Last week I scored this great 3-record Christmas vinyl set. It is "The Bells of Bethlehem"!
Looking at it now on eBay I see a set priced at $15. Vinyl is generally not valuable and Christmas vinyl is even less so. You can pretty much get Christmas records for a song which is one of the many things I love about them.
Amazon has "The Bells of Bethlehem" starting at $4.10.
I beat that price. Mine cost me 25 cents. But "The Bells of Bethlehem" is a bargain at any price.
You get to hear a genuine 1950s Mass at Christ's birthplace in Bethlehem. The music is good but I love just hearing the Latin prayers in between.
Then you get Erich Kunz singing "O Tannenbaum" and "Joseph Lieber Joseph Mein" and other goodies. You know me, I like Erich Kunz.
There are a bunch of French carols, and "The Holly and the Ivy," sung by the Deller Consort. A goodly group of singers!
It is too early to be listening to this but I admit it, I have already been doing some guilty binge-ing on this set. Then on Thanksgiving my nieces and nephews were playing it. They are fascinated with vinyl.
As am I!
