Canterbury Tales

Time for an early morning share that's a partial re-share of something I gave you earlier in the year. This record collects up all the Christmas records put out by The Canterbury Choir on 10" LPs originally (and likely 78s). It makes for a pretty full LP. Looks like this collection came out not too long after the early passing of the director of the group, Macklin Marrow. The 10" I shared earlier doesn't mention his passing, but this 12" does. Not a huge amount of info about him out on the web, but you can piece his story together if you do enough searching. I'm too lazy to do that, but here's his Christmas record if you want to give it a listen. This is The Canterbury Choir-Beloved Christmas Hymns And Carols (MGM E3061, Mono, 1953).
