WEBSTER BOOTH & ANNE ZIEGLER: Excerpts from Gramophone & Discography compiled by JEAN COLLEN.

Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler: Excerpts from 'Gramophone' & Discography" was first published in 2009. It was made up of articles and reviews about the recordings made by Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler (1929 to the present). In this new edition in 2020, the discography section has been updated and includes an almost complete discography of their solo and duet recordings. Webster Booth made a number of recordings with the HMV Light Opera Company, and some recordings with companies other than HMV.

Thanks to the Kellydatabase.org I have even discovered recordings made by HMV which were never released. I am grateful to John Rogers, a member of the Webster Booth-Anne Ziegler Appreciation Group on Facebook for giving me access to his list of B recordings on HMV which include recording dates, release dates, and dates of deletion.

I had intended to publish this updated discography on Lulu.com but the format for publishing there has changed and I have no idea how to "embed fonts" so I have chosen to place the file here instead. You may download it from the link above. Please let me know if you download the PDF and what you think about it. 

The final edition of the discography of Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth.
