Christmas In July 2019-Part 31

Time for your Saturday evening share, featuring one track that's probably the longest thing I'll share all season.

1. Tenafly High School Concert Choir-E. Brock Griffith, Director-Along The Street I Hear from Festival Of Christmas And Spring Music 1965-1966 (HMR Productions RC 93, Mono, 1966).  More from the Tenafly guys.  And girls, too, I guess, but that doesn't rhyme.

2. The Students Of Pius X School And The Manhattanville Glee Club-Angelus Ad Virginem (The Annunciation Carol) from Music In The Vatican Pavilion (The Vatican Pavilion-New York World's Fair 1964-65 PX-3, Mono, 1964).  From the New York World's Fair to your ears!

3. Wesley Dalton-Ave Maria from Echoes Of The Crucifix From The Catholic Shrine, Indian River, Michigan-Volume 1 (The Catholic Shrine, Indian River, Michigan PR4M-3279/80, Mono, 1963).  I couldn't tell you how some of this stuff turns up, I really can't.  It's just there.

4. Esther Williams And Ricardo Montalban-Baby, It's Cold Outside from M-G-M's 30th Anniversary Album (MGM E3118, Mono, 1954).  In case you didn't know it, this is the original version of the song, as performed in the movie Neptune's Daughter. And yes, that's Khan singing the male parts.

5. Redlands High School Concert Choir-Director, Wilbur H. Schowalter-Carol Of The Bells (Ukranian Carol) from Redlands High School Concert Choir 1964-65 (Handel Record Mfg. H-2008 (on Sleeve) H-2009 (on Label) Blue Vinyl, Mono, 1965).  Still one of my favorite Christmas carols.

6. The Combined Choirs Of St. Mary's Visitation Church, Dickson City, Pa. And Congregation-Entrance Hymn-Silent Night from Midnight Mass At St. Mary's (Dub Recording Company D.D. 1155/1156, Mono, 1965). I can't think of anything smart to say about this one.  It's late and I'm tired.

7. Charles R. Cronham-Organ And Chimes-Hark The Herald Angels Sing/Away In A Manger from Ring Out Christmas Bells/Hymns Of Faith, Hope And Joy (Mercury MG-20001, Mono, 1950).  A two-fer here.

8. Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan And Harry Secombe, Announcer-Wallace Greenslade-The International Christmas Pudding from Goon Show Classics-Vol. 3 (BBC Records & Tapes REB 246, Mono, 1976).  The long one I mentioned.  Not a very Christmassy episode after all, except for the title, but it has it's moments.

9. Oscar Peterson-I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm from Oscar Peterson Plays The Irving Berlin Songbook (Verve MG V-2053, Mono, 1959). Always gotta check Irving Berlin collections for holiday content.

10. Unknown Artist-Christmas Dreams from Hal Leonard Presents Choral Spectrum 1990-Senior Edition (Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation 2xLP HLP-60, Stereo, 1990).  Christmas demo music.

That's it, no more today.  Enjoy it.  Download here.
