From
Mexico we head halfway around the world to Singapore for no good reason other than it's next on my list and really far away. And it's a record that's not part of the Capitol Of The World series, it's actually made and sold in the country it documents. This one is also a lot newer than the other world-wide records I've been sharing, coming about 20 years later, but it still has a great deal of merit, and maybe some nice stereo sound. If you're curious, this is
The Church Of The Risen Christ Choir, Conducted By Peter Low-
Christmas In Singapore (WEA (Warner/Elektra/Atlantic) (Singapore/Malaysia/Hongkong) Q 93217, Stereo, 1979).
1. Medley: O Come All Ye Faithful; The First Noel; Hark The Herald Angels Sing
2. Silent Night
3. Deck The Halls
4. Here We Come A Wassailing
5. Pablo The Reindeer
6. Little Babe In Manger Hay
7. Calypso Carol
8. Let Christ Be Born In You
9. O Holy Night
10. Doing The Christmas Thing

12. Glory To The Lord In Heaven
13. Do You Hear What I Hear
14. Medley: Silver Bells; Winter Wonderland; White Christmas

Interesting. I don't know that I've ever heard anything from Singapore. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy wife has a vinyl copy of this--she actually sang with Peter Low's choir when she was young, although she's not on this record. And she still sings "Pablo The Reindeer" sometimes!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love to hear stories like this about the records we share. Hope she enjoys giving this a listen in digital form! Thanks for stopping by!
