Up The 101

Only a few more hours to go until the big day, I guess I need to go out and do some shopping. We agreed to not get each other gifts this year, but you know how that goes. At least I'll be far away from that side of the family when they wake up and realize I didn't get them anything. But for my loyal visitors, I've got plenty for you. Here's another remaster from the early years of the blog, the very first year in fact, 2005. I've never been the biggest fan of purely string-driven Christmas music, but I know a lot of my visitors eat this sort of thing up. So for you I present 101 Strings-The Glory Of Christmas (Somerset SF-7100, Stereo, 1958). What have I got here, four different covers for this same music? I stuck the nice velvet flocked version there at the top, but I think my favorite is the green one below with the cast of It's A Small World on it. They truly tried a little bit of everything to sell a few more copies of this record over the years.

1. Silent Night
2. While The Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
3. Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem
4. The First Noel
5. Adeste Fidelis
6. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
7. O Tannenbaum
8. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas; Jingle Bells
