I love "Pump Up The Volume". My husband and I still argue over whose tape it actually was. I say it was mine and he stole it during high school and he says the same vice versa! But we all know he's lying. It was mine. :o)

The whole Colourbox album is here:

It's pretty amazing.

The PE sample is "You're Gonna Get Yours" from a song of the same name (first album). I know there's also a couple of samples from The J.B.s (James Brown's band) in there but I'll have to listen to it again.

Do you have any idea what the sample is in Richard F "The Way"
Thanks

I'm looking for someone with the vinyl of "Pump up the Volume" There was a track titled "Mars Needs Women" that I need to hear again.

At the breakdown 4:49ish, there's a bass voice saying Din Daa Daa, Don Doo...

That's "Din Da Da" by George Kranz

I've been looking as well and found them thanks to DJ Prince from Norway. (www.djprince.no) So all credits for him. He even got the samples online in a zip file. Check http://gybo.proboards4.com/ but they might be offline though.

I scanned the track on my own and here's what I've found:

Reference Version:

Pump Up The Volume (12" Version, first track on A-Side)
Duration: 07:06 min.
Label: 4th/Broadway (USA)

I hope that this is the same version that you are referring to, because I know some alternate mixes of the track.
For example, the mentioned "Roadblock"-sample is missing in my version (but I know the mix where this is included).
On the other hand, the mix that I'm reffering to contains a sample of George Kranz's "Trommeltanz" - also known as the "Din Da Da"-Song.
So I hope my sample listing won't confuse you in any way.

Comment: I don't think, that's a sample - this is originated by MARRS.
But there once was a record called "Rock The House" - by old school rap formation "The B-Boys (Chuck Chillout & MC King Donald D)"
Those vocals in the MARRS track remind me on it.

I don't know any of the used samples in this block. But I know that the "guitar noise" right before the next "Pump up the..." is originated by Larry Graham & Graham Central Station. But don't ask me for the name of it... ;-)
By the way, do really think it's Ofra Haza's I'm Nin Alu right here? I know both - Haza's original and Eric B. & Rakim's sample - but i can't recognize any similarity.

I'm thankful to you all, I've made a Flemish forum for stuff like this. I'll credit this site when taking over the info, but I'll add one to:

"The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace is also to be heard in Pump Up The Volume. It's the weird sound going from high to low, starting on the left side and repeating every 2 beats on the right and the left over and over

"* This style of dance record was called a 'Cup-Up'"

It is actually, Cut-up, not cup. A technique with it's roots in art (Braque, Picasso) and literature (Burroughs, Gyson)

Hey...this subject is still alive =)

Weird....I've listened to this record but I don't think it's actually in the version of 'Pump up the Volume' I've got. I'm talking about the first mix - the one they had to pull back due copyright issues.

What I'm still looking for is the record they 'stole' the intro sounds from.
The Roland TR-808 toms that are also panning from left to right.
I've heard it before and I wonder if they recreate it theirselves or was it nicked from another record......
Who helps me out here??

So this means that because of the lawsuits that the M/A/R/R/S: Pump Up The Volume "video" when was in its original un-edited version when it first debut in American TV, in itself is vulnerable to editing & re-editing?

the song I KNOW YOU GOT SOULD by Erik B and Rakim was in turn sampled from Bobby Byrd's song of the same name.

"Mars Needs Women"
Source: unknown
Comment: I don't know this track - I've taken the info from your list!

I'm not sure of that, but I guess it's not even a record, but a movie with the same title. I haven't watched it so I don't know if the sample has been taken from the movie

"Pump That Bass" sample Original Concept "Get a little stupid, ho!"
"Rock Da House" is Pressure Drop not B-Boy's song of same title.
Feamle vocal sample is intro to "Road Block" by Stock Aitken & Waterman (who took Marrs to court for copyright infringement)
Larry Graham Track is "The Jam" from Ain't No Doubt 'bout It LP
I think "do it" vocal is another James Brown sample but can't say which one of the possible thousands it is!! All the other sample's mentioned are correct and i think "Mars needs women" sample is from a BBC Sound Effects LP
