The text preserves varying styles from the published material while correcting minor spelling issues and standardizing titles. Due to space constraints, it omits some chart formats and reduces repetitive passages, maintaining imports references and selecting the least repetitive content. The volume also contextualizes Aletti’s role as a foundational disco writer and critic who helped shape US club culture.","THEDISCOFILES973-78  \nNew York's underground,week by weekREFERENCEbyVince

corrected a few spelling errors in artists,labels and titles,and put all titles in a consistent style.For space we sadly had to losethe formats from the charts (ie“album cut,\"\"disco disc,”etc),though we kept references to imports.There were minor cuts insome of the articles to avoid repetition.Whereas Vince ran a Top 20chart every week,we only had space to include one roughly everymonth (it moves slowly),and we had to lose four or five club chartswhen they all got too damn long.Don't worry though,we alwayscut the least interesting one.  \nDJhistory.com  \n14 Jack's Place6
