Micky Gee Discography

By Ari Niskanen

This is not a complete discography. There certainly are some recording sessions that I don’t know of.

I have tried to mention every song only once. However in some cases it would be confusing to mention some song only once. For example, when Shakin’ Stevens’ LP “A Whole Lotta Shaky” was released in 1988 it was combination of new songs and old songs from the early 1980’s. Not to mention old songs would leave wrong impression that Micky didn’t play on those cuts.

Information of recording sessions that are not listed here is welcome.
