Will the real M|A|R|R|S - "Pump Up the Volume" please stand up?

5th December 1987: SAW reference the impending court case in a remix, with the mock trial commencing from 4:01:

Stock Aitken Waterman’s disappointing ‘Pack Jammed (With The Party Posse)’ is also due on December 13 in a far better (0-)99¼-0bpm Writ Mix (Breakout USAF 620, flipped by the (0-)99¼bpm original), with lots of snips from the team’s other hit productions and John Sachs laying off on the “skiddendaddy” to play instead a high court judge who, by the use of amusing cut ups, seems to be trying M|A|R|R|S for sampling the scream from ‘Roadblock’ – this could indeed make the record sub judice as the “guilty” verdict might be seen to influence the real court case that’s pending!

Two US remixes of "Pump Up The Volume emerge:

M|A|R|R|S’ 113bpm US remix of ‘Pump Up The Volume’ (US 4th + B’way BWAY 452) has had its samples carefully vetted, and includes a new “Mars needs women” overlaid 113¼-0bpm Bonus Beat

4th June 1988: Rakim's sample re-emerges on L.A. Mix's "Check This Out", which peaks at #6 on the pop chart this week. The 7" version, and the video version that was shown on Top Of The Pops, also feature James Hamilton's filmed riposte ("GET OFF!"), at 1:52.

17th December 1988:

Stock Aitken Waterman’s case against M|A|R|R|S (for the unauthorised use of a snip from ‘Roadblock’ in ‘Pump Up The Volume’), long anticipated as a test case about sampling, appears to have ended up by being settled out of court in Pete Waterman’s favour, thus depriving the industry of some possible legal precedents.

24th December 1988: The saga concludes.

4AD Records, apologising unreservedly for not first obtaining permission before M|A|R|R|S used a two second sample of Stock Aitken Waterman ‘Roadblock’ in ‘Pump Up The Volume’ – to complete last week’s report – gave a donation at Pete Waterman’s request to the Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children, and a substantial contribution towards legal costs.

JH also notes that the acappella of Michael Jackson's similarly tempoed "Bad" synchs superbly over "Pump Up The Volume".

YSI?
