Coro Dos

Time for another LP full of singing kids. And not just singing, but singing in Spanish! I know you've been waiting a long time to hear more of that. Well, since yesterday at least. This is Coro Y Rondalla Alegria-Villanicos Tradicionales (Alhambra (Spain/Columbia) CPS 9021, Stereo, 1968). How do records from Columbia wind up in my collection? That's a question I can't answer, I'm afraid. I hunt for Christmas records a lot, and these things just find me sometimes. Enjoy!

      Records are big, heavy, clumsy & delicate. Columbia is a long way away. It takes a lot of dedication to move a record from there to here. I'm just amazed that anyone bothered.

    On the other hand, if you picked these up in certain other states, without Latin/Latin types, than that would be a question I guess?

      I think it's still a valid question. When I was in Santa Fe, I found a neat looking Spanish-language Christmas record in a shop, but it was priced around $30 and wasn't in that great of shape. I asked about it and he said there was a large demand for those types of Christmas records there. So maybe more of them come in through the southwest. I don't think anyone has ever tracked record migration as closely as I would like. :)

    One would have thought there'd be data on that. Considering that whole "War on Christmas" we've been hearing about for 25-30 years. -Organ

      Oh, it's been much longer than that. I think they were complaining about Christmas back in the fifties. Too commercial, not the same as it used to be. Maybe it's a slightly different war definition today, but I think it's the same old refrain...

    Oh sure, I'm certain it's what started the grudge between Cain and Able. -Organ
