ON THE BACK OF THE JACKET:
It was produced with the idea of pleasing children of all ages as well as adults. The material has been carefully selected and waries from novelty Christmas songs to the carols which for many seasons have represented the more serious side of Christmas.
Here, too, is your old favorite, Rudolph, The Red-Nose Reindeer, one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time with which Gene has been so closely identified, telling its appealing story of the neglected little reindeer who "made good." Here Comes Santa Claus is traditional in its own right and gaily expresses the anticipation and joy ths is the Yaletide heritage of every child. The tinkle of Silver Bells and Sleigh Bells and the treatment accorded Jingle Bells with a fourteen voice choir and full orchestral accompaniment is indeed unique.
Up On The House Top and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town are two of the better known Christmas novelties of the past few years which could not be omitted from this collection.
The finale is the story of the nativity in song, a medley of O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night and Joy To The World. O Little Town of Bethlehem sets the scene for the birth of the Christ Child, Silent Night describes the holy night when He was born and Joy To The World is the musical espression of the true meaning of Christmas.
(ibid - While I think this album was first cut in 1959 - this record was 'pressed' in or after 1968, as it has a ZIP Code given and states that 'This album also available on 8-Track stereo cartridge' - ZIPs and 8-Track were not around in 1959.
