A few weeks ago I heard Jump on the local Jack station.
Nothing unusual about that...except that it included David Lee Roth's "OWW-OHH" vocal overdub that is at the 3:13 mark of the music video. Has this version appeared on CD somewhere that the station would have picked up on it? It's hard to believe someone would have gone out of their way to rip the video track to use on air, but I guess stranger things have happened. |

I've always been curious about that video version too. I have never
heard it on the radio. |

I've never known it to be on an actual record. I mixed my own using my "1984" LP and overlaying the vocalization from the video. That took a lot of EQ matching work. ------------- Cheers, Jody Thornton (Richmond Hill, Ontario) |

| Maybe the radio station was too cheap to buy a CD or mp3 and recorded it off YouTube, not knowing they're getting a unique mix (so to speak) |

As as little bit of trivia, I've discovered deep in the fade in the right channel at 3:59 a "thump" that's not audible unless you boost the volume at that part of the file. You can see it if you zoom into the wave.
It's there on:
The only source I have access to that doesn't have the click is the "Best of Both Worlds" compilation. Until I found the version on "Best of Both Worlds" was clean, I assumed the thump was on the master tapes. Now I suspect all of the above CDs are based on the same digital dub. I don't know if the original recording was fully digital or tape, although reading about the album on Wikipedia suggests tape. I can't hear this thump if listening to the song at anything below concert levels, and I doubt anybody else has ever heard it. I don't have the vinyl to confirm or deny the same thump being on the vinyl master (or even if it's visible in the surface noise). The "1984" album was reportedly remastered in 2000. Can anybody check and see if the "thump" is there, too? I'd be curious if anywhere else besides Best of Both Worlds has Jump without the thump. Nobody but us would care about this... but now you know. :-) (It does make me wonder if there are other anomalies in the original master that I just haven't caught yet.) ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Just checked my original issue of the CD and the thump is
there at 3:59.795, mainly in the right channel. So, yes, it's Jump with the Thump. |
