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 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.
