Christmas In July 2019-Part 46

Good evening!  Welcome to the 18th day of our Christmas in July celebration!  It's also the third share of the day, and the 46th of the month!  That's a lot of Christmas music for you to enjoy.  Well, you won't enjoy some of it, but there's certainly going to be some tracks in there that really blow your mind.  Hopefully there are one or two of those in the stack today.  Let's find out!

1. Mira Music Box-Angel's Serenade from The Charm Of The Old Music Box-Rare Old Music Boxes From The A. Hacker Collection (Yesterday's Amusements/Premier Film & Recording Corporation 13993, Mono).  Nice place to start, some music box action for you.

2. Tenafly High School Concert Choir-E. Brock Griffith, Director-The Annunciation from Festival Of Christmas And Spring Music 1965-1966 (HMR Productions RC 93, Mono, 1966).  Some more music for you from the guys at Tenafly.

3. Virginia Babikian, Soprano, With Beverly Ehret, Accompanist-Ave Maria from Recital In Song (Triton Record Productions RIS LP 76732, Mono, 1960).  What can I say, it's another version of Ave Maria.  I almost typed Anna Maria.  It's late...

4. Mantovani And His Orchestra-Greensleeves from Greensleeves (London LL 570, Mono, 1952).  He must have recorded this one more than once because I'm pretty sure I've got a stereo version somewhere.

5. Georgia Gibbs, Orchestra Directed By Glenn Osser-Looks Like A Cold Cold Winter from Her Nibs, Georgia Gibbs (Coral CRL 57183, Mono, 1958).  Great track alert!  Don't miss this one!

6. Jane Froman-Orchestra And Chorus Conducted By Glenn Osser-One Little Candle from Faith (Capitol T726, Mono, 1956).  Two tracks in a row featuring orchestral duties from Glenn Osser.  Total coincidence, I didn't plan that at all.

7. The Choir Of Christ Episcopal Church-Shepherds' Cradle from 75 Men And Boys (No Label 2xLP BL 1500 (Side 4-Christmas Carol Service) (Bloomfield, Glen Ridge), Mono).  Wish I knew more about this one, but it came in two totally blank sleeves.  I was glad I took the time to check inside them.

8. The Ray Charles Singers-Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year from Lovelier Than Ever (Metro (MGM) M-562, Mono, 1965).  I believe these tracks are compiled from their earlier Winter-themed album. Well, at least all the tracks I intend to share.

9. The Harlequins, Orchestration-Harrison Register-A Winter Romance from The Harlequins (Harcap LP 2541 (Capitol Custom MB-238/239), Mono, 1962).  A great song from a college group.  And for a treat, look up the cover to this one on Discogs.  And if you have a car like that you want to send me, I wouldn't turn it away.

10. Unknown Artist-The Birthday Of A King from Choral Celebration Vol. VIII (Jensen Publications JP-6400, Stereo, 1985).  The only demo track today, and the only stereo song as well.

That's it for today, hope you enjoyed something in there.  Here's the download link, see you again tomorrow.
