Anyone know where to find the 4 and a half video version (probably the
radio version as well) of this. I also have a cassette rap comp with a 5:30 version on it that has rain sound effects in the beginning. Does anyone have a list of all the versions? |

It just so happens that this genre is my area of expertise. While I'm not sure about a 4 1/2 minute video version, I can tell you for sure that the 45 version runs 3:46 (give or take a second). It is readily available on several compilations. (If you go to allmusic.com, just do a song title search, and it will list the run times on the various CDs.) Ironically, one of the compilations it appears on is "Great '70s Dance Grooves." Why they decided to put an early '80s track on that disc is beyond me.

LOL, I've seen a CD single for sale with 11 different mixes of this song...and none of them is the 45 version!

I know...found it on the net and it does suck. I jus won the 45 on ebay
just to have it...I've never seen the 45 before. What about "planet rock" by Afrika Babmaataa & The Soul Sonic Force? What was the 45 length of that? |

The 45 version for "Planet Rock" is the one that starts with the music and runs 5:18 (also available on several CDs). There is another mix (the LP perhaps?) that starts with an acapella vocal.

I just completed my own edit of "jam on it" and I think I'm pleased with
the edits. It's a bit long for radio clocking in at 5:27 but I created some fade versions that make it a bit shorter. This version doesn't butcher the lyrics and keeps the Chilly B lyrics in place. Take a listen and let me know what you think: www.gamsworld.com/newcleus/ |

I just cut it down some more...now clocking in at:
Early Fade (4:16) Fade (4:48) Edit (4:57) Let me know what you think. I wonder why they released the video with such a choppy audio edit. This edit was a little more challenging than most. To cut an 8 minute song down is tough. I feel as though the offical 7" version really killed the song. At least it now clocks in under 5 minutes. Edited by chendagam |

I'm amazed there wasn't a shorter edit for radio, but the only promos on Discogs are the same length as the commercial 45. I'd think this one would be easy to chop down to 2 & 1/2 or 3 minutes, if you wanted... I'm sure the length didn't help it get airplay in '82. |

For the 45 edit of "Jam On It", most definitely pick up Sony
Special Products' Great '70s Dance Grooves (1995). I'd done my own recreation of the 45 edit using Hip Hop Greats, but I ditched it in favor of Grooves because the version on Grooves sounds so good. (The version of Jimmy Bo Horne's "Dance Across The Floor" on Grooves is inexcusably bad, though.) |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

Even though Great 70s Dance Grooves was for sale
for 99 cents, I decided to recreate the 45 version with my stock 45 as a guide. About 5 or 6 edits to get it to 3:48 or so. |
