I wasn't able to find George Greeley's Best Loved Christmas Piano Concertos. I was only able to find "Greatest Motion Picture Piano Concertos". Is it under another name? |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:09/19/2017 08:42:15Copy HTML Any opinions on Ed Sullivan Presents the Music of Christmas (I presume he doesn't appear on this album). Samples available at Amazon and I have to tell you I like what I hear.

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:09/20/2017 10:00:12Copy HTML Ed Sullivan didn't appear on the actual album, but he picked the songs that were recorded. Ray Bloch served as a Music Consultant for the overall project. The album was conducted by John Gregory and he arranged 12 of the 15 songs. The other 3 songs were arranged by Teo Macero and he produced the album as well. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U7Eb_FJpb60?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Lawrence F.

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:09/23/2017 02:08:08Copy HTML Thanks Chip. I didn't realize the Ed Sullivan Presents album was so high on your list. Have ordered a copy, as well as copies of this year's Real Gone reissues. Can't wait for the listening season to start.

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:11/10/2018 05:15:41Copy HTML Chip, I am wondering about the George Greeley Best Loved Christmas Piano Concertos? i see some on eBay and not to bad on pricing, but some have the familiar brownish label on the LP and some have a grey label on the LP. Is one of these a re-issue by Warner Brothers Records? You know me, as with you, i do prefer origianal releases where possible over reissues. [EDITED] to correct the spelling of Concertos. I had it as Condertos Christmas Isn't Just A Day In December, It's A Way Of Life.

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:11/11/2018 04:56:01Copy HTML Susan, For the George Greeley 1959 Christmas LP, the original Warner Bros. record label was the gold; and the original album jacket front cover was the green with the white Christmas tree.

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:08/14/2020 01:41:46Copy HTML That would be awesome, Chip! I hope you're also able to get his 1973 "It's Christmas Once Again" released on CD, too! :) |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:08/14/2020 04:20:34Copy HTML Wade, I actually got the green light from Gordon (Anderson) at Real Gone Music for a CD reissue project for Harry Simeone's 1973 Christmas LP in late December 2017. It would have been released for Christmas 2018; but unfortunately, I couldn't track down the original masters. Regrettably, the album was recorded with a small independent record company, Omnisound Records, and no one seems to know what became of the original masters; even Mr. Simeone's daughter Molly, with whom I am acquainted, doesn't know. I talked about all this in my posts of 12/29/17 and 12/31/17 on the following thread: http://theyulelog.aimoo.com/topic/O_Bambino___The_Harry_Simeone_Chorale-32612-1047-1 Lawrence F. "Chip" Arcuri

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:11/04/2020 05:17:20Copy HTML Today I was delighted to find out that the classic, original Christmas with Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass is finally available in a digital format. Incidentally, while both Amazon and iTunes use lossy formats for their download releases (MP3 and AAC, respectively), you might be interested to know that most if not all the titles mentioned in this thread can be purchased as CD-quality, or in some cases better than CD-quality lossless downloads via qobuz. That Danny Davis album I just mentioned, for instance, is available there in both 44.1 kHz (CD) and 96.0 (Hi-Res) versions. |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:11/09/2020 12:32:52Copy HTML At first I was afraid that Danny Davis was the re-recorded version, which has been out digitally for quite awhile. Listening to the samples on Qobuz vs. the ones on Amazon (for the re-recording), they seem to be different. Sweet! I love that old album. |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:11/10/2020 06:21:19Copy HTML The Danny Davis re-release is the best news I've heard in a while. It is absolutely one of my top-10 favorite Christmas albums. |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:01/23/2024 04:04:03Copy HTML I'm stunned that this is the first time you had heard about this album, considering that it not only resides in the 1st Tier on my Top 500, but in my all-time Top 100; coming in at #90. It's the greatest children's Christmas album ever recorded. Lawrence F. "Chip" Arcuri

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:01/23/2024 02:01:19Copy HTML You misunderstand me, Chip. I was certainly aware of the album itself; what I hadn't known was that there had been an official digital version released. Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. |

Re:Christmas albums available as Digital Downloads Date Posted:12/04/2024 01:07:16Copy HTML That Sony Legacy list is great! Thanks for sharing. Every year I seem to luckily stumble across one or two rereleases but just by chance. How did you manage to gather such a great list? |
