Blogmas 2012 Day Four - Organ and Chimes
I wonder how many organ and chimes Christmas albums were produced? Given how many that I find, they must have been profitable. There certainly wouldn't have been much expense producing them - minimal recording set-up, minimalist cover art, no songwriter royalties. This one actually goes the extra mile artwork-wise, with a really nice shiny gold-ish foil cover. This 1964 issue is no better or worse than the rest of them - very competent.

I have a request for you...
If you ever get your hands on "The Glorious Sound of Christmas" (Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra), circa 1965, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post it!

"The Glorious Sound of Christmas" is available on CD, so I won't post it.
Amazon has it.
My Dad had two or three Gospel Organ records from the 1960's. I guess organs were popular back then.
