Despite acclaimed success John Dethick was never invited to make a recording by any record company. The only disc he made was for Ambassador College, whose main base was at Pasadena, California, during a performance of Messiah at Watford Town Hall in 1965. Below is part of the record sleeve:

As a result, John was invited to sing both Messiah and Elijah in Pasadena in 1968 and 1970
