I think I promised you some more barbershop Christmas music
earlier in the season, and I'm finally going to come through on that promise. I was happy to find this a couple months ago, since I'd been looking for a while. Unfortunately, it's a mono copy, so the hunt continues for the stereo version. But in the meantime, I wanted to listen to it, and share it with my visitors. For a little bit of the 'shop, this is
Evans Quartet-1960 International Quartet Champions-S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A.-
Merry Christmas-Barbershop Style (Decca DL 4162, Mono, 1961). I have misspelled barbershop every single time I've had to type it in this post. I must need to go to bed.
1. Jingle Bells
2. Winter Wonderland
3. Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
5. Frosty The Snow Man
6. Silent Night
7. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
8. White Christmas
9. Jolly Old St. Nicholas
10. Silver Bells
11. We Wish You A Merry Christmas
12. Auld Lang Syne

This is one of my favorite Christmas albums! I forget who shared it out before but I've listened to it countless times. Far and away the best barbershop Christmas album I've ever heard (of the 2-3 I've heard).
ReplyDeleteI've got both a mono and stereo version in my library. I have no idea where they came from.
