The Ventures' Christmas Album [Mono/Stereo Edition]
Founded in 1958, The Ventures have released over 200 albums and still tour today.

Christmas Carols

Songs of Christmas/Christmas with The Norman Luboff Choir
Norman Luboff was a prolific composer for film and television and began recording with his own Choir as backing for other artists in the early 1950s for Columbia. The popular group eventually moved to releasing their own albums. On this new two-fer are two beloved holiday classics: the mono 1956 Songs of Christmas and the stereo 1964 Christmas with the Norman Luboff Choir.

Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol. 1: Expanded Edition
The Robert Shaw Chorale's Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol. 1 got its first release in 1949, just one year after Shaw formed the Chorale. It was re-released in 1957 and then re-recorded in stereo in 1958, which is the version Real Gone is presenting in expanded form. Two tracks have been added from the original mono version (one actually in stereo) which were excluded from the re-recording. The Chorale, while having an intermittent existence, finally disbanded permanently in 1965 when Shaw

I Want to Wish You a Merry Christmas
Bandleader Sammy Kaye got his start in the 1930s and he became popular for his "Swing and Sway" style of music. This 1957 Christmas classic presents him at three different times during his 1950s Columbia tenure, as it was assembled from several releases and sessions throughout the decade. Kaye would leave Columbia for Decca where he would record another Christmas album in 1960: Christmas Day with Sammy Kaye. Joe has written the new liner notes for this first-time-on-CD reissue!
The Complete Columbia Christmas Recordings
As a conductor and arranger, Ray Conniff led his orchestra and chorus on dozens of albums from the 1950s into the 1980s on Columbia. While not beginning that way, his albums would eventually come to be known for their covers of contemporary pop and rock hits of day. There were many conductors and artists doing much the same, but Ray Conniff was among the best-selling and certainly longest-lasting of the bunch. He recorded three very popular Christmas albums during his Columbia tenure: 1959's
