The Whole World

How can you possibly go wrong with an album entitled The World Of Christmas? Well, it promises more than it gives, I think, since it's all choral music from England and leaves out a really big chunk of the world. I grabbed this LP from the shelf after I saw another blog somewhere share a dozen or so records from the same series that were all rock music, or at least pop from the time, but this one wasn't nearly so interesting to my ears. Still, you might like it. This is The Choir Of King's College, Cambridge-The World Of Christmas (Argo (UK) SPA/A 104, Stereo, 1970). There appears to be a volume two of this release, but I couldn't find it in the archives. That doesn't mean I don't already have a copy, but it's functionally the same as not have it if you can't find it.
