How many disco 12'' records were released ?

It surely is an absurd question, but I just wonder how many 12'' records for disco were released back in the days, say, 1975-1989 ? Or else how many 12 inches were released annually in the peak year 1978 or 79 ? For I have checked out disco tunes for years but feel like it's infinite... Totally 100,000, 200,000 or more ?

Well Vince Aletti, used to complain that he was knee deep at times each week with new releases....

I can't remember where I found it, somewhere on the net, but I have a list at home which is at least 20 pages long of supposedly every single disco song released between the early 70's right up today. (I think I only printed up to around 1985.) I suppose I could scan it as a PDF and post it on the site if there was interested in this.

Yes, that's the site I got the list from.

Another reference which might add a bit to the overview of releases :

Black-Music Label Catalogues / Black-Music Database

Sorry to be late to respond, but I have found the URLs above very informative and will check them up in detail later. Thanks!:icon_smile: ...By the way, as might be expected, it seems so huge number of records were released back then and a little overwhelming:icon_eek:
