Christmas In July 2019-Part 60

Well, I think I'm finally to the point where I can drop back down to two posts a day, like I started doing back at the beginning of the month.  The counts are still sort of tentative, and it depends on what more I can record between now and the end of the month, but time is running short, so there may not be too much more placed into the pile.  Unfortunately, I also counted the publisher's demo tracks I recorded and realized that I have to start sharing out two of them a day to have any hope of getting through them all.  I'm glad I didn't stick with my original plan to record all of those style records I have here in the pile or there might not have been time for anything else all month.

1. Jean Martinon Conducting The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra-Les Patineurs-Finale from Le Cid-Ballet Music/Les Patineurs (The Skaters)-Ballet (London CS 6058, Stereo, 1958).  We finally arrive at the end of this epic ballet, and I think it was worth the wait.

2. Arlo Guthrie-The Pause Of Mr. Claus from Arlo (Reprise RS 6299, Stereo, 1968).  I've shared this with you before, but I pulled it from a WB sampler album.  This time I pulled it from the original LP.  Not any difference, really, but I feel better about it.

3. Hank Snow-Snowbird from Snowbird (RCA Camden ACL1-0124, Stereo, 1973).  Some good Hank Snow from very late in his career. Not the song you might be thinking of, by the way.

4. Hugo Winterhalter-Summer Green & Winter White from A Season For My Beloved (ABC-Paramount ST 90168 (ABC Records, Mfd. By Capitol Records), Stereo, 1963).  I don't know if I'll ever be able to share out all the Christmas-adjacent tracks from this LP.

5. Unknown Artist-That Holy Night from Choral Celebration Vol. VIII (Jensen Publications JP-6400, Stereo, 1985).  The first demo track of the night.

6. Harrell C. Lucky-Toyland from Quiet Time (Melody House MH-43, Stereo).  You remember this guy, he's the one who piloted his own dream plane earlier in the season.

7. Unknown Artist-The Twelve Days Of Christmas from Superior New Works For Concert Band-Vol. XVII Advanced Edition (Jenson Publications 2xLP JP-6500, Stereo, 1985).  Our second demo track of the evening.  Sorry.

8. Hap Palmer-What A World We'd Have If Christmas Lasted All Year Long-Instrumental from Holiday Songs And Rhythms (Activity Records AR-538, Stereo, 1980).  Probably not as good as the vocal version unless you're really familiar with the song.

9. Guy Lombardo And His Royal Canadians-White Christmas from Berlin By Lombardo (Capitol ST1019, Stereo, 1959).  A short excerpt from a long medley.  I was excited when I spotted a stereo version of the record, then I looked and discovered I've shared it out three or four times already, and each one is stereo.

10. Ensemble Of The Concerts Lamoureux Under The Direction Of Darius Milhaud-Maurice Suzan, Trombone-Winter (Concertino D'Hiver) For Trombone And String Orchestra (Animé-Très Modéré-Animé) from The Four Seasons (Les Quatre Saisons) (Epic BC 1069, Stereo, 1960).  More vivaldi for you.

And that's it for now.  Download at your own risk.  See you tomorrow.
