Christmas In July 2019-Part 51

Missed my scheduled noon-time share today, but I'm back at the computer and trying to put together something in real times.  Funny how it always seems to be the weekends when I run out of steam and can't keep up with the posting. I guess there's just too much other stuff going on that I want to get involved with.  Anyhow, let's jump in and see what's in the pile today!

1. Arranged And Conducted By Roger King Mozian-The Bells Of St. Mary's from Spectacular Brass (MGM SE3844, Stereo, 1960).  Part of a series of stereo spectacular discs from MGM, it's good stuff.

2. Jimmy Jenson-I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas from The Swingin' Swede (aka This Is Jimmy Jenson...The Country Swingin' Swede!) (Jay Records LP-1001, Stereo).  More Yogi Yorgesson music with a country lilt.

3. Madison Senior Choir-Mr. David Alan Ayers, Director-Accompanists, Katherine Sutch, Janis Black-Jeanette Isabella from The Joys Of Christmas And The Sounds Of Today (United Sound USR-4976, Stereo).  So glad I stopped into the Salvation Army store last week on my way home from the eye doctor.  That's where the two record from this high school group came into my life.

4. Unknown Artist-Joyful All Ye Nations from Superior New Works For Concert Band-Vol. XVII Advanced Edition (Jenson Publications 2xLP JP-6500, Stereo, 1985).  Another demo record from a large pile of such records.  I've still got 15 or so of them that I didn't even record for this year.

5. Schola Moderna Chorale, Early Instruments, Organ, Members Of The New York Brass Quintet, With Oswald Hoffmann-Narrator-The Magnificat from Luther Legacy (A Cshola Moderna Recording 2xLP SML-450/451, Stereo).  Another track from this very professional looking album

6. The Irish Rovers-The Marvelous Toy from On The Shores Of Americay (Decca/MCA DL 75302, Stereo, 1971).  I've been fans of these guys ever since I first heard The Unicorn in junior high school.  And then of course that led to Shel Silverstein in general, and the world is a better place because of him.

7. Les Brown And His Band Of Renown-The Nutcracker Suite from Concert Modern (Capitol T959, Stereo, 1958).  A frequent share around here, but it's just that good.

8. Tom Glazer, Vocals And Guitar, And His Friends-Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer from Children's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (CMS Records CMS689, Stereo, 1977).  A bonafied Christmas classic right there, no excuses needed!

9. Poplar Hill Development School-See The Flakes Of Fleecy Snow from My Northern Home-Poplar Hill Development School's Students Sing (No Label, No Number, Red Lake, Ontario, Stereo, 1972).  One of the very first tracks I found after the conclusion of last season in July, and one of the first things I ripped for this season.

10. New York Percussion Trio-Sleigh Bells from GE Stereophonic High-Fidelity Presents Selections In Stereo-Colorful Excerpts From 15 Brilliant Albums (General Electric & The Stereophonic Music Society Record Club S 172, Stereo).  It's really just Sleigh Ride with a different title, but it's well done and I like it.  I'm sure you will too. I need to find the full album with this on it, not just the sampler I grabbed it from.

That's it, ten songs, posted late, but posted none the less. Something for everyone today, hope you enjoy it.  Here's the download link, see ya'll later.

  1. I have to admit I hated The Unicorn way back when, but then I never knew it was by Shel Silverstein. So upon reflection, I still hate it.

    Nice collection, though!

  4. I really liked Jeanette, Isabella as well as The Nutcracker Suite and The Marvelous Toy. Lots of fun on that last track.

  5. Hi, Ernie...that cut by the New York Percussion Trio was apparently done in 1958 on an album called "Holidays For Percussion", meaning lots of different holidays. I found it on Discgogs.
