Spain!

From Portugal we move right next door to Spain, which isn't really a very long trip. Trust me, we're going to eventually make it all the way around the world at least once, if not twice.  Christmas is still a long way away and I have a big stack of records.  Not too much I can say about this one, as with all these records, it's a mix of local favorites with the occasional familiar carol thrown into the mix.  Those familiar carols were probably spread via missionaries in most cases, but I suspect that motion pictures later became a much bigger influence.  Not too many missionaries had White Christmas in their hymnals.  Anyhow, this is Christmas In Spain (Capitol "Capitol Of The World" T10094, Mono, 1957).

  1. Does Capitol even identify an artist or artists in this series? I may have one or two examples of the type, but don't recall.

  2. Oh yeah, it's all there on the back sleeve. Most, but not all, are various artist things, probably put together by the local branch of EMI, and Capitol released them in America under the Capitol Of The World umbrella. If you look them up on Discogs, they frequently show the local version that was released in whatever country they represent. Pretty cool.
