Most recordings were transferred from original master tapes; where these were unavailable, LP pressings were used. All recordings were engineered and edited by F. W. Wilson, using two microphones, with no artificial enhancements or splicing.

All recordings were made by the Wall Chamber Choir and the Wall Choirs, ca. 1969–1980, conducted by F. W. Wilson. Except as noted, works were performed unaccompanied or with keyboard accompaniment.
