Minor audio issues. This recording was first pressed on TOPS label in 1959. The 100 Voices of Christmas was also listed as the "Christianaires." There were other groups such as 101 Strings, 110 Strings, 50 guitars and so on... that was a sort of trend in the 60's and 70's. Enjoy!
The record industry was always fighting a bad reputation based on how they treated groups or individual artists so it needed a bump in public perception Easy to crank out a few albums each year to help shore up their stranglehold money grab the rest of the year
@@Ablecore Thanks for your comment. We can have that conversation. My interest is in the music and preservation of these recordings. I hope that the folks that have taken part in these wonderful hymns find them to enjoy as well as the rest of us. Take Care.
I grew up with and still have an exact copy of this recording on vinyl. When I first saw it in your collection, the cover alone brought back so many memories of Christmas’s from years ago. This, along with Perry Como’s Christmas album and “Gene Autry Sings Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”, were the foundation of my family’s Christmas album collection. What a wonderful treat to see and hear this cherished memory again. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!
My parents had this album when i was a child. When i moved out i took this album with me. I played this album to death, and its so scratched up, it hardly plays anymore anymore. Thanks for posting this! Now i can enjoy my childhood memories again! .
Just shocking that they could have charged only .99 cents for such a beautiful album. They spend millions of dollars on the production of albums today and still, somehow, they sound like road construction.
In 2022 money that 99 cents is $8.28, a very good price by today's standards~ I vaguely remember paying $2-5 for albums in the late '70s.. I concur on the road construction tho!
You have an amazing collection of Christmas music. I thoroughly enjoy your albums. This one is a winner, for sure. I will be adding this to my "Christmas 2022" playlist! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, 99¢ sounds good. I still remember paying 9¢ per can for Campbells soup and 25¢ for a loaf of bread. But my '66 pay was $1.64/hr. It was my first (very challenging!) job, and I thought I was rich! 😁 Six years later my husband and I traded in our Camaro Super Sport, because the hi-test gasoline it required hit 40.9¢ per gallon! We thought that was just too much money for us to pay! 😂 It's all relative.
That's true Rebecca. By curiosity I checked my 1967 Sears catalog and found a 23" color TV console that cost $599.95 at that time. So I found a conversion chart and it calculated the price today would be $5,353.42!! Of course today you can buy a 40" Widescreen TV for under $200. Conversely, the 2022 Widescreen TV would have cost you $22.00 in 1967. The .99 cent album in 1968 would cost $8.48 today!
As I recall my hard working father's budget those 99cent records were infrequent purchases those days. Most every low budget record I hear impresses me for the earnest well intentioned heartfelt even spiritual effort these choirs offer up. Low budget, very minimal accompaniment, and yet truly worshipful listening. Thanks for preserving so many.

Christmas carols sung the way they should be sung!
You are correct!
Beautiful. Just as long as it ISN'T the mormon tabernacle.
It's always been hard to enjoy their Christmas recordings, knowing that they worship a very different Jesus than the one in the Holy Bible.
Merry 2022 Christmas everyone

I have found some Christmas records listed at 49 cents. That was probably due to seasonal inventory clearance.
In 2022 money that 99 cents is $8.28, a very good price by today's standards~ I vaguely remember paying $2-5 for albums in the late '70s..
I concur on the road construction tho!
Thank you so much!!! They do my favorite rendition of Carol of the Bells. Grew up with this beautiful music. Thanks again very much.
Glad you enjoy!

Glad you enjoy!

Glad you enjoy! This record was a common find in the thrift and record stores... so a lot of folks had this one.

It's a good one!

Beautiful, but not stereo.
Good ear. I opted for the mono as the stereo here was not true stereo. Thanks!
@@christmasrecords12-25 Thank you! The wonderful work you do, Christmas Records, is so awesome. 🙂
Old school
Unfortunately 90% England wouldn't recognize a carol if they woke up next to her
Maybe these carols and the choirs singing can bring some warmth to a few hearts?
Octubre ?
¡Todo el año!
I will listen anytime of the year!!
