The music of Christmas is already fill
ing the air, and soon we will cele
brate the merriest yuletide in our history.
An all-time high in musical magic has
been issued to make this Christmas melo
dious, and manufacturers have, new
monaural and stereo units on hand to
fit the decor of any home.
pops for the socks:
What better gift for the Christmas stock
ing of your favorite lad or lassie than a
musical package, one like "Bouquet" by
Percy Faith on Columbia, or "Ella Fitz
gerald Swings Sweet Songs for Lovers" on
Verve. Capitol has its best-selling "King
ston Trio at Large" and "No One Cares,"
sung so very well by Frank Sinatra.
Warner Brothers
offers season's
greetings through
its TV stars who
team for a disc of
holiday carols titled
"We Wish You a
Merry Christmas";
Ef rem Zimbalist, Jr. ,
Edd Byrnes, Ty
Hardin, Eddie Cole,
Connie Stevens, and
others sing senti
mental favorites.
Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.
classical caroling:
Among the LPs of special interest to the
classicists are Tchaikovsky's "1812 Over
ture" played by the Minneapolis Sym
phony, and the Detroit Symphony play
ing "Symphony No. 3" by Saint-Saens,
both on Mercury. Columbia and RCA
both have fine versions of Handel's
"Messiah" available this season.
for the cool yule:
If there's a special "cat" on your shop
ping list, dig one of these as a possible plat
ter present: Roulette's "BasieEckstine,
Inc." or "Joe Williams Sings About You."
Contemporary offers Benny Carter in
"Swinging the Twenties," and from War
ner Brothers you'll find "77 Sunset Strip"
by Warren Barker a welcome addition.
santa in stereo:
For those who have the "new sound"
equipment, there can be no better gift
than a stereo album. Some you might
choose from include: the sound track of
"South Pacific" on RCA; "Gigi" via
MGM's sound-track release; the peren
nial favorite, now in binaural and better
than ever, Columbia's "My Fair Lady";
"Film Encores" by Mantovani on Lon
don; and the score from "The Music
Man" on Capitol.
christmas for kids:
From Walt Disney's Disneyland Rec
ords to RCA's fine series of small-fry
fare, there is an abundance of material
available for the five-year-old-and-up
fans on your list. Featured are Mickey
Mouse and Company, Shirley Temple,
and a host of others.
