I found it!!! This is a must to have... Ten Percent & My Love is Free are constantly played at all the clubs-mixed. The music is ageless and gets everyone on to the floor.
This is pure gold!Tuesday, December 24, 2002
The vinyl and the cd versions I have are original I guess though they do not contain the 12" mix of 'My Love Is Free', no big deal since the album version is far better. Anyway, this album and Trammps 'That's Where The Happy People Go' album should be nominated for Disco Hall of Fame, the two best albums ever.

Superlative example of 70's fusion of soul and discoTuesday, July 06, 1999
This album has fond memories for me. Way back in 1976 I bought (in England) the (US) Import 12" of Double Exposure's 'Ten Percent'. The 'A' side features the Tom Moulton mix, the 'B' side the album version. To say it blew me away is a BIG understatement - this 1 track provided me with the impetus to go and search out a whole new concept of music, namely the whole 12" Soul/Disco thing. At the time the 12" was a very new concept - but it helped dance music get the universal appeal it has now through introducing a concept whereby ANYONE could actually buy the track! Hail the innovators!! Anyway, 10% ... mmm what can I say other than ... the rhythn is (still) great, the vocals both soulful and funky, and if you ever get to own a vinyl version and start mixing, well you can see where THIS type of sound went. Oh, forgot to say, the mainstays of the backing band are Ron Baker, Norman Harris, and Earl Young - absolutely brilliant perople who seemed to pop up all over the place on 70's and 80's soul/funk/disco type things. Probably their best known 'creation' was as the Trammps. The album? In a word - brilliant! A mix up fabulous uptempo tracks with so much rhythm it is positively impossible NOT to move to it, and some slower stuff that still hits the spot.
BUY THIS OR ELSE!!!
