Bringing Back The Bing!
One of the things I had hoped to share out with you again this year is the LP you see above, a rare little piece of goodness narrated by none other than Bing Crosby! But I was recently contacted by the current rights holder, a descendant of the World Library Productions that released the LP. They were doing some research on the LP and came across my original share back in 2012. They are researching a possible future release and I told them I wouldn't share it any longer and was more than happy to let everyone know it may be coming to a musical outlet near you sometime in the future. Probably not this year, but someday. My contact was nice enough to send me a picture of the master tapes, which I thought was really cool. Their archive also contains a different cover as well as the one above, so if you find a different one, it's probably the same thing. Oh, this came out way back in 1957! So stay tuned, hopefully we'll have a full-on legit reissue of The Bonaventure Choir And Children's Chorus-Bing Crosby-Narrator-The Bible Story Of Christmas-The Traditional Carols In Gospel Sequence (World Library Productions WLP 8, Mono, 1957)!
