Late December Back In '63

I've been trying to get more remasters up here but failing miserably.  Here's a quick one using the old artwork from my original share back in 2006, but it's a new rip from last year.  I think the sound is light years ahead of that old one, so turn it up loud and enjoy The E.F. MacDonald Company Presents Christmas Classics 1963 (E.F. MacDonald EFMX-63, Stereo, 1963).  The first side is Christmas stories narrated by the original Penguin himself, Burgess Meredith, while the second side is a set of international carols conducted by Joe Reisman.  Good stuff.  I'm still missing a couple of these promos from E.F. MacDonald, gotta dig those up sometime.

1. A Visit From St. Nicholas-Burgess Meredith With Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
2. Is There A Santa Claus?-Burgess Meredith With Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
3. The Little Match Girl-Burgess Meredith With Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
4. O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree)-Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
5. Les Agnes Dans Nos Campagnes (Angels We Have Heard On High)-Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
6. Dormi, Dormi, O Bel Bambin (Sleep, Sleep, Sweet Babe Of Mine)-Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
7. Fum, Fum, Fum (Foom, Foom, Foom)-Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus
8. Twelve Days Of Christmas-Joe Reisman's Orchestra & Chorus

  1. Fantastic! Yes, the old rip had those "glassy"-sounding artifacts (usually the result of noise-suppression), but this one is rich! Thank you!

  5. Thanks very much, Ernie. I found it quite interesting that in the final track, the "Five Golden Rings" verse was of the same structure as the other verses. I've never heard it presented like that before.
