Talk:Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jive Bunny arguably marks the point at which number one hits for new artists became commonplace, rather than a rarity.

I removed this because it isn't true without a more specific definition of "new artists". The vast majority of performers never have a #1 hit at all. If someone can clarify what was meant and add it back, that would be great. Tokerboy

[edit] Really samples??

I remember to hear the first three singles and to enjoy the way the real versions are mixed together. But at the time i downloaded the albums the real samples are there no more! And the versions are like you said before, only a new Stars at 45. Anybody have any information of this?? Thanks FerBeat

I would guess copyright reasons - this was before the notable UK copyright cases over sampling in the early 1990s - Beats International were involved in one in the early 1990s for the amount of samples in "Dub Be Good To Me" - although, going by my Number Ones collection here, the last Jive Bunny #1 was only 5 #1's before Dub Be Good To Me. Still - licence fees could have been too high. --Kiand 23:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
