Talk:A Tom Moulton Mix

Untitled
This is relevant within Disco culture, I assure you. It is a trademark that appears on over 4,000 pressed recordings (differnet titles!) so maybe it should a definition, don't you think? I concede that maybe merging it with Tom Moulton would be better.--Tednor 07:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that since Tom Moulton has had a very big role on the shaping of music, especially with the mixing and remixing of songs, basically starting the whole thing, and that "A Tom Moulton Mix" as become a label in itself, and can be found on thousands of records, it should still have an article for itself. Maybe for outsiders it will sound silly, but since an encyclopedia expands on every subject etc, this belongs in here. Dollvalley 17:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * While the impact that Tom Moulton had in his area is undoubtable, this page should be merged with the Tom Moulton article. There is no entry for Produced by Phil Spector, for example. The page Produced by George Martin relates to the album of the same name - which is what should be adopted here.--Sparklism 19:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I second that. This article is obviously padded, despite being only a few sentences long; it reads as if the author is trying very, very hard to expand the basic material beyond its optimal length. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The phrase is a trademark. Only in recent years would it have descernable meaning to the average person (as a "produced by" credit would).  At the time of its conception, it was quite esoteric and many saw it on records but had no idea what it really meant ("mixing" and "remixing" were not in the popular vernacular at the time).  If one views it not as a credit for artistic contribution, not as a trademark even, but simply as an artefact (which it indeed is...) which conjures a whirlwind of social, sexual, amd musical culture, then it becomes clear that it is uniquely and enitity in itself with powerful implications for those interested in Western Musical Culture.  Mr. Moulton was the first prominently-credited mixdown specialist and his trademark preceded the general knowledge of just exactly what he was even doing.  Also, if we start to cite the recordings emblazoned with this slogan and let the numbers grow (and they would indeed), the fact is made clear that this is no ordinary production credit.  It was the first in its class and remains in a class by itself.

Re-vamp
I've re-created this article from it's previous re-direct. Per "Produced by Phil Spector", there is indeed a compilation titled "A Tom Moulton Mix". We can probably expand on it with the terminology held by some other editors here as well. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:41, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Great work - looks like I had been meaning to do that for about 15 years... :)  — sparklism  hey! 20:45, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Seconded, - I've just come across this, and it's great to see it restored and looking like a proper article now. I'm sure this got reviewed in the dance music magazines of the time, as well as other print media... I do seem to remember it getting a lot of attention across the board, given the legendary name involved in mixing the record. Richard3120 (talk) 20:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
