The Record of Singing is a compilation of classical-music singing from the first half of the 20th century, the era of the 78-rpm record.
The collection was published with extensive documentation, including the numbers of the original recordings and full biographies of the singers.
The first two volumes were accompanied by books by Michael Scott:
• The Record of Singing to 1914, London, Duckworth, 1977, ISBN 978-0-7156-1030-5
• The Record of Singing Volume Two: 1914–1925, London, Duckworth, 1979, OCLC 6765624
They were republished in paperback by Northeastern University Press in 1993, ISBN 978-1-55553-163-8
(The books are still widely available from second hand book sellers.)
