I would like to thank the following people for generously sharing their research in order to make this discography as complete as possible:

Ross Laird for his extensive knowledge of the Æolian-Vocalion label and, in the absence of original documentation, his expertise in estimating recording dates.
Roger Beardsley for his information on Tertis’ recordings for His Master’s Voice and Columbia.
Jon M. Samuels for information on Tertis’ unpublished Victor sides as well as general confirmation of Columbia and Vocalion recording dates and matrix numbers.
Christopher Nozawa for sharing information from his extensive collection of rare recordings, and to Shuichiro Kawai for making copies of several of Mr. Nozawa’s recordings available to me in digital format; thanks also to Mr. Kawai for providing information on Japanese CD reissues of Tertis 78s.
John White for sharing recordings from his collection, especially Tertis’ own copies of rare and unpublished Columbia sides.
Donald Hodgman and Raymond Glaspole for making it possible to obtain many rare original Tertis recordings for review.
