Folks! So I have an update for you regarding this version that I found on YouTube about a week ago. I'll save everyone the trouble to find my original post and give you the link again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU-9lHrSe6k

In the comments, the YouTuber told me where he got this version from. By the way, my YouTube channel (1 of 3) is Kiss Fan Mac (don't ask, lol :P).

It's a 3 CD compilation called: 80's Top Killers Vol. 2 (kind of a weird title).It was released in March of 2010 by Sony.The UPC is:1229677296, from what I saw from another website. Unfortunately, discogs has no listing for it but anyone can double check just to make sure. I googled the title and found a link to the 3 CD set, but there are no running times on it. This is the link to it:

I think this was made in Poland. I've got some stuff to do tonight so I only went through a few results and seeing things about serial killers. If anyone has time to search this a little more, please do. Oh and sorry, I dont know how to highlight links on here. I'm foreign when it comes to forum stuff.

The YouTuber that posted the version running 3:32, says it's a radio edit. I would tend to agree that this is just an early fade of the single version.]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2022 22:22:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62119&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62119 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62084&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62084 Author: mjb50

Ah, OK. That explains what I was seeing in the spectrogram. There is indeed a different source for the tail end. Still, you did a great job making it seamless.

Nowadays when I do my own edits, I am sure to tag & name it such that it's clear that it's a fan reconstruction. I see Ron does this on some of his edits, even summarizing the sources and specific edits. 20 years ago, I probably wouldn't have bothered, but I've learned since then that I'm far more prone to making mistakes than I like to think. I can be so confident that I've nailed it (whatever "it" is), and then several years later I take another listen, and can't believe what I missed. Or I just wonder where the heck the edit came from. Oh well... at least it's a labor of love.

This is an extremely interesting and complicated thread. Unfortunately, I can't help with any sources worth mentioning.

I looked at a few of my euro collections from the period and found hardly a mention of this particular song. I'm guessing that it wasn't much of a "Hit" overseas at the time?

I do remember the song though as being a fav on the Pop and A/C stations here. ]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2022 18:52:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62083&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62083 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62082&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62082 Author: aaronk

I dug up two more stock copies from my collection. Both are pressed on vinyl and both have RE in the matrix (both label and deadwax). I also found a test pressing on styrene, which just has the artist and title handwritten on a white label. This also has RE in the deadwax. Finally, I have a promo pressed on vinyl, and again, there's RE in both the deadwax and on the label.]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2022 16:29:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62082&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62082 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62076&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62076 Author: aaronk

The file mjb50 has from my collection is close to 20 years old, so I can't say for sure what the source is. I think, however, I edited the existing CD version to match and then added the missing fade out from TM Century's copy. (Back then, I didn't have nearly as good of a setup, nor the skills, to do my own vinyl transfers and cleanups.) I should probably work on a new file at some point.

Earlier in the thread, I mentioned I had found a copy of the 45 with a 3:46 printed time, and I made a dub to my hard drive. That dub runs exactly 4:17.8 and ends about one second sooner than the YouTube 45 dub.]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2022 08:14:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62076&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62076 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62075&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62075 Author: mjb50

On YouTube there is a US 45 playing slightly fast so that it ends at 4:13. The fadeout goes into a section with ad-libbed vocals: "ohh whatcha do, there to do, whatcha do".

Apparently the French 45 (also playing slightly fast, I think) has the same version, possibly faded out slightly sooner in that same section (the rip cuts off before the fade is done).

I have a clean 4:17 digital copy from AK's collection which has swapped left & right channels (e.g. intro shaker is on the left, strings slightly right), and it fades out even sooner, right after "ohh whatcha do" in that section. Is this how it is on some 45s, and is this an actual vinyl rip?

AutumnAarilyn wrote: That elusive 7" y'all are looking for may have been only been issued in the UK.

As it turns out, the UK 45 is also on YouTube, albeit as a mono rip of just one channel (the one without the shaker). It's the same as the others, but fades out at 4:13, right before the "ohh whatcha do" section.

I think the single version(s) use a combination of vocal takes, partly the same as the LP (just with different effects) and partly some that are not on the LP.

As for 12" versions:
• 5:25 Remix – Chorus vocal starts @ 1:22. On a recent bootleg compilation. This may be the Sanny X remix.
• 5:43 12" Remix Version – Has 0:04 rimshot countoff on CD but not the EU 12" (601 596). Chorus vocal starts @ 0:37. From the 2012 expanded edition of Dynamite.
• 5:48 Instrumental – This is on the EU 12" (601 596) and Has 2 rimshots, then a pause before the start. No vocals.
• 5:37 Club Mix – Same vocal takes as LP version. No strings. It's on the above bootleg and the 2009 Jermaine Jackson JP reissue.

About the common 4:25 CD version (and its earlier-faded 3:58 "Single Edit" companion): it begins with a single rimshot, but there's also a simultaneous kick drum on it. The rimshots on the 12" versions don't have the kick.

The overall mix of the 12" version is just a tiny bit different, and there is also a vocal overdub on the 7" version that is not on the 12" version. At 3:25 of the 12" version you don't hear the "oooooh" background vocals that are on the 45 (at 3:13).]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2022 11:20:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62074&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62074 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62073&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62073 Author: AutumnAarilyn

Hey Aaronk:

I just listened to the 12" and the 7" and what did you find
different between them where they can't be edited down.
Were vocals over a different spot or different percussion
in the mix?

That elusive 7" y'all are looking for may have been only
been issued in the UK.]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2022 11:09:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62073&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62073 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62072&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62072 Author: aaronk

I don't think this shorter version ever made it to vinyl in 1984. It seems like a very early fade of the correct 7" version.]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2022 23:15:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=273&PID=62072&title=jermaine-jackson-do-what-you-do#62072
