Christmas is the season of Giving, and every year sees the release of dozens if not hundreds of charity records, each offering a little something special for your donation and causing no ends of headaches for Christmas music collectors like me. This record from 1967 is no exception. I shared this with you back in
2010 and was surprised by a number of people who posted that it was part of their annual Christmas listening back in their childhood. I guess you just never know. Anyhow, please add it to your annual Christmas celebration by downloading

Excellent upload. Thanks dude :)
I heard what I believe to be excerpts from this on several 30 hour Christmas music radio broadcast marathons throughout the 1980s, but have never seen a copy (physical or digital) until I just literally stumbled upon your blog five minutes ago. Alas, the link seems to be dead. Any possibility of a re-up? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOK, it's live now.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated. Just listened to a couple of the tracks and it is the versions I remember from those old broadcasts. Once again, thanks so much.
