Alas, on page 32, he states, "...we'd record probably 27 recordings, spanning everything from 78rpm records, to 45's, LP Albums, then 8 Track Tapes, Cassettes, CD's, some MD's, VD's, BVD's, (whoa), even some video cassettes... Unfortunately, there is no mention of any details of any specific release in his 56 year performing career anywhere in the book.)
