Christmas In July 2022-Part 10

Well, we're a little past the halfway point of the month, and about halfway through the pile of shares I have for you. I hope you've heard a few things that interest or excite you. I've saved a few goodies for the second half of the month, so be sure you stay tuned until the end. Here's the stack o' wax for today.

1. O Tannenbaum by Mechanical Organette Boudoir Model from the LP The Greatest Music Show On Earth-Vol. B (Gay 90's Village 5188 (Recorded At Bellm's Cars And Music Of Yesterday, Sarasota, Florida), Stereo, 1973). I recently found this local LP at a thrift store. It documents a collection of music boxes and band organs that no longer exists, at least not anywhere that I know of. The car part of the museum is still alive and well though, I visited it late last year.

2. Marie Wiegenlied by The Columbus Boychoir-Donald Hanson, Director from The Columbus Boychoir Sings At Spoleto's Festival Of Two Worlds (The Columbus Boychoir DB-63073 (Side 1-Sounds Of Christmas), Stereo). I took this one out of the plastic to record it for you. I can't imagine it was worth too much, even sealed like that.

3. The Christmas Symbol by St. Olaf Choir-Kenneth Jennings, Director-Soloist: Beverly Voth from Sing For Joy (St. Olaf Records E-269, Stereo). Another song from these prolific folks. I think if you poke around, they've got multiple Christmas albums.

4. The Weavers sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas from The Weavers On Tour (Vanguard VSD-6537, Electronically Re-Recorded To Simulate Stereo, 1969). More from these old folkies.

5. Jesus A Wonderful Child by When Singers Meet, Inc., Mass Choir from the sampler album Get On Board The Jubilee Train (Jubilee JSS 1, Stereo). I've shared a whole LP with you from these singers in the past, but when I saw this one track on a sampler album, I knew it was a good selection for Christmas in July.

And now some tunes from production albums for radio stations.

6. Sleigh Fun from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 13 (William B. Tanner Company TRS V-A Disc 13, Stereo).

7. Christmas Dreamland from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 6 (William B. Tanner Company TRS Vol A Disc 6, Stereo).

8. Orchestrated Pattern (Christmas) (O Tannenbaum) from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 31-Wild Work Parts (Media General TRS V-A/D-31, Stereo).

9. January Clearance-Donut from New TTS Production Music Tracks #3317 (William B. Tanner Company 3317, Stereo).

10. Gifts Of Love From Far And Near-Instrumental from The Great Christmas And Special Events Production Library-Disc 7 (Airforce Broadcast Services Disc 7, Stereo, 1984).

Another day, another stack of tracks. Enjoy!
