Greg Wilson
Credit To The Edit - Vinyl Three

Listening notes

Greg Wilson's Credit To The Edit series continued in 2005 with its third vinyl installment, released on Tirk Records under catalog number TIRK013. The release presents three edited tracks spanning disco, electro, and electronic genres, distributed across two sides of a single record.

The A-side opens with "Sunshine (Edit)" at six minutes and thirty-eight seconds, followed by "Ooh, I Love It (Love Break) (Edit)" at four minutes and fifty-two seconds. The B-side is given over entirely to a single extended piece, "You Can't Have Your Cake And Eat It Too (Edit)," which runs to eight minutes and fifty-eight seconds, making it the longest track on the release by a considerable margin.

As the title Credit To The Edit suggests, the series foregrounds the practice of editing itself as a distinct creative act, applying that sensibility to material drawing from disco, electro, and electronic traditions. Wilson, a figure associated with the early development of DJ culture in the United Kingdom, had built a reputation around edit work, and this release sits within that broader ongoing project.

The three tracks together account for just over twenty minutes of music, a total running time consistent with a standard twelve-inch or ten-inch vinyl configuration, though the exact format specifications beyond the vinyl designation are not detailed in the available information.

Tirk Records, operating out of the UK, served as the label home for this release, as it did for other entries in the Credit To The Edit series. TIRK013 places this third volume within the label's sequential catalog, situating it as a mid-series entry in what would become an extended run of releases under the Credit To The Edit name.
