No neither of my 12" "long" versions end cold.

Apparently there was no commercial vinyl 45 of Rapper's Delight as my copy says "radio station and jukebox use only" so I have gone back and clarified the comments in the database.

I've found a couple other tracks on the Street Jams series that had strange edits or endings to songs. It wouldn't surprise me if the "Rapper's Delight" version on that disc was not correct. Even though it's not a top 40 hit, I'll mention the song "Rappin' Duke" by Shawn Brown which is on the series. Rhino unsuccessfully attempted to re-create the 45 version on that one. Also, the song "A Fly Girl" by the Boogie Boys is a different version than both my 12" and the version that appears on the Rapmasters & Rap's Greatest Hits series (the latter two both on Priority Records).

Hi
I was always confused by the Whitburn entry of Rapper's Delight, since I purchased and owned a commercial 45 of the song in 1980. -MM |

You have a commercial vinyl 45 copy of "Rapper's Delight"?

Very interesting! What is the catalog number?
I was always under the impression that the first Sugarhill 7" single was "Apache" from 1982. BTW, give me the long 12" version of "Rapper's Delight" anytime! |

What is B-side of your "Rapper's Delight" 7-inch, Mark, if you still have it? Can you give us catalog number, running time, etc.? Are you POSITIVE it's a commerial issue?
If you don't still have it, it's possible what you're remembering is an "Apache" single from early '82 or late '81, which had as the B-side "Rapper's Delight." It's also possible you had an import and didn't know it. |

Hi
Alas - 'owned' was in the past, got rid of with a ton of other singles and albums. Sorry, i didn't think it was anything remarkable. I may know where that one went, I'll contact a friend and see if it's living there. I do recall very well though, it was not "Apache", I bought that one later. It was a commercial issue, regular light-blue Sugarhill label. I can't remember what was on the b-side. All i remember about the time was in the 4:00-ish range, started cold with the words "Now what you hear..." and towards the end, cuts to the verse with the friend's house where the "food ain't no good" and then quickly faded after that verse. I'm guessing one of the above-mentioned dj 45's would also have that edit.... -MM |

"Rapper's Delight" of the 12" single that I possess, it has the actual running time of (14:28) with the listed time "15:00" on the record label. (Sugarhill SH-542)
Therefore three different 12" pressings exist! |

I won't be able to play them for a few days, but I thought you might want to see label scans. These are permanently posted on my website at http://crapfromthepast.com/favorites/sights2/index.htm
You'll see that there are indeed different label/sleeve designs, along with different writer's credits (after Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards leaned on them). Whether or not there are different edits on the various incarnations will have to wait a few days... |
