Three O'Clock

I feel like this may be the first time I've ever posted something based on the time of day mentioned in the album title. But this also may be one of the oddest album titles ever found on a Christmas record. I guess it's not really a true Christmas album, more something aimed to sell sheet music for a performance, but it's certainly something interesting.  For the uninitiated, Ruth Roberts & Bill Katz were the song writers behind many of the songs on Teresa Brewer's 1957 Christmas record At Christmas Time. They spent most of their career hawking those and other songs, releasing a handful of albums like this one, trying to generate sales for the performances. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just the way they found to make a living. All of those albums seem to go for too much money when they come up for sale, so I was a little surprised to find I already had this one in the archives, complete with a music book featuring all of the songs. A close listen to this album leads me to believe there's actually at least one track that features Teresa Brewer's performance from that aforementioned Christmas record, though I don't remember which track that is right this second. (Update: Echoes Of Christmas, which is actually not on Brewer's Christmas LP. What am I missing here, is this new Teresa Brewer Christmas music? Nope, I'm wrong. It's just titled Listen My Children on Brewer's Christmas album.) I'm sure someone will chime in with that info in the comments. If you wanna listen for yourself, this is Ruth Roberts & Bill Katz-The Three O'Clock Rehearsal Of Combined Band And Chorus For The Very Merry Christmas Musicale (Michael Brent Publications MBP 307, Stereo, 1977). I'm told this is all in mono, but I ripped it in stereo. Sorry.
