Do They Still Make Saabs?

I promised more non-USA Christmas music yesterday, and here's something else I found in the archives. This one appears to be actual vintage Christmas music, dating all the way back to postwar Germany in 1955. Over the years I've shared plenty of music from those golden years of Christmas music, but non-US releases are still something I need more of. This record certainly scratches that itch. If it sound like something that might scratch your itch, please download and enjoy Svend Saaby Choir-Christmas Everywhere (Polydor (Germany) LPHM 46011, Mono, 1955). Pretty great cover, too!

    From IMDb: "Svend Saaby was born on 15 July 1910 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was a composer, known for Vores lille by (1954), Så ruller vi (1961) and Et moderne maskespil (1962). He died on 8 February 1995 in Denmark." I'm not sure it's the same person, but it probably is.

    Denmark shares a border with northern Germany, where the record company DG was located (Hamburg).

      Next year, you're writing all my posts! Or maybe I'll just give you all my rips and you can pick and choose the ones you like. :)

      I like 'em all. (Well, maybe not the organists or kiddie choirs!)
