MARRS - Pump Up The Volume (Remix) (UK 12'') (1987)
"Pump Up the Volume" is the only single by British recording act M|A|R|R|S. Recorded and released in 1987. In Europe a second 12" single was released featuring a "Remix". This remix became the best-known version of the track, transforming it by the addition of numerous samples which provided the record with additional hooks besides its oft-repeated title chant, such as samples of tracks by Public Enemy, Criminal Element Orchestra and the Bar-Kays being used. It was this remix, rather than the original, that was edited down to create the 7-inch version of the track, which began picking up radio play.
The single reached #1 on the U.K. singles chart.
