The performances on June 25 and 26 were recorded by Ken Barnes and issued as a double album by K-Tel International under licence from United Artists Records.
The album entered the UK charts in November 1977 and peaked at No. 9.
Most of the songs from the album were issued on CD for the first time in 1997 by EMI Records on a CD called “Bing Crosby 50th Anniversary Concert at the London Palladium” (catalogue No. 7243 8 57547 2 2). Omissions were the Crosby Family “Round” and tracks 15-17, 33-34 and 36. An additional track – “Great Day” – was included and it is suspected that this came from the recording session for the At My Time of Life album.
The 3-CD set called “Bing Crosby – The Complete United Artists Sessions” issued by EMI Records (7243 59808 2 4) in 1997 included tracks 15-16, 33-34 and 36 but not track 17 and the Crosby Family “Round” neither of which have ever been issued in digital form.
