The Three Degrees are Sheila Ferguson, Valerie Holiday and Fayette Pinkney - and their big disco project from 1978 is “New Dimensions” produced by Giorgio Moroder. This being one of the sensations of music for the time period: the vocals of The Three Degrees and the sharp electronic sound of Moroder. “Jump The Gun” is from their 1979 follow-up project titled “3D” which was also produced by Giorgio Moroder. This ticket was yet another disco gem for both producer and the ladies where the project provided the right balance of dance/disco tracks along with beautiful ballads. “Jump The Gun” is the headliner warning from the ladies warning an excitable beau that taking the steps slowly is the only way to move on in romance. The heavy guitar work gives the song a touch of disco/rock along with the Degrees burning up the track.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Jump The Gun” and reshot the message again for this ReStructure Mix. Moroder’s classic sequencer parts and moog keyboards are used in parts and loops to recreate a new experience for this teasing number.
