From Cuba To Puerto Rico

From Cuba we move a couple islands over to Puerto Rico, and more Christmas music that I'm afraid I don't recognize.  Nice album cover though.  Perhaps you'll enjoy Cantares De Navidad (Gay Songs For Christmas) (Marvela-Puerto Rico Record Mfg. Co.  MVLP-48, Mono).  I think this one is much newer than those two Cuban records.  I think the liner notes mentioned stereo releases, so that alone makes it more recent in origin, at least by a few years.

    IF I recall correctly, the original release was either in the late fifties, or early '60s. I don't think that the the jacket cover and notes changed at all through the years. IT was the best selling record for PR Record & Mfg. Corp.

    My father (founder and pres. of PR Record & Mfg. Corp) used to joke that that's the record that paid for my education. It is still available, now in CD, under the "Disco Hit" label

    Another note - the disc label shows a later (late '60s - early '70s) logo, not the original more classical "MARVELA" logo.
