I have updated the discography (accessed via the link 'A BING CROSBY DISCOGRAPHY' on the crossbar at the head of this page).

The introductory pages have been totally recast. Much of the material has been moved to The Crosby Fan World Home pages. 

The new issues of the last month or two plus the pending issues have been added, and the exclusive MP3 downloads have also been added, as have  many CBS radio tracks. I have removed mention of a number of older less interesting CDs which were merely compilations of the most common tracks and a number of errors, both factual and typographical have been corrected.

A couple of the 'return to introductory page' links have gone wrong, and I am investigating those.

(Later note: The 'return' links now fixed by the ever-helpful Steve Albin, the originator of 'Brian', the software I use for creation and maintenance of the Discography.  Anyone wanting to do anything similar would be well advised to start out with 'Brian'  http://www.jazzdiscography.com/
Steve has many other discographies loaded there, including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and other luminaries.)

It would be wise to 'reload' each page, which should all bear April 2011 dates at the top left. If earlier dates are shown, your computer is loading pages from memory.

I have recently updated my discography. It includes 'Through the Years' up to and including the forthcoming Volume 9, and some other issues, but does not yet include 'Bing In Dixieland' or the single 'The Night Before Christmas' as I lack definitive information.

A number of minor amendments have been made, and errors corrected. Many thanks to those who have drawn my attention to some inaccuracies. 

The date at the top left hand of each page should be November 2011. If it reads April 2011, your computer is reading from memory and you should reload the page.

Richard, you'd be a multi-millionaire, if the rest of us were compelled to pay you based on the value your discography has been and continues to be for all of the rest of us.  I'm sure many others agree with me about that.

Thank you, Steve - though I doubt the quantification inherent in your comment!

Thank you Zane. I merely took masses of original research by others and collated it against my own and some other's collections.  It started as an effort to organise my own collection, no more. Then it just grew.

I have credited others elsewhere -  https://sites.google.com/site/crosbyfanworld/books-and-reference-material
but there are also the sleeve note writers and contributors over many years to 'BING'   from whose research I have gleaned information. 

And I have to say there are many past and present contributors to 'BING' who I can only admire for their original and painstaking research.  And I trust those contributions will continue.
