The original 1989-1990 release. The female voice sample (singing: "I've got the power!") is taken from the 1985 Jocelyn Brown hit Love's Gonna Get You.

A The Power (Transformer Mix)
AA The Power (Generator Mix) -
Sealed copy of this bootleg going spare. Msg for further info. -
So this version with the black label was released in 1989 (according to the label) but has the Turbo B verse (“Like the snap of the whip … and you don’t want that!”), NOT the Chill Rob G verse (“Don’t say this, don’t say that, change your lyrics…”).
So am I correct that there were two versions of this record, both released as LOGIC 612 938:
* Black label, contains Turbo B vocals, 5:42 https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/229154-Snap-The-Power
* Light-gray label, contains original Chill Rob G sample from “Let the Words Flow”, 5:42 https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/20337-Snap-The-Power
Were this version and the Chill Rob G version released at the same time? -

Legendary track and one of the reasons why I got into House in the first place. It was an easy transition since I was already in love with Hip Hop at the time. Once Hip Hop faded out, House took over my soul. So many memories... Love the 'Power Dub' -

does anybody know if this version is different from the "Power Jam" release on Wild Pitch? -
i don't think this is a 89 release. This is the 90 remix with "Turbo B" (even the cover shows a 90 date). The 89 mix is basically an unauthorized sample of "Chill Rob G", and this remix is a response to him releasing "Power Jam" on Wild Pitch Records.

OMG that original by Luca Anzilotti and Michael Münzing with the Rob G vocals! True masters of sampling. This whitelabel set a new high standard! -
Edited 4 years agoreferencing The Power (Cassette, Single, Dolby) CAS-2013
The U.S. Single Version is superior in every way to the 5:42 original version: It has more samples & elements and is much, much more interesting to listen to.
The differences between the U.S. Single Version and the original single mix (the one used in the video) are a bit subtle...the U.S. one is missing the Russian dialogue at the start, has the hi-hats missing from the 2-bar section that preludes Jocelyn's "I've Got The Power" sample, and takes longer to get to the first Turbo B rap (among some other structural differences that makes it flow much nicer). -
referencing The Power (12", 45 RPM, Maxi-Single) 612 938
The one and only original version with the Chill Rob G sample - long time before they had to hire Turbo B due to the succes. -
referencing The Power (7", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo) 112 938
Strange thing. The actual duration of side B is 3:43
