Not sure if this is any use but I'm reading "Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco" so I am listening to "Nicky Siano's Legendary The Gallery: The Original New York Disco 1973-77" a compilation of proto disco.

Any specific recommendations from the book or compilation?

I'm intending to write a big (for me) blog entry when I'm done. But at my reading speed that will be in several weeks. The CDs the book has made me listen to most are "A Tom Moulton Mix" and "Journey into Paradise: The Larry Levan Story". Both of those are double CDs so don't buy them if you hate disco :-) I was feeling jaded about "rock" and this disco thing is great for me.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your post. I'm not sure I could take two double CDs of disco, but I'll certainly give the highlights a listen once you've done the heavy lifting and come up with recommendations.
