A Long Time, Part 3

Thirdly today we get The Longines Symphonette-Home For The Holidays (The Longines Symphonette Society 2xLP SY 5412/5413, Stereo, 1972). Notice that this is the Special Christmas Edition, as opposed to the non-Christmas edition, which I guess wouldn't have all the Christmas songs on it. But would the title be the same? Would it still have that Christmas scene on the front cover? These are hard questions to answer. Enjoy!

1. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
2. Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers
3. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
4. The Toy Trumpet
5. Home For The Holidays
6. Medley-Foom Foom Foom; Patapan
7. Whence Comes This Rush Of Wings
8. O Come, O Come Emanuel
9. Medley-Boar's Head Carol; Here We Come A-Wassailing
10. Glory To God
11. Scarlet Ribbons
12. Lullay Lullay Thou Little Tiny Child
13. O Come Little Children
14. Adoramus Te
15. Break Forth O Beauteous Light
16. Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring
17. O Sanctissima
18. Medley-Oxen & Sheep; Infant So Gentle; Rocking
19. Beautiful Savior
20. Silent Night

    This is 1972. The 5412/5413 number is very close to that of the 1972 Longines 5-LP box set "Christmas With the Choraliers" (5417/5418/5419/5420/5421).

    And of course, THANKS for the music, Ernie!

      That could be. I think I got the '72 date from Discogs, and there's usually good reason for them to give a date. I know when I add a date over there, I like to reference a trade publication like Billboard or a newspaper article.
