A Reshared Rarity
This one is a bit of a rarity in that it is something I posted back in 2010 that hasn't been seen at the blog ever since. And it's also a rare request that I can actually fill, since I don't think it's seen the light of digital day anywhere since I first shared it. It's a release on the Enoch Light-led Grand Award label, though I think there are also copies on the Brigade label which released other Christmas things that first showed up on Grand Award. Must be some link there that needs some more investigating. If you're interested in the mid-century choral sound, then this might be for you. It's a pretty old rip though, so beware. Bitrate is a little low, and this predates my use of ClickRepair, so your ears may not thank you for downloading. But if you still want it, this is The Edward Carrington Chorale-Christmas Chorale (Grand Award GA 33-387, Mono, 1958)
1. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
2. Good King Wenceslas
3. Silent Night
4. The First Noel

Great!
ReplyDeleteI just now posted the stereo version of this: http://musicyouwont.blogspot.com/2020/01/christmas-chorale-edward-carrington.html
ReplyDeleteMy copy's not the best, but it's far from the worst. Nice, full stereo, and some crossover, cut-wise, with an Audition label LP I posted this season. Audition, of course, was part of the Grand Award stable of labels. (Stable of labels?)
Thanks for digging that one up, Lee! I added a pointer my post above, but it's not likely to drive much traffic until next season. But hopefully someone stumbles across it in the meantime.
