Christmas In July 2022-Part 9

Almost to the halfway mark of the month, and I'm a little over halfway through my pile of songs to share. I may have figured this out wrong. Hope I can make it to the end of the month, but that's weeks away, no need to worry now.

1. A Spotless Rose by St. Olaf Choir-Kenneth Jennings, Director-Soloist: Robert Smith from Sing For Joy (St. Olaf Records E-269, Stereo). Somehow I doubt that the soloist here is the same guy as sings lead for The Cure, but maybe.

2. From The Nutcracker Suite "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" by Portsmouth Sinfonia-Conductor: John Farley from the LP Portsmouth Sinfonia Plays The Popular Classics (Columbia KC 33049, Stereo, 1973). I like all kinds of stuff, some good, some bad. But this...

3. He Is Born by The Choir Of The First Presbyterian Church Of Dearborn, Alexander J. Turco-Organist And Director, from Carols And Anthems (No Label H-1496/1497, Mono, 1967). That's Dearborn, Michigan, for those of you who aren't from the US. Near Detroit.

4. Winter-Edit by Armando Trovajoli-Sung By Michele Mattera from Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow (Warner Bros W 1552, Mono, 1964). Soundtrack stuff. I think it says 'Edit' because I cut the Winter part out of a longer medley of unrelated stuff. I hope I did that correctly, but we'll likely never know.

5. Smiling In Winter by Spoons from Arias & Symphonies (A&M SP-4920, Stereo, 1982). I think this is another of those three records I found all together in a Goodwill bin in St. Pete.

And that's it for the regular songs. The rest of this is production music sounds.

6. Toy Time B from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 13 (William B. Tanner Company TRS V-A Disc 13, Stereo)

7. Orchestrated Pattern (Christmas) (God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen) from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 31-Wild Work Parts (Media General TRS V-A/D-31, Stereo).

8. Christmas Caring C from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 6 (William B. Tanner Company TRS Vol A Disc 6, Stereo).

9. January Clearance-Tag from New TTS Production Music Tracks #3317 (William B. Tanner Company 3317, Stereo).

10. We've Got Gifts Galore And So Much More For Christmas-Vocal from The Great Christmas And Special Events Production Library-Disc 7 (Airforce Broadcast Services Disc 7, Stereo, 1984).

More great stuff. Hope you're enjoying the shares!
