some nice labels with quality disco:
prelude, salsoul, harlem P&P records, westend
for some good compilations:
Disco spectrum 1,2 and 3 on BBE
Diso forever on BBE
Jumping 1 & 2 on Harmless
Disco Juice (Funky Disco Sound Of Harlem's P&P Records)
Classic Disco on Mastercuts Beechwood
Classic Salsoul Mastercuts 1&2 on Mastercuts Beechwood
now you should have a fine collection of full 12" versions of quality disco
music
