songbooks containing sheet music
Dating back to the early days, Leon has periodically seen anthologies of sheet music published, rounding up the bulk of his recorded compositions - and more besides. In fact, all of the songbooks below contain songs never recorded by him. The first two were all but comprehensive for their day. The following two were supplementary, rounding up newer compositions in addition to what had been published before. The weighty Bringing the News From Nowhere (1992) broke the pattern by collecting together almost everything published to date, while the latest of them all covers songs since its indispensable predecessor.
