Christmas Surprises From The Ralph Hunter Choir

Hoo boy, just days from Christmas 2011! My apologies for the lack of prolific album shares, but I seem to end up recording more than I can share here. Why not finish 2011 with a doozy — albeit a title that has been shared previously elsewhere (via Ernie Not Bert). My philosophy: I ripped it, so I might as well share it! Here then is Christmas Surprises From The Ralph Hunter Choir.

This one has it's moments of zaniness ("Parade of the Wooden Soldiers", "Wassail Song"), and swank Living Stereo bongos and percussion ("Indian Christmas Carol / Latin Lullaby") but always featuring superb arrangements for the choir. An absolute classic Christmas album that should be in every Christmas eve mix! Download it - now!

Factoid: this album was later re-issued and credited to The Living Voices (with different artwork).

Have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year! Thank you to all for visiting and sharing your kind comments and reminisces, it truly makes it worthwhile. 

Regards, 

Ryan

  6. Hi-Fi. You don't hear that term much anymore, in fact now it's lo-fi. We have gone regressive. Here is another interesting blog on a 5.1 Surround Sound Xmas album. http://www.mtstudios.biz/christmas-record/
