the most complete versions I've seen.
Amazing work! Thanks!
Amazing. Great job. Thanks so much. Keep rockin'.
Please: Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis
and Out Of The Ordinary - Play It Again
Bomb 💣
Actually it is. They replayed it. I have a loop of the original song they replayed it from in my collection of loops I got from God-knows where a long time ago. I did confirm this several times while searching for that loop specifically... anyway, it seems unattainable, but a real thing.
I have the 12", will put it online soon
Missing the most important one:
Sybil - "My Love is Guaranteed (Red Ink Mix)", which is where the main groove originated.
You are wrong, the Red Ink Mix ripped off pump up the volume
That seems to be the most popular narrative, @@djprinceNorway. But all I know is that I remember hearing the Sybil song almost a year earlier. I don’t know anything about release dates or production teams, just that I heard the Sybil song sometime between 1986 and 87, and then I heard M|A|R|R|S’ song toward the summer of 87.
@@theNerve_theAudacity You should read up on the history. Pump up the volume was released on promo july 1987. Stock/Aikten/Waterman's version of Sybil was released August 1987. SAW also sued MARRS because of the Roadblock sample. The Sybil track was re-tracked because of a lawsuite by MARRS.
I really wish I knew for certain if there are archived playlists on the web for stations like *98.7 Kiss FM, WBLS 107.5, and Hot 103.5* (all New York stations) for 1986 and 1987. That would prove that I heard the Sybil song first. It was her follow-up to "Falling in Love).
@@theNerve_theAudacity I have spoken with one of the producers of Pump Up The Volume and I was a DJ back then, so I am 100% sure that the Sybil song came after.
Love.
Well done, homeboy.
Excellent
Thanks, the main riff is from `funkin for Jamaica" Tom Browne
nice work!
excellent!
"King" is a reasonable title. For any "prince" worth their Salt. Depending on the Geography.
It's more about economics. In reality. Any Joe can claim a status. Hitler was voted into office. Hindenberg proved un reliable as a vehicle. Ceasar. Is now a salad. To much of the globe.
It's tricky to shift a paradigm . Hard not impossible. In fact try this for kix. I am a dead living man. See. I run a production. As a DJ. & Celebrity host on a Radio program. On META. Have for 3 years in reality. I'm verbally obese. Kaiser means Ceasar. In English. Auf Deutsh. Celebrate Labor. Hard. My break is over. My boss is a real Conceptm 🎉😂❤
DJ Prince, could you please update this with some of the new information? For example the wailing sound is actually from Timezone's "Wild Style".
(it's the sample currently listed as the Castor Bunch)
Arrebentou nos samplers
good work man...
that is not a sample, its from a drummachine, think its a Roland TR808
You should've done this while playing the song
muchas gracias
Didn't know that this was made up of so many songs. I guess Vanilla Ice would be laughing at this copy right infringement.
It was the wild west to begin with. It was all brand new and there was an idea that a 'sample' wasn't a whole song, so there was no legal recourse. Not until landmark cases like in 1991, where UK songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan sued rapper Biz Markie after he sampled O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)" on the album I Need a Haircut. The court ruled that sampling without permission infringed copyright. I'm sure MARRS see very little of the publishing now.
@@davidtuck Nice knowledge bomb mate!
Did they have to pay for sample clearance??
1:15 Jungle Jass by Kool & the Gang was also, I think, used by the Brand New Heavies in Shelter.
brill vid
Amazing! What about piano chord part?
That is not a sample (I think)
@@djprinceNorway I think I found the song the piano chord was taken from. At 1:32 in this video. m.ua-cam.com/video/Yg4VzVXKhAk/v-deo.html
But what is the name?
класс!!!
graciasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
The Bar-Kays, not Keys 👍
At minute 2:12 that was also sampled into uptown funk, probably the only sample I’m most familiar with
I know this seems late but the pump that bass is from a rap song of the same name. If was watching a rap compilation of 1980s to 90s and found it and also the funk it up sample too but forget the song.
2:38
ȜȝȣȢͲӣΩTRUE
I think I may have found where the piano chord sample comes from. At 1:32 in this video a song is played that sounds identical. m.ua-cam.com/video/Yg4VzVXKhAk/v-deo.html
You might be right, now starts the job for finding this sample. Great job spotting this!
@@djprinceNorway Thanks DJ Prince! It definitely sounds like it's in the same key. I tried using Shazam to identify the song but it didn't find it. Maybe the guy in that video knows the title? I'm just glad I finally found what might be the sample source. Been looking for decades! Onward. Thanks for your video. It's awesome. I love your dedication to MARRS Pump up the volume.
@@wavelengthrecords-1 I think that guy in the video died of a heroin overdose. I could ask CJ Mackintosh if he remembers the piano sample.
@@djprinceNorway That would be awesome!! Thank you!
Please Help me !!!
