That'll Leave A Scar

Last day of February and I can't believe I'm still sharing Christmas records. I've never gone this far into the new year because I'm usually too burned out on Christmas music by the time January rolls around and I don't have anything in the can ready to post. This year was a bit different since I recorded so much stuff ahead of time, then I was gone most of the actual Christmas season. So I hope you're really enjoying all of the bonus stuff this year. I know it's a bunch of non-pop stuff, but there are still treasures in these records to be found. Here's hoping you'll find something good in this one. This is Scarsdale Community Baptist Church Senior Choir-Candlelight Carol Service And Christmas Eve Carol Service (Recorded Publications Company AZB-47461/47462, Stereo, 1968). The Scarsdale community here appears to be located in New York and it looks like the Baptist Church there is still going strong.

  1. Looks like they conveniently dated this one for you. An unusual selection of songs.

    1. You get lucky sometimes. I thought about grabbing one record from each year and seeing how wide of a range of dates I could get. As usual, I didn't follow through on my plan...

  2. And we have not got to the 45rpm posts yet. Maybe on March?

    1. I exhausted my 45 RPM Christmas records last year. :( I think in the entire past year I've only added a dozen or so 45s to my collection, they're getting next to impossible to find in the wild.

  3. Well Ernie, this was a nice one.
    It reminded me of my time in the Grade School Choir or just going to Mass when we had the Organist and or Church Choirs.

  5. what is your birth sign?
    If you look up the traits of a Capricorn, you can see why I am basically the way I am.
    A Capricorn strives to be perfect, but there is no just thing as perfection.
    That is why I am constantly organizing and re-organizing.
    Like last week. I started organizing a special cabinet area for a client. I was not happy after I almost finished it. So, today, I took parts of it apart, and redid it. I am still not happy with it. So next week, I will take all of it apart again to redo it all over. Talk about craziness. He does not care. If it makes me happy, he will be happy. Besides, now he has a lot more extra space for things and he can find things easier.
    But, things can always be changed.

    1. Cancer, the unfortunately-named crab. But I don't believe in all that hoodoo. You can find bits of yourself in any of their loosely defined categories.

    2. Capricorns are generally considered most compatible with the following zodiac signs:
      Taurus: Shares a practical approach to life.
      Virgo: Another earth sign that aligns well with Capricorn's values.
      Cancer: A water sign that brings emotional depth.
      Scorpio: Offers intensity and passion, complementing Capricorn's nature.

      However, I am somewhat difficult to get along with, mostly because I am just too organized. On, the other hand, I am very laid back and pretty much easy going, within reason.

    3. I don't think I have any emotional depth...
