Cana-Day, Part 8

Back to the Canadian organ here for part six of our tribute to the Christmas records of Canada. No Lucien Hetu this time (but he's coming back sooner or later), instead we get a double shot of Fernand Lapierre. Well, not really twice the music, but two different versions of the same record. You see, he's cleverly dubbed a little bit of cocktail lounge sound over the entire length of the record to try and make it sounds like the soundtrack to an elegant night out on the town. The problem to my ears is that whoever did the work used a short loop of sound effect that is clearly repeating over and over and over again to the point of annoyance. I guess it was too hard to create a longer loop that you wouldn't notice. So I made a version where each whole side is one long track (as if you were listening to the side all the way through on your own personal record player) and a version where it's cut into tracks with only a small bit of the loop the fades out at the end of the track. I think it's a little less annoying that way, but your mileage may vary. This is Fernand Lapierre á l'orgue Hammond-Noël Avec Fernand Lapierre (Trans-Canada Maximum (Canada) TCM 968, Stereo).
