Track list and history of Il Discotto after the jump…

Here’s some info on Il Discotto from Discogs.com:

Historic italo-disco label and distribution company started in 1982, and managed by Roberto Fusar-Poli. Settled in Sesto San Giovanni, and moved to Cologno Monzese in 1983 (two small towns near to Milano), was one of the biggest and top brands at the times, rivaling with Disco Magic.

It released many well-known artists like Gary Low, Doctor’s Cat, Brand Image, Martinelli, Paul Sharada, Betty Miranda, Reeds, Mike Rogers, Raggio Di Luna, Hot Cold, Eugene, Max Coveri, but also a good bunch of obscure italo. In its early releases, Il Discotto label had a strong electro-ish flavour, very appreciated now. Gay Cat Park, Bo Boss, Thanya, Trilogy, Some Bizarre, and Los Angeles T.F. are some good examples. Also distributed another no own labels like Memory Records, Cruisín’ Records, House Of Music, Did Records, and American Disco.

Il Discotto closed down circa first half of 1986 due to financial issues.
