M&M

Here's a record I had to chase after for a few years before I discovered this copy.  I find that if you hunt long enough, you can find most anything you want for a reasonable price.  However, if you're in a hurry, then it's easy to pay a fortune for the stuff you're after.  I've been known to pay too much for stuff, especially if I can see it and hold it in my hand, but I try not to.  This is an interesting Christmas album as it features none of the usual songs or hymns, it's all fairly obscure folky stuff, but not really folky.  It's ancient stuff that has fallen out of general knowledge, but that doesn't mean it's not worth revisiting.  There are still a handful of old Christmas LPs on Decca that I have yet to find, and plenty of them that I have found but haven't had a chance to record or share.  It's a process...  For tonight, this is Marais And Miranda With The Pardo Players Of Ancient Instruments-Christmas With Marais And Miranda (Decca DL9030, Mono, 1955).
