Jive Bunny And The ... - "Swing The Mood"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I compared my 45 of "That's What I Like" (actual run time of 4:03) to the LP version on The Album, and you can almost recreate the 45, except for two sections.

The first 3:23 of both 45 and LP are identical.

Then follows a sample "oh baby that's what I like".  On the 45 it transitions back into "Hawaii 5-0"; on the LP it's got a different drum fill and goes off into some other samples.  The 45 "oh baby" can't be recreated from the LP.

The 45 also ends cold on the last note, where the LP has an extra a cappella "oh baby that's what I like like like" tacked on at the end.

Interestingly, the B-side of "That's What I Like" is an instrumental called "Pretty Blue Eyes", which is a straightforward big band-style arrangement without any samples, albeit with a drum loop.  The producer/arranger/taken-from-"Jive Bunny The Album" credits are erroneously copied from the A-side, though, even through it clearly says "Unavailable on LP" elsewhere on the label.

	I just found a copy of the "Swing The Mood" promo CD single Atco PR 3039-2 referenced above, and track 1 ("Radio Mix") is missing the first four beats of the song, which are present on both the 45 and the UK Now CD.

	12 years later is there still no readily available 45 radio edit out there? The album version is too long; iTunes seems to have a bunch of odd re-recordings… Very confusing...

	Just the cusp of the CD era. Not high demand for it sadly. Probably wont be on CD in the 45 version.

	Yes I can confirm this is not likely to be issued on any V/A comp in future, unless it is made in another country. And at this late stage....well... these ships have sailed. In the U.S, they changed things after the big medley craze of the 80s. Now, to license a medley you have to get separate permission from each owner of the masters used in the medley AND you have to pay full publishing fees to each copyright holder for every song. This of course adds up to an outrageous amount of money for one medley. This is why medleys on US CDs have been very rare indeed. Record club CDs however were under a different rule - they would only have to pay a small bulk fee for the entire disc. That's sort of how it works in Europe. And if it was a budget record club comp or a free item that could only be got with the purchase of other CDs, they didn't have to pay anything. A good example of that is the "Keep On Dancing" comp from the BMG record club. It has several medleys on it. They didn't have to pay anything. MM

	Even though the single version isn't likely to appear in the US anytime soon, it should still be fairly easy to track down a copy of the "Swing The Mood" CD Single from Discogs or eBay, depending on how much you're willing to spend and how long you're willing to wait for it. (You might have to get it from another country). I bought a Made In Japan 3" CD Single of it from eBay years ago, and it has the single version.
