Speaking Of George

Since I mentioned George Greeley in the post before last (he conducted the orchestra on that Keely Smith track), I figured I'd go ahead and share out his Christmas LP. This is a piano based record, with a full orchestra backing him up. It's pretty good, actually, as such things go. Reminds me a little of that Roger Williams LP I shared out last year (which reminds me that I need to go ahead and reshare that this year. Maybe after this...). That green cover is a shiny foil that doesn't scan too well. It's really much shinier in person, but you get the picture. I love the records from Warner Bros. in their first few yeas of existence. They are all full of interesting and cool stuff, both on the sleeves and in the grooves. I think I've got some more from them to share out before the end of the year, if I get time. But right now, please download George Greeley With The Warner Bros. Symphony Orchestra Conducted By Ted Dale-The Twenty-Two Best Loved Christmas Piano Concertos (Warner Bros WS 1338, Stereo, 1959).
