Baby Jump

"Baby Jump" is a popular song by Mungo Jerry.

Written by the group's lead vocalist and guitarist Ray Dorset and produced by Barry Murray, it was the band's second UK No. 1 single, reaching the top for two weeks in March 1971. The song originally entered at #32 and dropped out of the chart due to lack of sales data because of a national postal strike, but re-entered two weeks later at #14.

Like the group's debut, In the Summertime, it was a maxi-single playing at 33 rpm. The second track on the A-side was a Paul King composition, "The Man Behind the Piano". The B-side, which had a playing time of 9 minutes 50 seconds, included live recordings from their Hollywood Festival appearance of "Maggie" (excerpt), "Midnight Special", and "Mighty Man".

A photograph of the group at their historic appearance on stage at the Hollywood Festival, Newcastle-under-Lyme, in May 1970, was used on the picture sleeve.

The cover picture (also used on the 'Electronically Tested' album) may actually be from a festival in Rotterdam.
