Ebeneezer 2

If one version of A Christmas Carol isn't enough for you, here's a second, musical version, spread out on two long LPs. You know you want to listen to this! Lots of songs sprinkled in here, but I didn't try to cut them out of the narrative. You'll just have to sit and listen to it the way it was intended. This is The Ambrosian Singers And Orchestra-John McCarthy, Musical Director-Scrooge (OmniSound 2XLP N-208/N1018, Stereo, 1978). You might recognize the name of John McCarthy, he's shown up here at least once before.

      Glad someone was interested in it. I thought it was a neat package and a rare double disc for around here.

      This is the only one I've ever seen, so I don't think it's all that common, at least not on this side of the Atlantic.

    I thought I had encountered every English Christmas LP in existence, but as always you have found something new (to me)! Thanks so much.

      I believe this label also issued a really late Harry Simeone Christmas album.
