Another oldie around here, dating back to
2007, this features a familiar version of The Little Drummer Boy that actually predates the hit by Harry Simeone. There's a long, long story in there that I encourage you to investigate, but I'm not going to go into it here. Just trust me when I say that there's some really good music here. And if you don't like the cover above, feel free to choose one of the ones below, they've all been associated with this same music over the years. But before you pick a favorite, please download

The Little Drummer Boy (Dot DLP 25233, Stereo, 1959). Or is it

ReplyDeleteThe Jack Halloran Singers-The Little Drummer Boy (Dot DLP 25233, Stereo, 1959)
my vote is for 'the little drummer boy' because he's got a good beat.
ReplyDeleteWhoa--I'm just now noticing that Ernie is back for this Christmas season...hooray!
ReplyDeleteYou have some catching up to do. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this album! Though I grabbed it when you shared it earlier, I am glad you are sharing it again as this needs to be more known.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ernie!
Any chance of getting this on MEGA? Much thanks....
ReplyDeleteThere may or may not be a remaster coming up with five different covers and a bonus non-album single. Maybe... :)
