Salsoul
He enjoyed a long association with Salsoul Records at the end of the 1970s. His DJ skills, punctuality and seriousness convinced Salsoul to assign him the remix of "Ten Percent", by Double Exposure, even though he had never produced. It was the first commercially available 12-inch single in the world. This was his best-known remix.
His remix of "Hit and Run" by Loleatta Holloway was a surprise hit (he had considerably lengthened the recording and even removed Holloway's first two verses of vocals).
In 2004, Salsoul / Sussd' Records released a triple cd compilation with Walter's remixes for the label.
It is called Mixed with Love (Walter Gibbons Salsoul Anthology). It is composed of three discs, being #1 The Madness Begins..., #2 The Madness Continues... and #3 Total Insanity. These feature Gibbons' mixes of tracks by the likes of Loleatta Holloway, The Salsoul Orchestra, Double Exposure, First Choice, Love Committee and Anthony White among others. The tracks feature the 12" mix and the Disco Madness mix of some of the tracks like Loleatta Holoway's "Catch Me on the Rebound" - a different version is found on each of the three CDs.
The Anthology also includes a 40-page booklet with an essay, on Walter Gibbons work, by Tim Lawrence, author of Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture 1970-79.
