A Holly Cole Discography

Here is one of the most complete lists of all the recorded work Holly has done. The meaning of the coloured symbol in front of each entry is as follows:

* Very reliable information
- Reasonably reliable information
? Uncertain information

In general, however, items marked with the second symbol may be considered almost as reliable as the first, especially if there is a catalog number next to it.
