Various Artists - Have Yourself A Swingin' Little Chrismas (Vinyl)

These include the two rare songs from Louis Armstrong's 1953 novelty Decca single and the original version of Kay Starr's title Waiting For The Man With The Bag, made famous by the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Also included: the breathtaking Christmas classics of the Mills Brothers and Johnny Mercer, rousing danceable rhythms until the Christmas tree wobbles! A compilation that won't only inspire swing friends - every cake bakes itself easier at Christmas with this music, and the dance addicts always get their money's worth! From the three previous and extremely successful releases with Christmas songs on CD: 'Christmas On The Countryside' (BCD17508), 'Big City Christmas' (BCD17509), and '(Get Yourself) A Swingin' Little Christmas' (BCD17577) we now release the third volume with extremely danceable grooves from the genres Jazz, Swing and Rhythm & Blues, compiled by Marc Mittelacher. The entertaining mixture of some well-known songs and several new discoveries provides even hardcore Christmas haters and music collectors with enough material to celebrate an alternative Christmas, full of fun. The back of the LP cover contains the essential information about the individual recordings. So, no more biscuit cheeks - get up on the dance floor!
