I am sorry i don't believe this is true AT ALL. Jarre NEVER did Popcorn. It's not in its discography nor is typical of what he was into in 1972, which was far from commercial hits. I think this is one of the various alternate versions from either one of Kingsley's associated acts.
@argomax1 Jarre did a lot of freak things before Oxygène, like 2 French power ballads (one of them later known as Rendez-Vous II), and the soundtrack for a children's TV show.
This was played before Sesame street in Holland in the 70's I think, totally digged it's way into my brain back then, anyways, happy feelings for me, so all is well, and still an awesome tune :)
The harshness off beat tempo of the drums in this song is what makes me love it so much. And those synths...Gack. I feel like this would be something that a bunch of bored crafty 60's kids would come up if kept in a basement with a synthesizer for too long. Then again a lot of Jarre's music makes me feel this way.
This is GOOD! I've listened to this while in 1972 appeared, I bought a Philips C-cassette player and a box of batteries. : D Well done, Mr. Jarre is becoming a 'while' in Finland 2011. Yes.
@rjam1974 it is not ahead of its time kraftwerk were around with their origanl stuff when they were called orgnisation and there were other bands later in the 70s
@cooldevinis You'd be surprised at how much the very beginnings of electronic and synthetic music influenced moder day techno. Heck, the Doctor Who theme came out in 63 and it basically invented the whole genre.
So where is REAL JMJ popcorn? Everywhere almost everyone says "it's not Jarre popcorn","it's made by [...]", next time will you say "it's s***, not JMJ popcorn!!!"?!
Music class 3th grade 1973 I'll never forget it. It sounded so electric. I wonder who the fabulous woman was that brought the 45 record and played it for us at our once weeky music class. The only other thing I remember about the class was the learning Mary Had A Little Lamb on the recorder.
The Moog Syntheiser. The most beautiful and powerful electronic instrument outside of the bass and drums ever invented.
If you like old school syntheiser sound music like this check Gershon Kingsley's Pop Corn and Hugo Montenegro's Moog Power from 1969 here on You Tube.
There is a film clip on here of the late Dr. Bob Moog playing THE LAST EVER made Mini moog (Manufactured in 1980) That machine will be worth a f~king fortune!!!!..You simply could not buy it!
@BBQFanNo1 Emerson Lake And Palmer (Lucky Man) and Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon), Yes (Yours Is No Disgrace) to name a few more from the early 70's.
I remember listening to this in 1972 in Vezia Switzerland while going to college at Point Park at the Swiss Campus and eating at the local pizzeria. Anybody from PPC there at that time. Kevin /Dallas TX
Clasica, de mis anios de infancia en mi cuna ya tenia el don de escuchar buena musica gracias a mis tios y primos mayores!!!! y por supuesto gracias a Jarre, Vitalic etc.
This is definitely the Jarre Version released in 1972. He released about 12 singles in '72 with 5 issues of Pop Corn in different European countries. The artwork is from the original French release from Jarrres pseudonyms of Pop Corn Orchestra and Jammie Jefferson. Gershon Kingsley wrote the original in 1969,but Jarres version sounds closer to the group Hot Butters released earlier in 1972. Hot Butter was founded by Stan Free who 2 years earlier worked was bandmates with Gershon Kingsley.
This version of Popcorn is just a cover version performed by Jarre. The B side of this 7" is called 'Black Bird' which is actually a renamed track from Jarre's very first album 'Deserted Palace'
Awesome. Heard this one so much time when my vinyl player worked. And it was used in russian cartoon "Nu, pogodi!". So everyone heard and likes this tune.
No, Hot Butter also covered this Song. The Man, who invented this song was called Gershon Kingsley.. must have been around 1968 . Gershon Kingsley and Stan Free (from Hot Butter) both played this song on a Moog Modular Synthesizer. Pretty cool for this time :D
To be more precise: Gershon Kingsley composed it and many people made their covers, between them Hot Butter, Antoine and Pop Corn Orchestra (here with Jean Michel Jarre under pseudonym).
The Rarities compilation Zerjjio has already referenced is a must.
I can't believe he made this in 1972
