Phil's preferred sellers in GEMM:
I'm not plugging these companies for any financial reason, just because I order disco music from them regularly and I'm happy with their services
Un-scene Records - UNSCENEREC
Based in Chicago, UNSCENE is the cheapest place on the web for a lot of disco 12". Bill has a great selection of 12" singles from 1978-1980, although few before. Labels? Best if you're looking for Casablanca, T.K. Disco, Arista etc. I even found quite a few Salsoul, (early) West End and Prelude 12"s here. Most of his 12" records are $5 each.
Black Rhythm Records - BRR
Based in Holland this is a good bet for the European customer (although most of their stock is US 12"). This is the place to be for labels like Chocolate City (they have nearly every item on this label!) and West End. Their prices begin at around $5.99 although most items will be more than this.
Beach Bum Collectables - BEACHBUM
Long established in GEMM on the web, Beachbum seem to have the rarest and largest selection of disco 12" in GEMM. Al's site is especially good because he provides a complete description of each record in stock, complete with music style, producer etc. and any interesting facts about the record. He is also extremely knowledgeable about early 12" disco records and the early days of disco so if you have any questions about these he'll probably know the answers!
