Compatible Children

Here's another album from Modern Sound, this time it's a children's Christmas record, but some of the songs on here are the exact same recordings as on this earlier album I shared. It's weird, I tell you, but what else would you expect from a budget label? I think only the Caroleers story is more convoluted than this one. Look close at the cover above, and you'll see that you get to hear Rudolph, The Red Nose! What a treat! And it's printed crooked! Bad crooked! There's no artist info at all here, so I just credited it to Modern Sound. You get to listen to some stories, sing along with some songs, even get a little instrumental action on Silent Night. What parent wouldn't buy this for their kid? This is A Christmas Party For Children (Modern Sound Christmas Album #2, 1967). Does that mean this one came out before Album #4? Perhaps. I do know that this record was reissued as Children's Christmas Party (Halo #1001, 1974). Do these people have no shame?

I did find a web site that tried to unravel the mysteries of these cheap records. Maybe reading what they have to say will help you. Maybe not.

UPDATE: This appears to be available at a couple of different download sites, and that makes it ineligible for sharing. Gotta play by the rules here, folks. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Lemme find a link for you... Hmmm, I can't seem to link to iTunes, but go over there and search for the LP title Children's Christmas Party. It's there, shown under the same cover you see above.
