Read Love Saves the Day. Amazing history of disco and dance music culture from about 70-79. Huge discography of all the music listed in the book. You can find a lot of the tracks on YouTube. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0822331985?pc_redir=1411127185&robot_redir=1

Not about vinyl, per se, but Tim Lawrence's Love Saves the Day is a fantastic read on the early years of American dance/DJ culture.

A lot of it deals with the politics between record companies and the (non-radio) DJs used to promote their records in clubs, in public, etc. It also talks about the birth of the 12" single and how that completely fucked with music industry economics at the time. One of my favorite music reads.

Yeah: a bunch of the songs on my phone are off one of his compilations, along with David Mancuso and Nicky Siano. There's a great book on how that whole disco thing evolved over the '70s, called Love Saves The Day, after one of Mancuso's parties (with the obvious double meaning).
