Christmas In July 2019-Part 21

Good day!  And welcome to another bonus edition of Christmas in July.  Gotta pump out some more shares to make sure the folder is empty by the end of the month.  I'm sure you won't mind, as long as I keep sharing great lost Christmas music with you.  Well, I can't vouch for how great it is, but it has it's moments.

1. Ferlin Husky With The Jordanaires And Millie And Marvin Hughes' Orchestra-Out In The Cold Again from Boulevard Of Broken Dreams (Capitol T880, Mono, 1957).  I've only ever heard one other version of this song, and it's a good one.  I was happy to find this version.

2. Marais And Miranda With The Pardo Ancient Instrument Ensemble-The Sheep Under The Snow (Celtic) from Ballads Of Long Ago (Columbia Masterworks ML 4894, Mono, 1956).  Another good track by this great yet forgotten duo.

3. Robert Noehren At The Organ Of The Trinity Lutheran Church, Cleveland, Ohio-Von Himmel Hoch from Organ Music Of The Lutheran Church (Audiophile AP-55 (Transparent Red Vinyl), Mono). German Christmas music from red vinyl! How can you go wrong with that?

4. Deodato-Ave Maria from Whirlwinds (MCA MCA-410, Stereo, 1974).  Not the sort of thing I expected to find, but there it was.

5. The Wanderin' Five-Go Tell It On The Mountain from Come On In!!! We're Pickin' And Singin' (Somerset SF-18600, Stereo).  Interesting stuff from a budget label. Probably been releaed under 5 or 6 other names.

6. John Barry-The Lion In Winter (From The Motion Picture "The Lion In Winter") from Ready When You Are, J.B. (Columbia CS 1003, Stereo, 1970).  From the guy that brought you all the best James Bond music back in the day.

7. Bedford High School-Little Drummer Boy from Bedford High School, Temperance, Michigan (API ARIS 8022, Stereo). There seems to have been a period in the mid sixties where every choir in the US recorded this song.

8. Schola Moderna Chorale, Early Instruments, Organ, Members Of The New York Brass Quintet, With Oswald Hoffmann-Narrator-The Nativity from Luther Legacy (A Cshola Moderna Recording 2xLP SML-450/451, Stereo).  This was a big fancy double album that looked like it was on a major label, but seems to have been a home brew thing of some sort.

9. Unknown Artist-O Holy Night from Choral Celebration Vol. VIII (Jensen Publications JP-6400, Stereo, 1985).  Demo...

10. Sistine Choir (Coro Cantori Romani Di Musica Sacra-Capella Sistina C Basiliche Maggiori)-Pastores Dicite (Speak, Shepherds) from Selections From The Sound Tracks Of The Motion Pictures Christ Is Born And Christ Is Risen (Counterpoint/Esoteric (Everest) CPST-5600, Stereo, 1972). An interesting collection of songs in Latin from a soundtrack having something to do with The Vatican.

Ten more, just like that.  Here's the download link.  One more set later on today, stand by...
