Below is a running list I have to DJ marathon records. There is no single canonical source, so I've tried to caveat each claim as much as I can. Some references are short on critical details. I note them anyway. They are in more-or-less chronological order. For no clear reason I found no records in the 1970s. Go figure. I blame disco. I'll add to this list as research continues. Feel free to contribute.
