The Other Bradley's Back

Might as well go ahead and share out this other Owen Bradley Christmas LP while I'm at it.  I think this was first shared 'round these part a full ten years go back in 2008!  I don't have to tell you anything about Owen Bradley, especially since you just learned a little bit in my last post.  This one is a little less exciting than the previous one because it's just him, no quintet.  But don't let that stop you from giving it a try.  This is Owen Bradley-Organ And Chimes Played By Owen Bradley (Coral CRL 57071, Mono, 1956).

1. We Three Kings Of Orient Are
2. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
3. Silent Night
4. O Holy Night
5. The First Nowell
6. Joy To The World
7. Deck The Halls
8. Ring Out The Bells-The Bells Of Christmas
9. The Birthday Of A King
10. O Come All Ye Faithful
11. O Little Town Of Bethlehem
12. Away In A Manger

  1. This appears to be the 12-inch expansion of a 10-incher called Christmas Time with Organ and Chimes, dated 1950 (CRL 56012). The first two songs on side 1 and the last two on side 2 have been added. The cover is different and much more attractive than the portrait of Bradley on the 10-inch.

  2. Really? Don't think I've ever seen that one. Owen Bradley had his hands in such classic music, yet his Christmas releases leave something to be desired...

  3. Yeah, the 10-inch is just as dull as the 12-inch. I was disappointed when I heard it years ago.

  4. That's kind of a weird picture on the cover. That's not a sleigh, it's some... other sled-like thing, but not a sleigh. What the huh??

  5. I think it flattens out the snow, making a smoother path for the real sleighs and whatnot. But I don't know, I've lived my whole life in a state with no snow. :)
