Somewhat famous in 60s garage collectors circles are the Seeberg Rec-O-Dance Stereo Discoteen series.Most of the anonymous bands here have not been identified.I have like six or eight of these,four right here.I have no idea how many they pressed,I have seen a volume 60 listed online.These are 7" 33 1/3 eps three songs per side,a mix of covers and original songs.

Seeburg for a while marketed a "complete discotheque
system" consisting of a jukebox like this:
http://www.pinballrebel.com/archive/seeburg/fleetwood/fleetwood.htm
Along with a dance floor and DJ equipment. This record
may have been a promo for that setup, or intended to be
played by the DJ. They also issued special 7" 33 records
of dance music for the jukebox. One of the problems
with this particular model is that the black lights,
which were to make the bright cabinet artwork glow,
decomposed the plastic at an accellerated pace. Most
operators quickly replaced them with regular fluorescent
tubes.
