kris kross "jump"

the cassingle issued as ruffhouse/columbia 74197 contains the "radio edit" version of the song and runs 3:15.....the cassingle starts with a vinyl scratch for a second then goes into the infectous beat.....the full cd/lp version DOES NOT have this vinyl scratch.....pat........you might want to review all the entries in the db to determine which ones are the 45/single versions and which are the full cd/lp versions.........they both have about the same running time.......let me know what you find out........

Good catch, Ed! I had not noticed that the database didn't distinguish between 45 & LP on this one.

If my memory is correct, the intro of the 45 version (which has a second of ABC's "The Playground" followed by the vinyl scratch) was included at the beginning of the bonus remix of "Jump" from Totally Krossed Out. This "extended mix" is also not listed in the database, although it's the last track on the disc.

Essentially, if you take that short intro and paste it onto the beginning of the LP version, you'll have the 45 version. Again, just going from memory here...

Interesting. I wonder if they "forgot" to get permission to use it? After all, it's not actually a compliment. Check the lyrics "don't try to compare us to another bad little fad." Ouch! Dissed...

Jeff, my copy of "Soundtrack For The Century - R&B" does not have the scratching - can you double check your copy?

I checked my copy. It doesn't have the record scratch at the beginning. My bad! :)
