The very 2nd LP I bought was in the mid 50s, when, walking downtown I heard
the most wonderful "I heard the bells on Christmas Day the old familiar
carols play" --- It still thrills me to hear this piece, possibly because
of the old memories of hearing it on the street like that, outside the
store that was playing it, amplified...

The entire album is wonderful.  A good one to CDR I guess...  Thanks for
the news on these re-issues, even of later recordings.
