Ten Percent (song)

"Ten Percent" (also written as "Ten Per Cent") is a disco song written by Allan Felder and T.G. Conway and recorded by Double Exposure. Originally released on the band's 1976 album of the same name, "Ten Percent" was later remixed by Walter Gibbons for a single released on Salsoul Records, the label's eighth ever release. Gibbons's remix of "Ten Percent" was the first commercially available 12-inch single.

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.
