The first two albums of the series are the Firestone Orchestra and chorus, and then they add the Boy Choir. The later albums are more of the artists of the day singing their Christmas time hits. I love them all and listen to each of them yearly.
I remember Firestone's "white album" very fondly. This LP gave me a chance to hear the great voices of the late opera stars Rise Stevens and Brian Sullivan for the first time. I was, and still am profoundly moved by Ms. Stevens' rendition of "O Come Emmanuel". Mr. Sullivan was one of those tenors who had voices that were both very lyrical and very powerful. Rest in peace, Rise and Brian.
You kept my favorite part.. the scratching sound of a record. Thank you for not "cleaning up" the recording.. good memories of my grandparents house during christmas.
I'm glad you don't mind the scratching sound, Brenda! Hearing it takes me back more than a cleaned up version would. Thanks for listening and commenting! Merry Christmas :))
Such a beautiful, nostalgic contribution to the Holyday season...so grateful.

I listen to this on your stream every year. Childhood memories. Thank you so much!
This is the one I picked up at a local Salvation Army Store a few years back-mint condition and seemed played maybe once! 🎄🎉
Merry Christmas! Many thanks for posting this! God bless you and yours with a beautiful Holiday season!
This is BEAUTIFUL, my Christmas past, memories of my beloved parents in Heaven...thank you so very much for this gift.
This album was recorded and issued in 1963, the year John F. Kennedy died.
