Yes, I just ripped a copy of the US 12", which contains the same glitch. It seems during mastering one bass drum sample wasn't triggered. I simply copied the initial bass drum sample from the beginning of the song, and pasted it over the glitch point. And voila - it sounds normal: Keep On Movin 7" fix - U-Tube

If that wasn't a creative choice, perhaps someone momentarily muted the bass drum track during playback (unlikely), or the sampler experienced a glitch during mastering (more likely). In that same era I had a Korg M1 keyboard, which you could use to program and record instruments, drums, etc. Periodically, though rarely, during playback samples would get skipped and not show up - despite being programmed correctly. I'd reboot the machine or free up memory, and they would reappear.

Supposition: Likely an accident, but one that was left in intentionally. After all, everyone in the studio, label and so on would have to have noticed that.]]> Thu, 22 Feb 2024 13:14:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64416&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64416 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64218&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64218 Author: Plastic Steel

I'm not sure about the 45, but I know the cassette single
definitely has the glitch.]]> Tue, 02 Jan 2024 14:26:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64218&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64218 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64167&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64167 Author: AutumnAarilyn

Volume IV The Classic Singles 88-93 might fit the bill as
well.

I can't unhear that glitch now.

"Move me no mountain" Hackney mix is the killer cut but
it's on a single and a few compilations.]]> Mon, 18 Dec 2023 15:20:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64167&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64167 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64164&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64164 Author: EternalStatic

Thanks for giving props, Ron! You know I love to help. I think it was Bwci Bo that actually noticed the glitch first, though. I only humbly but efficiently located a version without it, haha.]]> Mon, 18 Dec 2023 09:02:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64164&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64164 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=64162&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#64162 Author: mjb50

There's also a fraction of a second of sound missing 1 second later, at the beginning of the word "stop". Can't really hear that one but it's evident in a wave editor.

It seems the UK 45 has the glitch: (ref: YouTube)

So does the US 45 have the glitch too?

Twelve years later...

Never mind: the 45 is indeed a different mix than the LP version. Fading the LP version early won't work.

The promo CD single of the "Nellee Hooper's 7 Inch" includes an odd glitch around nine seconds in. There's a drumbeat missing, and the syllable "in" is pasted over the missing beat, so it sounds a little like a stutter. The glitch only affects the attack of one drumbeat, and if you're beat-matching, you wouldn't even notice it. The same analog transfer (including the glitch) is used on:

• Hitmakers Vol. 22 June 16 1989 - left and right channels swapped
• Rhino's Billboard Hot R&B Hits 1989 (1995) - tail of fade is about two beats shorter
• Time-Life's Uptown Saturday Night Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now (2007) - tail of fade is about seven beats shorter

A different analog transfer is used on the UK 3-inch CD single (10 Records TEN CD 263, released 1989). The EQ is a little more muffled than the US releases, but the length is about the same and it lacks the glitch at nine seconds in!

Thanks to Eric M for discovering the glitch and finding a CD that lacks it.

Unless I'm missing something, it appears that the 45
version is an early fade of the LP version. I didn't heard
any difference between the mixes.

Based on the timing from PolyTel Canada's Hits Plus
Hits, a 24-beat sinusoidal fade from 3:21-3:36 seems to
match the 45 pretty well.

Note that the true 45 runs at 93.4 BPM, or about 0.3%
faster than the album version at 93.1 BPM.]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:45:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=29373&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#29373 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2699&PID=19281&title=soul-ii-soulkeep-on-movin#19281 Author: abagon

I did the typo (Neellee Hooper's 7") when I informed Todd by an e-mail. I sincerely apologize.
The correct description on the 45 record label is (Nellee Hooper's 7")

my commercial cassingle issued as virgin 99205 states on the label the version as (nellee hooper's 7") and listed run time of 3:38 but actually runs 3:37....it is identical to track #1 from the usa promo cd single that both jim and i have listed below

1-(Nellee Hopper's 7") (actual 3:37)
2-(Teddy Riley's Rubba Dub) (actual 6:00)
3-(Big Beat A cappella) (actual 3:32)
4-(Club Mix) (Featuring Caron Wheeler) (actual 5:46)

i do not have the commercial 45 to compare that to these findings....and i also can confirm the differing spellings of hooper/hopper on the promo cd single versus the cassingle.....

jimct wrote: Todd, I have re-checked my promo CD single, and track 1 IS, in fact, spelled "Hopper", not "Hooper" - my original post spelling was correct. However, on my commercial CD single for the song (info for which I did not include in my original post), on Cut 3, the only one referring to "Nellee" on that disc, it does spell the name as "Hooper" on there. So, since it appears that even Soul II Soul's record company (Virgin) didn't know what the correct spelling was back in 1989, what are our chances of getting to the bottom of this issue in '08, gentlemen? :)

His name is Nellee Hooper. He's a pretty popular producer/remixer.
