A Tom Moulton Mix

A Tom Moulton Mix is a phrase indicating that a dance record had been mixed by Tom Moulton. Prior to Moulton (and throughout his active years), no major player had prefaced their name with "A" and followed it with "Mix". One will find examples of this usage today, but in Mr. Moulton's heyday such usage was a definite a no-no for those seeking respect in the industry. Moulton seems to have okayed such usage by his contemporaries within the Salsoul Records family. Such usage would have given him the status of "mentor" rather than infringe his territory. In a late 1990s interview, Mr. Moulton himself cast aspersion upon Vincent Montana Jr.'s attempt to use this titling (Montana and Moulton were known to have had a difficult professional relationship).

"A Tom Moulton Mix" was later used as the title of a [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/tom-moulton/a-tom-moulton-mix.htm compilation] of Moulton's remixes on Soul Jazz Records.
