Christmas Stories Six

OK, this next record is more just straight spoken word rather than stories, but since I'm throwing everything in here but the kitchen sink today, here it is. This is a series of narrations based on the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of The Church of Christ, Scientist. Oh, and there are also a few sacred hymns on here as well, featuring the Mother Church Organ. It's an interesting artifact to say the least. It's all performed anonymously and spread across a lavish two LPs in a big gatefold with some pages inside. I've recorded and scanned it all for your perusing pleasure. This is Christmas Messages By Mary Baker Eddy With Hymns From The Christian Science Hymnal (The Trustees Under The Will Of Mary Baker G. Eddy 2xLP No Number, Mono, 1965). Enjoy!

Note the Braille letters on the label designed to allow the blind to enjoy the record as well. Only on side of each LP was imprinted this way.

  1. I can't recall seeing braille on a label. Nice idea. / Buster

    1. I just this morning saw a former library CD with a Braille sticker across the front of it, so I guess they're out there.
