Jacques Brel's career spanned over three decades and encompassed a number of singles, EPs, 10" albums and 12" LPs. His songs were often repackaged and resold under different covers and titles, which makes compiling a complete collection of Brel's recordings a difficult task. This discography brings together Brel's original studio albums, live albums, singles and EPs, as well as notable compilations and live albums.
To date, Brel's albums are reported to sell over 200,000 copies per year.[1]
