80s DISCO-FUNK POWERHOUSE: The Jacksons – Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) / Walk Right Now (Original 1987 US Epic 12" Club Pressing — Mixed Masters Series / Wally Traugott Master Cut)

Add an electrifying dancefloor essential to your vinyl collection with this authentic, original 1987 US 12" maxi-single pressing from Epic Records' legendary Mixed Masters series (Epic – 49H 06910).

Custom-engineered to deliver peak club-level sound pressure, this release pairs two of the Jacksons' most celebrated, high-energy extended remixes back-to-back on a single piece of wax. Side A features the sprawling, uncompressed 8:36 John Luongo Special Disco Re-Mix of "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)," complete with its iconic percussion breakdown. Side AA (Side B) delivers the blistering 7:35 John Luongo 12" Mix of "Walk Right Now" from the 1980 Triumph era.

Mastered at Capitol Mastering by legendary cutting engineer Wally Traugott (Wly), this 12" single unlocks massive dynamic headroom, deep sub-bass response, and crisp stereo separation that standard 7" singles and album pressings cannot replicate.

Condition & Grading

Graded conservatively using standard Goldmine parameters:

• Record Condition: Very Good Plus / Excellent (VG+ / E)

  The vinyl retains strong, bright factory gloss with only faint, superficial paper handling marks that do not affect playback. Wally Traugott’s master cut delivers massive, thumping basslines, crisp conga/cowbell percussion transients, and soaring vocal clarity with clean backgrounds and zero inner-groove distortion.

• Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus / Excellent (VG+ / E)

  The original jacket is clean, crisp, and structurally sound, showing bright artwork colors, solid seams, a strong spine, and only minor, light shelf/edge wear.

Why This 12" Single Belongs in Your Collection

Epic’s 1987 "Mixed Masters" releases are revered by DJs and audiophiles for bypassing the heavy dynamic compression of standard LP releases. Spreading John Luongo's extended 12" disco arrangements across dedicated, wide grooves allows Wally Traugott’s analog lathe cut to reproduce Jimmy Maelen's four-minute percussion solo and Michael Jackson’s energetic lead vocals with incredible three-dimensional punch. Graded in solid VG+/E condition throughout, this is a must-have club classic for serious funk, disco, and Jacksons completists.
