England!

Maybe the most boring stop on my round-the-world Christmas trip is this one.  Jolly Old England, the country with which we probably share more customs than any other.  Oh, sure, there are differences, but there are more similarities, I think.  But I found a nice copy of the LP recently and decided to go ahead and rip it for you.  I didn't notice the sticker over top of the Capitol logo until too late, but beggars can't be choosers.  This is Christmas In England (Capitol "Capitol Of The World" T10097, Mono, 1957). I think the real reason I recorded this was for the Ruby Murray track that I've never seen anywhere else.  Her Christmas songs have always been a favorite of mine.
