Hi Ho Ho Ho Ho

Time for the final installment of our trilogy of recordings from child prodigy Heintje. This one seems to have been released in the same year as the last one, which doesn't seem right. Who would release two Christmas albums in the same season? There must be something I'm missing here. Maybe it's just that the fine folks over at Discogs don't know what they're talking about, wouldn't be the first time. Anyhow, here he is again, this is Heintje-When The Christmas-Bells Are Ringing (Polydor (Canada) 2310 148, Stereo, 1971). Wait a sec, is this an English-language release of that last record? My German isn't good enough to figure this stuff out. I don't think so, but there is a bit of duplication here. The truth will out.

1. When The Christmas-Bells Are Ringing
2. Silent Night
3. Winter Wonderland
4. O Christmas Tree
5. Jingle Bells
6. Little Toy-Tin Soldier
7. White Christmas
8. Little Drummerboy
9. O Thou Joyful Day
10. Wintertide
11. Cowboy Carol
12. From Heaven High The Angels Come

  1. Several of the songs are English versions of songs he recorded on the German album (Little Drummer Boy, Winter Wonderland, White Christmas,etc) but each album contains songs not on the other.
