Just purchased a very large private 12" collection here in Miami from a retired NY DJ as well as a partner in a very large NY Record Pool. Loads of indi~promos~Test~Acetates~from 1972 to 1980. Please bookmark as i will be selling the best exclusively on ebay.Most are VG++ to NM as they were well stored (Climate control) and smokeless.

 

This was massive with all the old-school funky disco DJs like
David Mancuso at the Loft,
Nicky Siano at the Gallery,
as well as
Frankie Knuckles, Tee Scott, David Mancuso, Walter Gibbons,
and anyone else who was playing funky disco!
According to Tim Lawrence's liner notes
to the Salsoul Walter Gibbons triple CD compilation,
remix and DJ genius WALTER GIBBONS
is the uncredited remixer for this masterpiece:

"Gibbons remixed "Sun… Sun… Sun…" by Jakki
around the same time as "Ten Percent" — maybe just before,
maybe just after. Produced by Johnny Melfi and released on
Pyramid as a twelve-inch in 1976, the record contains
no reference to Gibbons, but Chatman, who was nicknamed
"Sunshine" because of her ultra-cheerful personality,
remembers Gibbons phoning her up to tell her
he was remixing the record.
"Walter called me and said, 'Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine!'" she remembers.
"Then he told me the name of the record."

"Sun… Sun… Sun…" hit the Record World disco charts in July,
a good two months after "Ten Percent", which suggests
the record was remixed after "Ten Percent".
Then again, the omission of Gibbons' name suggests
"Sun…" was released first: the "Ten Percent" twelve-inch
was such an overnight sensation that no label head in his right mind
would have dreamed of omitting the remixer's name from the label.
The roughness of the mix adds further weight to the theory that
it was put together before the much smoother "Ten Percent".

As for the record, "Sun…" is divided into three parts:
the regular song (which was released as a single),
followed by a looped break (which was snatched from
the beginning of the second side of the original seven-inch),
followed by a mix of the A and B-sides of the seven-inch.
The break — highly percussive, with trippy vocal bites fading in and out —
was typical of the drums-for-days reel-to-reels
Gibbons was compiling for his dancers, and it was
this section of the record that his contemporaries loved.

"It was a really bad song and Walter turned it into a nine-minute mix,"
says Smith, who received an acetate of the remix and
remembers that it was slow to attract attention
thanks to the fact that Pyramid was a small company and
the song was so off-the-wall. "The twelve-inch was very long and
included this three-minute break. We would just play
the break and after a while we grew to like the rest of the song.
The record got no play until it was mixed by Walter."
