Recordings by date and matrix

While McCormack recorded occasionally for other companies in his first years, the bulk of his work was for Odeon and released on a variety of labels. Most of the issued discs and one unpublished take have been collected here. For each recording session, the matrices believed to have been recorded follow its date. The specific matrix number for each side we have been able to locate provides a link to the digital file.
