Lets See Your Christmas Albums!

Pretty much anything by these guys will do ...

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I just ordered The Ghost of Christmas Eve DVD. It's more of a compendium of songs past with a story line attached. I did catch them once when they were in town - wOw ... just ... wOw ...
 
Here's one. :D

Now if santa were to leave her by the tree for me, it would be a Merry Christmas indeed. How old is that album by the way??
 
Found this at a thrift for a buck. The Monument engineers mixed this one very well, and it is a really nice sounding LP:

Leroy Anderson, "A Christmas Festival"

I inherited this one from my parents. It is one of my most treasured Lps, as it is LOADED with childhood memories.

Decca Ultimate Hi-Fi, and in pristine condition.

Which is something of a minor miracle, considering the decades of use by children, on less than wonderful turntables that probably tracked at 12 grams.

Uncle Bambi,

Boots With Stockings is a favorite album. If I recall, engineered by the great Tommy Strong, ex RCA Studio A and B engineer. I like Boots. Recommended. The Chet Atkins Christmas LP is superb.

I was playing the Boots album today, while I was doing sub-netting exercises. It just sound so clean. My wife walked in to tell me something, stopped for a second, cocked her ear, and said "that's beautiful music". :)

I'm going to look for the Chet Atkins one.

I like Chet a lot, but so far every album of his that I've rescued from the bargain bin has been pretty much a yawn.
