Europe 2!

Apparently, the LP I shared with you yesterday wasn't the only one of it's kind.  The one you see above appears to have been made and sold at the same time for the same purpose, and even overlaps a few tracks.  But there is enough different music here for me to want to share it as well.  I think a slightly different government agency was responsible for this one, maybe Army instead of Air Force, but I'm not really up on all the details enough to figure it out.  Perhaps one of my visitors can explain the fine subtleties of such things.  If you enjoyed the last one, this is more of the same (and in certain cases, the exact same). This is Christmas In Europe (Philips (Holland) P 10185 L (AFX), Mono, 1956). I may have forgotten to mention this in the last post, but in both cases I have two different rear sleeve images, one with 1956 and one with 1957.  So this was apparently reprinted more than once, it must have been somewhat popular.

    There is a little bit of explanation regarding "EES SERVICE" (P 10181 L) and "AFEX" (P 10185 L) at the link below. It looks like they were both similar organizations within the military command structure, tasked with running retail outlets for the US Serviceman. If you can make sense of it, you are wiser than I am. As a very young kid, we just knew everything as the "PX" or "Commissary" I will ask my Dad if he remembers the purchasing details of that record we have (P 10181 L), he might. I'm pretty sure he was over there, the first time, for Christmas 1957 with wife and young child. I remember my Mom always seemed to have fond happy memories associated with that record when we played it in later years. I'll check the date on the back of our album this weekend.

    Yeah, I spent some time at that website while researching these records (and there are more...) and decided it was a mess I didn't want to get into.

    I have this record, but don't know which back cover. I didn't realize it was a PX item.

    When I looked up "Belen Choir", I ran across the same album for sale at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049QWVWQ/ref=dm_ws_sp_ps_dp
