│║ 1988 CD reissue of this LP. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Classic Salsoul band of mid 1970's. "Ten percent" was a ║│
│║ dancefloor anthem of 1976, written by Baker, Harris & Young. Some ║│
│║ say this was the first 12" single ever released in May 1976, ║│
│║ although this is not true. It was actually the first commercially ║│
│║ released 12" single and sold over 100,000 copies in the US. (At ║│
│║ least 100 12" promo-only singles had been released in the US ║│
│║ before this record). Anyway it's certainly a great record, and ║│
│║ the 12" features two long disco mixes by Walter Gibbons and Ken ║│
│║ Kayne. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ A vocal quartet from Philly, Double Exposure owes a great deal of ║│
│║ their notoriety to mixing maestro Walter Gibbons, who was ║│
│║ responsible for the songs they are best remembered for: "Ten ║│
│║ Percent" and "My Love Is Free." On his extended mix of "Ten ║│
│║ Percent," Gibbons took a pedestrian three minute album cut and ║│
│║ with a sprinkle of disco magic turned it into a percussive nine ║│
│║ minute tour de force whose popularity as a promo item ║│
│║ necessitated its release to the general public, making it ║│
│║ history's first commercially available 12 inch single. ║│
│║ Gibbons struck gold a second time on "Free," getting maximum ║│
│║ emotional returns from Jimmy Williams' passionate, pleading ║│
│║ voice, particularly on the vamp, where Williams nearly reaches ║│
│║ Loleatta Holloway-like levels of expression. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ The sophomore album Four Play yielded no such gems, so they ║│
│║ turned to Bobby "DJ" Guttadaro to return them to dancefloor ║│
│║ glory. "I Got the Hots For Ya" did the trick, receiving play in ║│
│║ the Paradise Garage while becoming their biggest hit, reaching ║│
│║ #33 on Billboard. Frustrated with their inability to score a ║│
│║ large mainstream hit, they disbanded in 1980. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Double Exposure's Deepest Grooves ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Ten Percent (Salsoul, 1977) ║│
│║ Double Exposure at their finest. The two best tracks they cut in ║│
│║ the title jam and "My Love Is Free" plus "Everyman," a lyric of ║│
│║ harsh self-sufficiency that runs counter to the prevailing logic ║│
│║ of the times. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Remember to support these artists by some method if you like them ║│
│║ by going to their concerts / buying more of their material / etc. ║│

│║ Grooves at the top. We will constantly keep bringing you the very ║│
│║ best in disco-soul, rare grooves, jazz-funk etc. Like wine, a good ║│
