Ten Percent (song)
1976 single by Double Exposure
In 1976, Salsoul Records released their eighth release, Walter Gibbons' remix of Double Exposure's disco song "Ten Percent".[2] "Ten Percent" was the first commercially available 12-inch single.[3][4] Although, according to the record label, the actual title of this record is Ten Per Cent, not Ten Percent.[5]
The 12-inch single was reserved for DJs until the release of "Ten Percent." Disco had already begun to exploit the 12-inch's allowance for higher volumes, better sound quality, and longer playing time, but no record companies had previously seen commercial value in the new format.[6]
