Not a Top 40 hit, but this song was released in 1968 or
1969. The 45 has a listed time of 2:37, but digital copies run 2:52. My guess, is that the first :15 of the intro is edited off. Can anyone confirm? |

John, your question was no doubt prompted by the obviously un-airable,
"Kick Out The Jams, m*****f*****'s" profanity yelled out at the start of the song's LP version. For the 45 version, though, in that same spot, Elektra altered/modified the phrase with, "Kick Out The Jams, brothers and sisters!" It would require a more careful analysis at my end to determine the :15 time difference, however. But that intro was a major "hook" to the song, regardless of the phrase, so I'm not at all surprised Elektra went to the bother to preserve it somehow. |

Thanks, Jim, it looks as though I'll need to purchase a 45
unless the "brothers and sisters" lyrical edit occurs somewhere else in the song. |

Yes, you'll need to purchase the 45. Brothers and Sisters intro on late pressings of the LP too. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |

I didn't realize this earlier, but the version with the "brothers and sisters" intro is on a 1989 Time-Life compilation (just like the one on the you tube link above). The track runs (2:37) and it's track 12 of 22 on my copy.

Thanks, Santi, for sharing that valuable info nugget! It's always nice to
discover that a version of a song we're lookin' for is on a CD I already bought and have owned for over 20 years now! |

BTW, Gene isn't the only one with a full mail box. Jim's is also full. I was going to ask Jim to listen to both the CD and the 45 version to make sure they do indeed match. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Will do, when time allows, Santi. I never really figured out a way how to file
my many, many V/A collections for a quick locate, so finding that specific T/L disc will take some diggin' at my end. And thanks about my full PM mailbox. Didn't know it was full - it now has some room, FYI. |

I can confirm that the Time Life disc mentioned earlier in the thread does contain the correct 45 version of "Kick Out The Jams." The fade on the CD is a couple seconds earlier than the actual 45, though. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I hear ya. About 20 years ago I'd reached the point of frustration on finding particular songs on the various compilation LPs/CDs/reels I had. That's when I bought my first computer, and one of the first things I used it for was to create a database of my compilations. Just kind of made up a filing scheme, then went thru all of the compilations and entered every song (when duplicate entries occurred I went with the best sounding copy)...if there were differences like mono/stereo, version, etc. kept them all. Lots of case by case decisions on that front. Have had to migrate the database from one program to another several times over the years, but it sure has come in handy!! If you're interested I can explain how I did things. |
