This is a list of the discography of Daniel Johnston, who lived in Austin, Texas.
Handmade cassettes
Before the production of 'Yip/Jump Music' in 1983, Johnston had no way to copy his albums, and so each copy would be an entirely unique recording. The standardised copies of these albums were released when Stress Records purchased Johnston's back catalog in 1986.
