an incredibly rich life in the performing arts. RIP.

Anyone know of a comprehensive discography of his work?

The earliest recordings by Bikel I am aware of are 2 78rpm discs
issued by HMV in the UK
B.10453 OEA 17077 CALYPSO BLUES(Cole-George)
B.10453 OEA 17078 THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

B.10701 OEA 17079 LE CAISSIER (Stephane Golmann)
B.10701 OEA 17080 ACTUALITES (As sung by Theodore
                   Bike in the film "Forbidden Cargo")
                   (Golmann-Vidalle)
Anyone know the DATE these were recorded ??
any other recordings from that period ??

There are some tracks in a ISRAEL MUSC FOUNDATION LP which are a mystery - Anyone know when they were recorded ??? Other recordings in that series were first issued on 78rpm discs (early 1950's), then transferred to 10" LP, then to 12" LP. I have not found any reference to the Bikel tracks on 78's ?????

ISRAEL MUSIC FOUNDATION LP 7
Israeli Folk Dances - Third Series
A1 Le'or Chi Yu Chech   Theodore Bikel
B1 Mezarai Yisrael      Theodore Bikel
B3 Bat Harim            Theodore Bikel Rachel Hadass
