Default 12" Dance Classics

Well, I'm not calling it the dreaded D word but you know what I mean: 12" club classics (decidedly not electronica) that still sound great today. Post your favorites!

Default Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Despite the arty presentation this is an instance where the remix almost ruins the track (IMO).







Here's the original album version:

Doctor Love First Choice



I suppose the Tom Moulton mix ^ is the classic. Shep Pettibone's is the more souped up/serious dance floor up version but I'm not crazy about the breaks.

This Mike Maurro mix is a nice, long & mellow version but the 70s flashback graphics really put it over.

There are so many great vintage 12 inch singles... Prince was interesting because he was not just doing an extended mix, but an extended song with solo, extra breaks, something close to a live set.
