Used Music-Track Nine
How about some hip music from the most square fellow on television? That's right, Ed Sullivan, the guy who brought you Elvis, The Beatles and Senor Wences. He knew how to stay out of the limelight and let the stars shine, I suppose. Tonight's track, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, is taken from A Very Merry Christmas-Volume 3 (Columbia Special Products for Grants, CSS-997, 1969), but it's originally from a full Christmas LP by The Ed Sullivan Orchestra that I've never found. I downloaded a copy last year from someone over at the FaLaLaLaLa forums, but a hard copy eludes me. Don't worry, though, I'm tenacious. Someday, vengeance, or at least an Ed Sullivan Orchestra Christmas LP, shall be mine!!!

ReplyDeleteThat was my favorite Christmas album growing up. My favorite track - Cary Grant doing "Christmas Lullaby". Thanks so much for the download. Brings back lots of memories...
Have you ever shared this entire LP? I'd like to have it to go with my other 2 W.T. Grant LPs Volume 4 & 5. Thanks.

I thought about sharing out that Cary Grant track, but I'm saving that for an eventual celebrity Christmas collection. Someday...
ReplyDeleteNope, haven't shared the LP. Too many tracks on there are on CD. I'm sure it's available out there somewhere, though.
