Another Sweeping Saga

This share is a complete recording of a Christmas service in a Church in Bethlehem. As you might imagine, there's a lot of spectacle involved, but the singing seems to be almost secondary. There's not a whole lot going on here, and I doubt if you'll listen to this twice. I don't think it sold very well, and the two copies I had in my collection were both hole-punched. It does seem to have been pushed more in Israel since Discogs lists three different releases there. Give it a listen just so you know what you might be missing. This is Christmas Night In Bethlehem-The Midnight Ceremony At St. Catherine's Church (Dunhill DS-55002, Stereo, 1968). There were quite a few pages inside the gatefold of this one, but I was lazy and only scanned the first and the last pages for you. You aren't missing much, just some tourist pictures of The Holy Land.
