The tale goes that most DJs would finish at four of a night, so they could catch Walter Gibbons from five until ten. Here Salsoul have released a glossy package of 3 CDs to commemorate ten years since he passed away, and it more than does him justice. Included here are the first ever commercial 12”, Double Exposure’s ‘Ten Percent’, and Gibbons’ revolutionary treatment of Loleatta Holloway’s ‘Hit And Run’, opening the door to the art of remixing. Other gems include the Salsoul orchestra’s version of ‘Catch Me On The Rebound’, a wide screen disco treat. An essential part of house music’s evolution.
