Harry Simeone Chorale "Sing We Now Of Christmas" (20th Century Fox Records FOX 1007 1959)

I thought I'd share the cover scans of this LP that I just found on ebay. I read on Amazon, at the page for the re-release of this recording on CD, that the new CD does not include the lyrics as they appear on the back of this LP cover. So I thought I'd do some high res scans of the lyrics for you, and try to set them up in pages containing the lyrics of 4 songs each. Here are front and back cover scans of the LP I bought. After that are the 8 Lyric Pages, and a 9th page that would be the last page of a CD Insert Booklet:

Christmas Through The Years 5 LP Box Set (1984 Reader's Digest RDA-143A)

Here's a set I'm working on now. I have the songs all ripped to my PC, but none of the files are tagged yet. Once I get that done I'll be sure to share the links in my YUKU Forum. Here's what the box cover looks like:

A CHRISTMAS RE-SHARE (I Thought I'd Bump This Up)

ON DECEMBER 23, 1954 CBS AIRED A LIVE SHOWING OF CHARLES DICKENS' "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" STARRING FREDRIC MARCH AS SCROOGE/BASIL RATHBONE AS MARLEY'S GHOST/MUSIC BY BERNARD HERRMANN/SINGING BY ROGER WAGNER CHORALE. THIS RECORDING WAS TAKEN FROM THE DVD OF THE KINEOSCOPE OF THAT AIRING. THE SOUND QUALITY IS NOT THE BEST, BUT YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THIS PERFORMANCE ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN I'M SURE. ENJOY!!!




"A Christmas Carol" Starring Fredric March As Scrooge Zip File


"A CHRISTMAS CAROL" STARRING BASIL RATHBONE AS SCROOGE & FREDRIC MARCH AS THE NARRATOR. SHOWN IN DECEMBER OF 1959:







"A Christmas Carol" Starring Basil Rathbone As Scrooge Zip File

There is also an LP Of "A Christmas Carol" with Basil Rathbone as Scrooge, and the Lyn Murray Singers that I have not been able to acquire. Here's are examples of the front covers from 2 different releases of the LP:





I've heard these LPs are desireable because of the Christmas Carols the Lyn Murray Singers perform that are included at the end of side #2 of the LPs.


Kiddie Records Weekly has shared the older 78rpm version of this record HERE. It is basically the same recording as the 33rpm 12 Inch LP Version without the Christmas carols that are on the LP B-Side.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Well here it is Christmas Eve 2009. As we approach the big Day I just want to say how much this time of year makes me realize how much I miss my parents. They're spending Christmas together this year in Eternity. My Dad just died last September, and my Mom died Thanksgiving weekend of 2004. They'll have plenty of company with all 4 of their Parents, my Aunt Ila and her husband Bob Lees, and as of 2 days ago my Aunt Carol who was my Mom's Brother David's wife. Oh yes and also my oldest cousin Steve who died in 1998 from his lifelong struggle with CF, and his youngest nephew Donnie who was killed 2 years ago in Iraq.

We don't have our big 60 person Christmas Day gatherings any longer. However as time goes by those who have passed will start up the tradition all over again up there. We miss you all, but we know you are all in a much better place now! Love you Mom and Dad and everyone!!! Happy Christmas Eve!!!

TWINKLER BRAND SPINNER ORNAMENTS

I think I had posted earlier that I had inherited 5 Spinner Ornaments from my Paternal Grandmother. I recently found an entire box full of 12 of the red spinner ornaments, and I paid a small fortune to win it. I wanted them mainly for the box since I'd never seen one in person before. So now I have an original box to store 12 of the 17 spinners in after Christmas. I'm doing well this year in the way of original Christmas Decoration boxes. I already posted a couple months ago about the Alpine Village Box set THAT I found online.

As for the spinners I am keeping 12 in the box, and the other 5 I have already sold on ebay. I made enough from those 5 to pay for half the price of the box of 12. Here's a couple of photos of the Spinners:

MY PUTZ STYLE ALPINE VILLAGE DISPLAY

I finally got my Alpine Village set up in a display. Here's some photos:

PUTZ STYLE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE

OUR FAMILY GOT ONE OF THESE PUTZ-STYLE CARDBOARD CHRISTMAS VILLAGES AROUND 1969. WE DISPLAYED IT UNDER OUR TREES THAT YEAR AND THE NEXT. FOR SOME REASON AFTER THAT IT WAS RELAGATED TO MY SISTER'S BEDROOM. WELL IN 1993 I MOVED BACK HOME FROM TENNESSEE. I ASKED MY MOTHER IF I COULD HAVE THAT VILLAGE SINCE IT JUST SAT IN A BOX FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. SHE SAID YES. I'VE DISPLAYED IT, OR PARTS OF IT EVERY YEAR SINCE. HOWEVER LONG AGO THE ORIGINAL BOX IT CAME IN, AND THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT STRING DISAPPEARED. SO I'D ALWAYS KEPT IT IN AN OLD COWBOY BOOT BOX, AND USED A MINI-LIGHT STRING TO LIGHT THE BUILDINGS WITH.

THIS PAST SUMMER I HAPPENED ACROSS AN IDENTICAL SET STILL IN THE ORIGINAL BOX, AND ONE SMALL FORTUNE LATER IT IS NOW MINE. IT IS GOING TO HAVE A PLACE IN A NICE SMALL VILLAGE ON OUR HUTCH THIS YEAR. HERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE SET (INCLUDING THE FIRST PHOTO OF THE LAST YEAR IN 1972 THAT IT WAS EVER PUT ON DISPLAY IN OUR HOME):

















AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS THE SET FROM THIS YEAR IS IDENTICAL TO THE SET WE GOT IN 1969. MY DAD COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT CAME FROM, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD PROBABLY EITHER SEARS OR WOOLWORTH'S. I'M NOT SURE WHO PRODUCED THIS SET. ALL IT SAYS ON THE BOX IS "MADE IN JAPAN", AND NO. 1041.

THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS WITHOUT EITHER ONE OF OUR PARENTS BEING ALIVE. SO THIS VILLAGE WILL BE LIT IN THEIR MEMORIES! I LOVE YOU BOTH MOM AND DAD!!!

HAPPY HOLLYDAZE CHRISTMAS NOVELTY SONGS

THERE'S ONLY ONE SONG THAT I WANTED TO INCLUDE, BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYWHERE, AND THAT IS "THE HAPPY REINDEER" BY DANCER, PRANCER AND NERVOUS. ANYWAY. HAPPY HOLLYDAZE:

LOTS OF MISSING/DELETED FILES!

I'VE HAD TO SHUT DOWN COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG FOR NOW BECAUSE THE TROLL'S MOMMY TAUGHT HIM HOW TO CUT AND PASTE COMMENTS.

I'VE DISCOVERED THIS WEEK THAT MEGAUPLOAD HAS DELETED DOZENS OF MY MUSIC FILES IN ALL OF MY BLOGS. I GUESS THEY ARE TIRED OF COLLECTING MY PREMIUM ACCOUNT FEES ANY LONGER, AND WOULD LIKE ME TO MOVE ON. I HOPE TO HAVE THEM RE-SHARED AGAIN SOON, BUT RIGHT NOW MY TIME IS BEING TAKEN UP TRYING TO RECOVER FILES FROM THE PC VIRUS SENDING IDIOT THAT WIPED OUT MY OPERATING SYSTEM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RE-INSTALL WINDOWS XP. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO EVEN GET BACK IN UNDER "SAFE MODE" SO I LOST ABOUT 72GB WORTH OF MUSIC, IMAGE AND SOFTWARE FILES MUCH OF WHICH ARE IRREPLACEABLE. BEAR WITH ME AS I TRY TO GET THE DEAD LINKS FIXED.
BTW - I GOT THE REALLY BAD VIRUS A FEW WEEKS AGO FROM TRYING TO DO AN UPDATE TO REALPLAYER 9. I JUST I'D LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT.

JACK JONES "THE JACK JONES CHRISTMAS ALBUM" (KAPP RECORDS 1964 KL 1399)

THIS WAS THE ALBUM THAT INTRODUCED ME TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC. MY DAD GOT THIS LP SOMEWHERE IN 1964 WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD. I USED TO LISTEN TO IT A COUPLE OF TIMES EVERY WEEK FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF DECEMBER BACK THEN. EVEN NOW 44 YEARS LATER I LISTEN TO IT ON MANY OCCASSIONS AT CHRISTMAS TIME. I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT IT REMAINS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE CHRISTMAS LP IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE MEMORY RUSH I GET OF THOSE CHILDHOOD CHRISTMAS' EVERY TIME THE FIRST NOTES OF "SLEIGH RIDE" COME THROUGH MY SPEAKERS. TIME MOVES ON WAY TOO QUICKLY. JUST FOR A MOMENT THOUGH WHEN THIS LP STARTS TO PLAY IT IS 1964 ALL OVER AGAIN.





JACK JONES "THE JACK JONES CHRISTMAS ALBUM"ZIP FILE

UPDATE: IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THIS WAS NOT THE 1964 LP COVER OF THIS RECORDING. I'M GOING TO BE AT MY DAD'S ON THE 20TH, AND I'LL HAVE TO CHECK. I'M HOPING HE'LL LET ME BRING HOME ALL OF HIS CHRISTMAS LPs BECAUSE I'M MISSING SCANS OF ABOUT 95% OF THEM. HERE IS THE 1964 LP COVER OF THIS SAME RECORDING. NOW THAT I SEE IT I AM ALMOST CERTAIN THIS WAS THE COVER ON MY DAD'S LP. HOWEVER, I'M NOT 100% POSITIVE. I KNOW HIS LP IS MONO, AND THIS ONE SAYS STEREO:

RONALD COLMAN - "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" / CHARLES LAUGHTON - "MR. PICKWICK'S CHRISTMAS" (MCA DL 734684)

END OF THE ROAD FOLKS?? OR MAYBE NOT!!!

IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED I TRY A DONATION BUTTON TO PAY FOR MUSIC FILE HOSTING FEES. I HAVE DONE SO AT TOP OF THE RIGHT HAND COLUMN. WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. I THANK ALL OF THOSE VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS THAT HAVE COME IN SO FAR.

I ALSO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO DOWNLOAD AS MANY OF MY MEGAUPLOAD SHARES AS THEY CAN. I GET REWARD POINTS FOR EVERY "UNIQUE" (NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS) DOWNLOAD. I CAN CASH IN 20,000 POINTS EACH MONTH, AND GET 1 MORE MONTH OF FREE PREMIUM MEGAUPLOAD (WHICH GIVES ME 25OGB OF FILE STORAGE). AT PRESENT I HAVE ABOUT 32,000 POINTS LEFT FROM PAST DOWNLOADS. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OUTPOURING OF KIND WORDS, ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.

NOT SURE HOW MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH DISABLED AND ON SSI DISABILITY. WELL WHAT WITH THE RISING COST OF FUEL, GROCERIES, RENT, ETC.., ETC.. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CLOSE DOWN EVERY WEBSITE I OWN THAT IS PAID FOR IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. SO SADLY ANYMORE MUSIC SHARES WILL NOT BE TAKING PLACE AT THIS, OR MY OTHER 2 SHARING BLOGS, OR MY 250FREE.COM WEBSITES. AS A MATTER OF FACT I WILL PROBABLY BE PUTTING MY ENTIRE MUSIC COLLECTION UP FOR SALE AT MY BLUE-JAY WEBSITE. THIS BLOG IS FREE SO IT SHALL REMAIN HERE. HOWEVER, COME THE END OF JUNE, I WOULD SAY, I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THE SITES WHERE I PAY TO HAVE MY MANY MUSIC FILES HOSTED. I POST THIS NOTICE NOT FOR SYMPATHY, BUT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD GRAB EVERY MUSIC FILE I HAVE AT MY 3 BLOGS & MY 25OFREE.COM WEBSITES WHILE YOU CAN. COME THE END OF JUNE THEY WILL NO LONGER HAVE VALID DOWNLOAD LINKS. SORRY TO HAVE TO TAKE THINGS TO THIS EXTREME, BUT THAT IS HOW THINGS ARE GOING NOW WITH OUR ECONOMY. IT'S BEEN FUN, AND I HATE TO DO ALL OF THIS, BUT SHORT OF LOSING MY MARRIAGE OVER THE FIGHTS WE'VE HAD LATELY OVER FINANCES, I HAVE NO CHOICE. THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY MANY READERS AND FANS OVER THESE PAST 4 OR 5 YEARS. DO KEEP IN TOUCH SOME HOW. THANKS!!!
