Chimes IV

Almost time to welcome 2026, but real quick I've got one more entry into this confusing chain of similar organ and chime records. This one doesn't appear to have anything to do with Enoch Light, Dick Hyman or Terry Snyder, but it's credited to Malcolm Richards And John Fredericks. Sound familiar? This is a budget label, so I don't want to say who was ripping who off, but there was a lot of copy-catting going on here. If these people had put this much work into making good music, they could have become millionaires. Well, I guess Enoch Light did just just that, but he's the exception that proves the rule. This is Malcolm Richards And John Fredericks-Chimes At Christmas Time (Audition AUD 33-5944, Mono). Enjoy, and Happy New Year! (Pretty sure this is a reissue of the first record I shared with you in this series, though a couple of the tracks are different. It's like playing whack-a-mole with these releases sometimes.)

1. O Little Town Of Bethlehem
2. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
3. Silent Night
4. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
5. Beautiful Savior
6. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
