Various Artists - "Around the Christmas Tree" (1957) - Decca
Hello Friends,
Found this one in a thrift store dustbin! A dollar well spent!
Subtitled, "A Special Christmas Day Program" we were a little nervous at first that there would be sermons being preached between the actual songs, but we were pleasantly surprised when we gave it a spin and found out its just a fun mix of mid-50's holiday classics.
The lineup on the record is a little square, but who cares, its a nice, relaxing record to listen to on Christmas Eve after all the errands are run, the food is cooked and the presents are wrapped!
Here's a track listing for y'all:
Side One:
Columbus Boy Choir - We Wish You A Merry Christmas
Axel Stordahl - Glade Jul (which we think is "Silent Night" in Norwegian)
Dick Haymes - The First Noel
Vincent Lopez - Cantique de Noel
Four Aces - Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Owen Bradley - Medley: Joy to the World/God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/Away in a Manger
Columbus Boy Choir - Angels We Have Heard on High
Side Two:
Columbus Boy Choir - Deck the Halls
Dick Haymes - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Shulmerich Carillon Bells - Oh, Come All Ye Faithful
Four Aces - Silent Night
Axel Stordahl - Deilig Er Jorden
Dick Haymes - Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem
Four Aces - Jingle Bells
Merry Christmas Everybody!
