Another remastered 10" from
2006, this one features Christmas carols sung in Spanish, but seems to have been created and sold in New York City for the locals. Lots of familiar carols here, performed with an organ and guitar, it's pretty good stuff. I may need to learn some more about this
William Clauson, not sure exactly what his deal is. He appears to be from Ohio and of Swedish descent, certainly not any flavor of Spanish or Hispanic. But he issued records on Capitol under the Capitol Of The World series. Odd... But if you want to listen to some of his music, this is

ReplyDeletegood stuff.
I'm confused; the label says "Stereophonic Sound"
ReplyDeleteYet your description and the transfer itself is monaural.
I saw that note and meant to mention it. There wasn't anything about the recording that sounded stereo to my ears. I was thinking it was just an error. Heaven knows I've found plenty that go the other way, they say mono but play stereo.
ReplyDeleteCoolness. Thank you. Interesting mix. Now I want to hear a harpsichord/harmonica duo.
