It's July... Time for some Christmas tunes?
Here's a quickie, "Christmas Suite For Orchestra" by Richard Benson and Orchestra from the Reader's Digets 4-LP set Joyous Music For Christmas Time.
According to a review on Amazon of the set, Joyous Music For Christmas Time originally retailed for:
"$7.99 ($1 more if you wanted stereo.)This almost nineteen-minute suite is a smorgasbord of your favorite carols all given fresh orchestral arrangements and recorded in pristine stereo sound. The suite was issued on CD at one point, but has now gone out-of-print. This recording is taken from the LP set.
This album was available every year until 1973 and eventually sold over a million copies."
I couldn't track down any info on Richard Benson or his orchestra, so if you know something please post in the comments!
