In the second half of years `70, with growing of destined music to the dance, a new fonomeccanico support assumed remarkable importance, commonly called discomix or maxisingolo, 45 turns of 12 inches (cm. 30 of diameter). , Initially such padelloni of vinile they acquitted in dear way to all a series of inner functions of advertising type to the music business: it served to the esordienti in order to introduce itself to the public, above all to the attache's to the intense activities, with than more acceptable via than half between the little one 45 turns and the long distance of egg whites (L.P), land of fact not the much less impegnativo one of the realization of a cinematographic lungometraggio. For the groups asserted instead the mix it served to introduce the new egg whites in escape. These large 45 turns carried out, in fact, such task because, as it was custom, the considered piece pulling ahead of the entire job, (natural candidate to the escape on the little one 45 turns), came proposed in a differentiated version, often ritmicamente elaborated, long more an entire differentiated facade, with a minutaggio that in some occasion succeeded in to exceed the 10 minuteren. In the back the version standard of the piece and a third generally unknown piece or, in other occasions, the instrumental version of the same song was often found. It was be a matter of confection that found use to professional level more, than near the normal public of disc purchasers. In Italy, in via of development was received warmly from then migliaia the local radio stations and from the many it knows them from dance that they were born like fungi. From the point of view of the sonorous quality the disc-mix began to introduce an assay of the new sonorous standards that would have been asserted in the successive years. It was an elementary issue of measures, space on hand of the tracks: the 33 turns with its 20 minuteren of music on 30 cm. had of the limits of fidelity of the sound, were too many tracks in too much little space. While the disc-mix in same 30 cm contained alone 10/15 minuteren of recording to the maximum. Padelloni they contributed to the remarkable qualitative increment of the emissions of radius FM (the times of the processori Orban ET similia were still far) and to the devastating power of music in it knows them from dance. The operating semplicità joins then, that is the possession of the objects of 30 cm with a single piece, (what it served) on the first facade, Vincente characteristic, that carried, shortly time, single discs to 12 inches to a marked professional use, supplanting little one 45, at least in the approval of the DJs, and later on, also in the preferences of amatori and collectors to miscellaneous tito it. Like every small history of change in the world of the record industry, where the conservatorismo reigns sovereign, the impact was not immediate. To the dawn of the era disc many single ones were uniforms partially 1 and Part 2, on the side To and on the side B. first part was constituted from the main body of the melodia, while the second part contained instrumental material adds them. As an example, in the event of Express of the BT Express, the DJs was forced to overlap two equal discs on two separated plates, in order to extend the length of the piece. Moreover, the 45 turns stretched to assume a metallic sound, in case the volume was enough high, to the aim to create the just atmosphere disc and, often, ingigantivano the numerous imperfections of the press on vinile. II format twelve inches, was born for case, - the producer Tom Moulton asserts - was preparing a test press on vinile of the piece I'll Holding Be On of Al Downing, but Jose Rodriguez had exhausted discs from seven inches vergini on which being able to record, it suggested therefore me to pour the material on an empty vinile from twelve inches, although, to my warning, it was a sin, since the single one occupied space only little, but it advised me to Rodriguez to increase it and to spread the recording on more traces. The quality of the sound was thrilling Although the increase of the volume was a detection, the acetate (that is the press of test on vinile for the control of the frequencies) of Al Downing did not take advantage of to the maximum the potentialities of the format, conceived in order to accommodate recordings of greater duration: but from there to some time, the things changed remarkablly. In fact, to the aim to improve the sound, some American record houses tried to obviate to the problem, being produced single discs in the format to 12 " for advertising use, even if, initially, the versions were transferred on this support only originate them of the 45 extracted turns or of the egg whites, to the pure scope to improve of the sonorous quality. Before the advent of the mix of greater duration then, the Tamla- Motown gave life to the label Eye Cut, thought specifically in order to produce the single ones from 12 demands from the DJs. In order to make sure the maximum profit from the sales, it was fundamental that pieces circulated in the discotheques. The first company to produce an which extended version to 12 of 45 turns of kind disc was the Scepter/Wand. The disc in issue bound together Nice and Slow of Jesse Green to cover of the piece a Get Lifted of KC and the Sunshine Band in the version of Sweet Music. Quickly the CBS/Epic I reply with the Found Love (On to Floor Disc) of the Temprees, while an other 12 " of the first hour was Dance Dance Dance of Calhoun. The Atlantic was the first record house to print all practically its production disc in the advertising format to 12 and, like result, it obtained the successes of That's Where the Happy People Go of the Trammps, Love or Leave of the Spinners. Between other advertising discs, escapes in the new format, remember Be Thankful for What You've Got of William DeVaughan, Why Can't We Live Togheter of Timmy Thomas, Fly Robin Fly of Silver Convention. But it was only after the succeeded sweeping of Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel of Tavares, dated 1976, than reperibili discs of this divennero invoice also in the stores, as a result of the pressing demands for the public. The consequence of this phenomenon in becoming was the escape of a series of vinili from 12 inch, between which Ten Percent of Double Exposure for the leggendaria Salsoul label, My Baby's Got ESP of Four published Below Zero from Roulette and I give What You Wanna Do of T-Connection for TK of Miami. All these new microtracks were equipped from covered some illustrated from collection. An absolute innovation for those times: on those of the TK, as an example, a tropical island with the logo was effigiata of the company in characters to bamboo cane form. Above-mentioned the 12 inches of Jesse Green, resumed from the Sweet Music, were recorded from Tom Moulton, which later on will contribute to the happened one of Crown Heghts Affair and Brass Construction. This estroso sound-engineer, collaborator of Billboard, for which it cured the rubrica of the classifiche dance, comes considered the pioneer of the format disc-mix. It was to introduce Gloria Gaynor and always to he the rifacimento of I'll Holding Be on of Al Dowling, large succeeding dance of the '75 must, thought, to unanimous judgment, the first piece in absolute to being remixato in order to please the preferences of the public of the clubs. For the first time, on the cover of a disc the mixato written one from Tom Moulton appeared. The sonorous quality guaranteed era and the happened one in track insured. Without to count that the discs of such duration turned more over a long time span on the plates, a not negligible factor for any emergent group that it wanted is introduced. To Moulton and its brilliant colleagues, fine pioneers of the art of the king-mixing, which Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons, Rick Gianatos and Jim Burgess. he came asked to create long introductions and sequences of break in the part he centers them of the piece, to the aim of facilitated to the DJs the change or missaggio operations and in order to allow to fully take advantage of the musical characteristics of pieces. The breaks, moreover, they gave the possibility. to the authors of the remix and the DJs of reinterpretare the piece second their personality, inserting various pieces, but from the corresponding rhythm or segments of the same song in different order. Walter Gibbons distorted Ten Percent of Double Exposure as an example, leaving from a trace of egg whites that lasted three minuteren, transforming it in a long sequence of breaks eleven minuteren. It was this piece, than more than any other, rivoluzionò the scene of the premises underground of New York, revealing to the DJs the real potentialities of an instrument like the disc-mix and beginning to diffuse, to oil spot, its I use all over the world. The style of Gibbons was characterized from the attention to the percussivi elements of the piece and to the voice of the singer. While the majority of the other contemporary Salsoul productions heavy was orchestrated, it went to the essence of the piece that remixava in version 12 inches. Two productions Salsoul, Disc Boogie Volumes 1 and the 2 (first egg whites disc from party of all the times) and Madness Disc, introduced Gibbons to the maximum of its inspiration like remixer. For its part Tom Moulton, at the end of the '75, introduced two volumes Gold Disc, rivisitando and remixando some of the best titles them of the Scepter/Wand catalogue, as Undecided Love of the Chequers and Chinese Kung Was of Banzaii. It goes instead to an other DJ, David Mancuso, owner of the famous newyorkese club Loft, the merit of the idea to constitute a mayoralty disc to subscription, a species of confederation of DJs, organized in such way to regularly receive from the record houses all the new exited in format mix. The introduction of the single ones to 12 inches had a decisive effect on the culture of knows them from dance: their impact increased, ulteriorly, with passing of the months. The authors, in fact, could now employ the greater duration of this new format, in order to manifacture the songs in more adherent way to the tastes of the public of the discotheques. If many pieces written before the advent of disc mix finished of blow, with consequent effect of frustration, now the songs could be transformed in true suite musical with a lot of long fadings, chiaroscuri sinfonici, complex vocal interpretations and versatile ritmiche structures. A world indeed extra-large, exploratory fact of pioneers, experimenters and of sounds. Objects indeed beautiful, padelloni to 12 inches, still today, flagmen, for collectors and assigned to the intense activities, of a fascinating and unforgettable age. Other that MP3 or MP4!
