Bobby Darin Discography: The Albums

by Michael Macomber
MY SINCERE THANKS to the following people for their invaluable assistance in compiling this discography: Joy Cash, Gisele Dubson, and Reina Riley. An extra special thanks to Stu Colman, Geoff Barker (host of the fabulous roots rock n' roll BBC radio program, Geoff Barker's Rock 'n' Roll Party), and Clive Poole, for helping to clear up some long-standing Darin Recording Session Mysteries.

Additions, corrections, and clarifications are welcomed and encouraged. Please send to DarinLand@DARINLAND.COM.

PLEASE NOTE: While this is primarily a vinyl discography, 2 CD releases have been included, as they represent full live performances not released during Darin's lifetime.

SPECIAL NOTE: The tracks "Now We're One" and "You're Mine" were actually recorded at Decca Records, not Atco/Atlantic. Fearing Atco was about to drop him, Bobby went over to Decca and recorded 4 songs, "Early in the Morning," "Mighty Mighty Man," "You're Mine," and "Now We're One." Shortly afterward, "Splish Splash" hit, and Atco renewed his contract. Atco also secured the rights to the Decca masters and released the songs themselves.
