This is an updated list of known Ted Heath recording.  If you know of any album not listed, I should appreciate you letting me know.

There may be albums issued on obscure label. If you know of any, please email with details

 

Vocalion have issued many of the Ted Heath LPs on CD. This is my best up to date listing of these CDs. For further information go to www.duttonlabs.demon.co.uk    For those collectors who want the music on CD or who are missing the LPs this is a great bonus.

 

An excellent set of new CDs can be found under the title "More Lost Treasures of Ted Heath". This contains 4 CDs and is material recorded for the USA market in the early 60's.

 

Most of the CDs, so far, have coupled together two of Ted's LPs. However, a recent CD,  Vocalion CDLK4145, is previously unissued. It is called "The Great American Song Book and is from the Rediffusion tapes.  Also Vocalion CDLK4141, "Ted Heath Goes Latin" and " West Side Story & Other Great Broadway Hits" contains 2 extra tracks that did not feature on the LP.
