From The Great White North, Eh
Some of you have been asking for this record since last year. Well, not exactly this record, but you've been asking for Gisele. I wanted to share her full-length LP, Christmas With Gisele, but I couldn't get a recording of it that didn't skip. However, I did find this EP that came out the previous year on the RCA susidiary, Vik. It's got 4 of the songs that showed up on her full length release the next year, so you're almost halfway there. Someday I'll get a better copy of the full album and share it with everybody, I pomise. In the meantime, please download and enjoy Gisele MacKenzie-Joyeux Noel (Vik EXA-271, Mono, 1957). The sound is a little rough on this one, but there is some good music if you listen through the noise. There'll be a quiz later, so please pay close attention to her French lessons.
Update: Looks like someone finally wised up about this record. It's now available for download on iTunes. So I can't share it anymore, but you can download a nice MP3 version of it. Actually, what they've got is the whole LP that this EP is pulled from, but you get the idea.
This is the best - too bad it's only an EP ...
ReplyDeleteWow...never thought I'd get this on a download! I have the original vinyl and still today it is my absolute favorite Christmas Album! I was hoping to get it on CD for posterity sake! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWord to the wise... Come back soon, hint, hint, hint...
ReplyDeleteMy family listened to this CONSTANTLY growing up.
ReplyDeleteI especially love "To Fat for the Chimney"
Too fat for the chimney is a great tune...wish it was on this EP. I do have a vinyl of this full album in relatively good condition...but no means to get it uploaded to the computer.
ReplyDeleteI grew up listening to this album, I can sing every one, even the French! I need a copy on CD! Who do we lobby?
