    Back in the early 60's my father worked for a local tire company and walking into the store, those albums were packed on carousels, and they were free with any purchase of tires or service........ My father would bring some albums home and we played them for hours on end. Great holiday memories, great years. For those of us lucky enough to have lived in those times, the younger generations could not imagine how good those years were, compared to today's times. You don't know what you've had till it's gone! At least we could still enjoy those albums today.

      So many of the young have become like a cancer bent on the destruction of a great country. They claim that almost every husband was an abuser and every wife wanted to go to work but was forced to stay home. That's not how I remember it. The wives were _glad_ to stay home and their houses were clean. They got to relax and bake for the holidays and decorate. They had their hair done and were home when the kids stepped off the bus. Their men, on the other hand, were a little bit grouchy sometimes, napping and looked put upon with the weight of the world on their shoulders. The yards were kept mowed and no one rented. No one was abused and dammit, the wives DID NOT want to go to work all day. They liked being around the house. Women used to outlive men, but now women under 40 have higher heart attack rates than men. I remember the wives going to each other's homes during the day for coffee. Some sold Avon or Tupperware. None even went out and got part time jobs because going to work sucks. We all know it sucks. Going in with your menses or preg sucks. Going in when you have dozens of cookies or several pies to back sucks. Coming home and cleaning and cooking sucks. It really does. Housewifery, if done properly with home cooked meals including peeling and slicing carrots, is a full time job. It's time consuming if done well and healthfully. Anyway, I'm just mad right now about everything changing faster and faster.

      @allenjones3130 2 роки тому +1

      I concur wholeheartedly. Recent holiday songs like "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" simply don't measure up to the Christmas classics.

    Firestone's second-to-last Xmas LP is a gem! Roberta Peters offers a profoundly moving "First Noel" and displays her coloratura skills on "Alleluia', Jack Jones and the Vienna Boys Choir sing superbly, and the Firestone Choir and Orchestra(under the baton of Irwin Kostal) are a delight. All in all, a great album. Incidentally, it's the only Firestone Christmas album that doesn't include "Joy To The World"!

    I still my parents copies of this and the Goodyear Christmas albums. I listen to this music EVERY CHRISTMAS season!!!! This year, in 2021, I longed for Christmas music so badly, that I began listening to it in September. I wear my earbuds, as not to offend anyone (it may be too early for them.) They may not want it, but I have a huge smile on my face while listening!!!!

    This album was the official start of Christmas for me and my siblings. Especially Jack Jones's This is that time of the year. My parents still have the record but this is so much better quality as we wore it out. Thank you so much for posting it. I'm sure that every year more and more people find this and are taken back to a time they fondly remember.

    It's great to hear this again. I guess you could say I grew up with these albums as my father was Richard M Bradshaw, supervisor of production. See the credits on the back of the album. In fact, I met Julie Andrews on a trip to the studio one memorable day in 1965.

    • @TheSorrowfulFlower
      @TheSorrowfulFlower  11 років тому +8

    This album and its selection of songs brings back wonderful childhood memories for me when my mother would play these records on our Motorola console record player. I still remember Jack Jones' "This is that time of the year" vividly, along with the Vienna Boys Choir. These records are priceless in their quality and the sweet childhood memories they evoke are beyond comparison. Thank you so much for posting these albums!

    Thanks for adding these. My mother had several of these records and she would play them on her record stereo (the kind that looked like a piece of furniture) while we decorated the house for Christmas. Listening brings back wonderful memories of growing up in the 70's and early 80's. Sadly, I lost my mother this Thanksgiving.

    Very cool that one can just search and be listening to these classics in seconds. I grew up with these also. Every time I hear "The Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts.....") it still take me back to Julie Andrews' version, the first one I heard of that song.

    • @allenjones3130
      @allenjones3130 2 роки тому

      Mr. Sack, I enjoyed JA's version of "The Xmas Song" too. It was the first time I heard it with lyrics; I'd previously heard an instrumental recording of the song by the Singer Orchestra.

    I'm so happy I found this. I remember listening to it as a boy(in the '70s) and listening to Roberta Peters singing the Mozart. I had no idea, at the age of nine that it was one of the most well-known pieces in all of the vocal repertoire nor did I know who Roberta Peters was. Imagine my surprise and shock when I found out years later that she was one of the most famous coloratura sopranos of her day. (N.B. Roberta Peters sang the rôle of Oscar in the January, 1955 Met production of Verdi's A Masked Ball. This same production featured Marian Anderson in the rôle of Ulrica which marked the beginning of integration of The Met.)

    • @sjdenning1
      @sjdenning1 3 роки тому

      As a teen, I used to practice singing w her "Alleluia" and when our top choir was learning The Messiah, I was the only soprano who knew it already! I was not a coloratura and too young, a professor sang that part but I was proud I knew it because of this album!

    • @allenjones3130

    My maternal grandfather made a reel-to-reel recording of his favorite Christmas music for my parents back in the 1970s, which included some of the Firestone albums. We listened to this every Christmas during my childhood, but the tape always ran out right before 'This is That Time of the Year' ended, so I never knew how it ended. Now, thanks to your post on UA-cam, I've finally heard the ending of that song for the first time in 38 years, so thank you!

    I don't think we ever had this ability, but I remember having Andy Williams and Perry Como Christmas albums, and my favorite, my mother's 'Sing Along With Mitch ( Miller ), with them sitting in front of Christmas tree. The Albion even came with extra pages of lyrics to hand out, to have your own sing-a-long!

    I was looking for This is That Time of The Year and stumbled on our blue Firestone Christmas album from the 60's! Lost long ago in one of many moves- it is so wonderful to hear it again! Thank you so much for putting this online. This is very special :) Happy New Year!

    I love the internet. This is what the internet was made for. Right here. Like so many others, this was the soundtrack at Christmas for me. I'm sure my mom still has the albums somewhere. Thanks for posting. I'm totally gonna rock this Playlist this year :) that's an oxymoron, but you get my drift.

    Thank you for posting this. I remember the album cover and Firestone name on it but couldn't find it posted anywhere online. Now I have it to listen to. It warms my heart with the memories of growing up in the 1960s. We didn't have TV so we listened and wore out a lot of records.

    Dang. Seems like Yesterday. We had every one of these albums, and a console stereo the size of a smart car LOL. Every year... Down to Firestone Tire the day they got the albums in, Buy the snow tires, go eat at the mom and pop version of Denny's, to the "mall" (about 20 stores) for the picture with Santa (2.00! Highway Robbery!!). In a really dark childhood, these albums were light.

      "Dance Of The Christmas Doll" is a charming instrumental number that sadly never became a standard. The song is brilliantly performed by pianist Bernie Leighton, conductor Irwin Kostal and the Firestone Orchestra.

    Yes, yes thank you! This is one of my all time favorite albums. My mom was a fourth grade teacher and took it to school and lost it! I was heartbroken. Decades later found it at a used book store, but had no way to listen to it in digital -- until now. Thank you for converting it and uploading. You are a saint. Thanks for this awesome Christmas present. Have a wonderful holiday.

    • @TheSorrowfulFlower
      @TheSorrowfulFlower  11 років тому

      TheSorrowfulFlower Hello again. I'm just now seeing your reply. For some reason I thought about this album today and wanted to make sure it is still here. Thank goodness. I remember going with my dad to our local Firestone dealership just to buy the Christmas albums. These albums remind me of him and of all the wonderful Christmas' we spent together. This particular one with Jack Jones I love so much I play it even when it isn't Christmas. My family is just used to it by now! Again, many, many thanks to you.
